Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

...by dunking on their user bases

They don't really bother to hide the fact that their primary reason for existing is trollng and brigading, do they?

Edit: Here is proof that "dunking" is their term for organised brigading, where a hexbear member is posting a comment in another instance on hexbear "if you wanna dunk".

Is there a way to just block hexbear? Tankie nonsense almost kept me from trying Lemmy at all, and for the longest time, it’s been good. But recently it’s just tankies everywhere and I’m so over them.

Only way is to join instances that have tankie instances blocked.

Downside as a Lemmy.world user:

For the last chunk of time I have had zero clue the fuck everyone is talking about. Whats a "hexbear" and whats all the hubbub about?

Hexbear is blocked but all the people complaining about hexbear sure isnt lol

That's very obviously trolling and shitposting, not sure why anyone would read that thinking it's an actual serious post

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

that's a lot for a troll to type out.

I can see how you'd think that if you're new to using computers and your WPM is like 10. Probably also why you think that was a serious post.
