Comment on The crusade against Lemmy devs, lemmy.ml, and so-called "tankies"

One of the biggest pushing forces that have made people move away from Lemmy is tankies, demonstrably. .ml and Lemmygrad are shockingly toxic, regardless of if you agree with their politics(and you’d better, yor you’re insta banned)
It’s so such a meme, there are multiple communities documenting people catching full site bans for saying things like “Russia is kind of uncool, actually”
It doesn’t really go much deeper than that. The admins are authoritarian assholes that have fallen deep into the online leftist rabbit hole, and well adjusted users don’t want to be around them.

Do you evidence that this is really the case? Do you think that it could perhaps be your personal perspective?

Enough of personal perspective to be banned for mentions of things they don’t like, or comments that can be interpreted in a myriad ways. Mods there consciously want people to fall in line. Fuck them, they are worthless idiots.
Not even talking about the surrealistic feeling of some fat American leftist who can’t read in Russian telling you sitting in walking distance from Gorky Park how you’re all wrong and superficial on bloody USSR. And they don’t get any ideas when you tell them that.

As I have said Im not into communism and have not been banned from the whole instance so far. Honestly I don’t find being banned as all that bad of a thing. I have often compared the federation to going out in meatspace, at least in the way I want to interact with it. Being banned just means that space is not for me and I will go hang someplace else. Honestly I find having posts removed as more insulting. One reason I have the interactions I did with cm0002 is because someone at a .world instance removed a post I did of my daily comic and for me that was just totally unacceptable so I started posting the .ml equivalent community instead.

Fair enough, thanks.
