    I’m amazed they set a timeout for the bans.

    also, is it just me, or is that bubblybubbles user the latest iteration of the full-time tankie propagandist? 6 days old account. there were at least 2 previous accounts that were nonstop churning news and memes of the tankie worldview, the later one being jackeroni, and this one seems to be milder than both of those.

      Tankies use .ml as spaces for their alt accounts, most of them are organised across discord and matrix.

      While good for an individual users’ sanity, it doesn’t really solve the problem and is holding back wider uptake and harming the Threadiverses reputation

      The thing is…originally (in June 2023) .ml felt like a normal instance, which gradually became hopeless. Now I feel like they are starting to spill into some .world communities. I hope lemmy is not going to be eaten up by tankies as it gets more popular and pushes out non-normie sane people.

        Oh, I really meant on their communities, as in leave the .ml alone. But when they spread their bullshit in communities on other servers, counter it if course.

          Yes, but I felt that when these debates were had in .ml, it was better because it left .world cleaner, but as people give up on .ml, they have more room to keep spilling out (they have nothing to debate with themselves). Maybe people actually gave up because the moderation became openly hostile over time.

            Once it becomes a full echo chamber there is no one to argue with, because they all agree so they have to find other communities to stir shit

      we are at war with russia, we should defederate from instances that support russian, anti-west propoganda, unquestioningly

      they do not even allow open discussion and have not done for a long time

      time for .world to disconnect from the fetid twisted pupa

      There’s pros and cons to it, on the one hand is your point to just leave them to their delusions. And for instances like hex and Grad, I fully agree with you.

      Unfortunately, .ml is in a special place as few instances want to widely defed from them for fear of backlash from the devs and losing support from them (which is a fair point, I can totally see dessalines being that petty)

      So having people counter their propaganda is more for newer users to see that there is push back on their crap and less about getting tankies to change their views

        Not to mention there are still many highly active non-political communities on ML.

        ML admins/mods acting like the goons that they are is a good incentive for such communities to move off ML.

              Y’know, it’s funny how you rant and rave about genocide all the time like you’re against it, yet you’re totally fine with calling for someone’s death because they dared to remove your comments and you also constantly call for Israel to be nuked. Y’know, the sort of thing that’d kill everyone in Israel and Palestine. And make the entire region uninhabitable.

              Most sane, well adjusted individual over here. Totally hasn’t lost the plot and became the very thing they claim they want to destroy.

                  You can’t let go because you’re a nutjob who can’t move on with their life and have nothing better to do. Get a real hobby.

                  The fact you believe people deserve death for internet comments already proves you’re not the good guy here. You’re no better than the people you hate so much. I’ve seen you accuse so many people of being pro-genocide (which to you, warrants being violently murdered) that actually aren’t, but you’re so blinded by your rage that you can’t see anyone for who they are. You don’t see anyone here as a human being, just an enemy who needs to die. Face it, you’re fucking nuts. Palestine deserves better than you do.

                Oh, I love it. He’s single-handedly pushing this community bigger and bigger.

                He puts in so much effort, using a VPN, making a new account, finding the same threads to post to, and replying multiple times. And all of that is removed with a click of a button, takes me a literal second. The best part is he’ll make a new account and do it all over again, literal insanity, all while boosting those numbers

                  And the fact he’s been at it for nearly a year is the cherry on top. So much dedication to accomplishing absolutely nothing! No Palestinian lives have been saved by raging at people on a tiny social media platform, none of the people involved even know he exists, and nobody reads what they have to say because they get banned so quickly. Antiyanks proves to be more entertaining than anything else. When all else fails, we can always rely on him to make an ass of himself.
