"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether it be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users, as it handwaves their extremism.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
The comment in question:
"To everyone arriving here from /all, remember that this is a .ml community when you attempt to engage in good faith."
Edit: Sorry for the double post - I just got back after being gone all day and didn't realize someone else had made a post about my comment! There's a bit of discussion here so I was going to leave it, but if the mods would rather delete it, feel free!
It's a perfect comparison.
There's a lot of cope in your message that doesn't make sense, so I'll not entertain your accusation and purely opinion-based hypothetical "facts".
Lemmy instances are private instances. The owner and whoever they put in charge have - in almost every country in the world - the right to kick you off it for no reason.
You are comparing, by using the house example someone disagreeing with you on a public forum that you happen to own with someone making one feel unsafe in their own home, they are very different circumstances but I am separating it for one reason.
If I barged into your home and yelled at you I would be violating your safety and sanctity of your home.
If I came onto your server, you didn't like me and banned me then I came back uninvited I would not be threatening your safety or sanctity of your home, such an argument would be a bad faith comparison. Do you see the difference? A home is a personal private space to feel safe. A lemmy instance is a public place that faces the whole wide world, one cannot argue that they have safety and sanctity in such a place while making it publicly facing like this. Which is why I say it is a bad comparison. Made in bad faith if the purpose is to demonize or scrutinize the person who "violated" that person's server.
Buddy. If you come into my home with that attitude, I'd would kick you out in an instant. You don't own another instance, you just don't, even if it's public.
Not saying that at all, but good job showing your lack of reading comprehension, or you desire to misrepresent my arguments :)
You're just a troll kiddo. Get back to the grad.
