Pretty incredible crashout from people who are terrified that their pro-genocide devs might not exercise complete control anymore, lmao

My favorite is all these twats before saying "IF YOU DON'T LIKE LEMMY CREATE AN ALTERNATIVE" when people pointed out that the Lemmy devs were pro-genocide and enforced pro-genocide views on their flagship instance, and now that there's an alternative, they have total meltdowns about persecution, lmao.

But no one ever said fascist bootlickers were particularly bright, or, for that matter, stable. If they were, one imagines they wouldn't tie up their identity so tightly with genocide denial.

I read about most of the shit the tankies on ml say it's censorship. Many of them are just common sense stuff. And the fact that you are flagged for commenting "this" or that you're commenting with a GIF from Tenor - those two things are pretty low effort and I think the answer to it is a proper one (no, it's not actually a thing about GIFs, it's about low effort comments. You can upload your own GIF elsewhere and use it).

Also, it's funny how they have nothing against China using a social credit system, but when Piefed uses it IT'S HELL ON EARTH!!!

USAID which is a CIA cutout

This claim is literally standing shoulder to shoulder with known Hitler-worshipper Elon Musk's attacks on USAID last year. The only group that can out-conspiracy theory Hexbear and Grad is Qanon at this point.

That thread is a mess only good point that was made is that the spoiler effect is baked into first-past-the-post to minimize democracy. The elites want us stuck with only 2 choices on the ballot.

More people need to educate themselves on electoral systems since those in power want us to accept an inferior system till the end of time. But that’s too much thinking for Tankies, gotta burn down society for the accelerationism bs that just gets people killed and progress stalled for ages.

Imagine unironically posting these comments in communities that notoriously ban people for wrong-think.

Shit like this really makes me question if they can genuinely be this stupid.

Oh yeah that was the post that made me block their meme community 🤣

Is the "globally tracks your score" part true? That would be a huge negative for me. I found myself self-censoring on Reddit, and I hated it when people deleted or edit their comments to preserve their karma.

Gonna have to disagree with you on this one.

Much though one might criticize the lemmy devs for their politics, at least they keep it to their instance. They don't bake it into the software.

And that's very much as opposed to rimu, whose opinions are at the heart of Piefed and forced into virtually everything the software does from the moment you sign up for a piefed instance, from the preset subscriptions to the reputation tags and default hiding of downvoted content to the list of prohibited sources and banned domains.

All you have to do to avoid Dessalines and Nutonic's opinions is to avoid their instance and federated ones. But it's impossible to use Piefed and avoid rimu's opinions, because they're baked into the software.

I kind of like the karma thing on redddit, it should be available to everyone perhaps. I guess there are upsides to not having karma too, but it is a clue to help spot some troll accounts, and influence agents, bots, etc. You see patterns in their profiles when you id one and check their profiles. They are rife across social media.
