Every time I post criticism of the instance an admin goes nuclear.

Elect: to select by vote for an office, position, or membership. by Merriam Dictionary
I thought voting “doesn’t work?” Are you telling his logic isn’t even consistent by his own standards.
This is the same instance sheltering the well-known troll Universal Monk.

The tankies communities quickly collapse when challenged first Hexbear now Vegantheoryclub. It’s almost as if their foundation is weak.
I have screenshotted that last part with much pleasure. Have a good life buddy!

“using tanks to suppress Hungarian fascists makes me a tankie???”
Yes, supporting using tanks to suppress Hungarian leftist revolutionaries, the literal event which spawned the term tankie, makes a person a tankie.
I don’t think they were saying they wanted to use tanks to suppress Hungarian fascists. They’re saying that they’re being accused of wanting to suppress Hungarian fascists (?), just because what they actually said was that they don’t like America.
I can’t really make head or tail of the whole thing. Just wanted to point out that I think you might have misread that one part.
Ah, that interpretation makes sense. Repeating the canard about Hungarian revolutionaries being fascists, I think, made me interpret it in a less generous light.
Yeah, on the overall judgement, I think I agree with you still. I read some of the links. They’re off their rocker. I was trying to see about the vote-rigging thing, but I stopped caring before I got to it.
“Ironic”
My first reaction was tldr
But i did read it…im not sure this is saying what you think it does. To me it sounds like you have multiple accounts and are cyber stalking this user and now making an info dump when they are leaving lemmy?
Like everyone needs a hobby but you’ve picked a weird one.
Can’t believe i just wasted my time reading someone’s vendetta shitpost
Funny how he calls the Hungary protestsers “fascists” and says they were suppressed completely leaving out the fact they were killed by tanks and troops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Revolution_of_1956
This is the same guy who claims the “taiwanese want to reunify with China and that Ukraine should roll over and let Russia have all the land”
I think there are malicious people on Lemmy who have learned to exploit tribal boundaries to get people on their side. People claiming to be vegan, or anarchist, or queer are three giant glaring examples of this. Once you’ve made the claim, you can come out of the gate with whatever bad-faith gibberish serves the purpose you’re trying to accomplish, secure in the knowledge that a sizable amount of the people in that same tribe will go to bat for you because you’re in the club.
(Also people claiming to be communist.)
I’m not saying that anyone professing to those things is a fake. Most people in all are clearly are being honest about it. I’m just saying that, even if someone’s in your tribe, you need to look at what they’re actually saying, and that it’s okay not to support them even if they are wearing being-on-your-tribe on their sleeve to tempt you into being a good member of the tribe and backing them up on whatever action or belief they are currently about.
Tribalism is the stupidest thing ever. I remember seeing posts about Reddit meetups, advertising something by saying “support them, they’re a redditor,” etc, like using a given social media site somehow implied trust. It doesn’t.
The same is true for political affiliations, gym memberships, or sports team preferences. Someone liking the same thing as you doesn’t make them “better” than someone else, it just gives you something to talk about.
Yet look at how many people cite influencers, famous athletes, or politicians for things they have no expertise in. It’s dumb. Why don’t people think for themselves?
Honestly I don’t care if someone is a communist. I think it way more important to put critical thought into your beliefs. Don’t be a follower or to much of a idealist.
To be fair to this instance, hosting universalmonk seems to be common. See an exerpt of my blocklist
Also, FuckTankies
What in the world is a Mormon Satanist?
Other than that TL:DR…
Who knows. You probably want to start preemptively blocking UM’s accounts now though. He has about 20 or so and several alts so it will take a bit.
Why would I preemptively block him. He hasn’t done anything to me
Then don’t. The similarity of your account is quite remarkable though, so y’all would probably get along quite well.
The similarity of your account is quite remarkable though, so y’all would probably get along quite well.
I looked at his account. I don’t see any similarity at all other than he doesn’t feel that every post in communites has to be 100 percent pro-democrat.
He likes other points of view. I do agree with him on that. But that’s anyone who doesn’t worship the dem party like Lemmy does.
Do you all think that every person that posts a conservative point of view is Universal Monk? Cuz you all act like that. lmao
Accounts. There are a few to pick from and looking at one is not the entire picture.
Post volume combined with post type is part of the similarity. The intent of your posts also appears the same: It’s not about political issues and more about getting attention. After a time, downvotes become a badge of honor, of sorts.
You chose to comment here, and you seem to know what the results would be. You were also able to determine that Lemmy was mostly non-right and you picked a username that was likey to ruffle some feathers at first glance. If you just blindly joined Lemmy without reading any posts, I would be very surprised. (Was your first thought, “OMG! Lefties and die-hard Commies! I’ll feel right at home!”? No. I doubt that.)
So, political association isn’t my first concern. It’s the intent of your posts. It’s highly unlikely that you actually read any of the articles you post but pick them based on title alone. At a minimum, you are just a propagandist and in that regard, exactly the same as UM. If you actually read that much bullshit, you rely way too much on media sources for what your opinions should be at the moment.
I can only see one of your +70 article posts from when you created your account due to how I block communities. So, you either are are really into furry porn, or you just make political posts. (TBH, the furry community is much more self-aware than your average political spammer.) It’s not really much of a stretch to understand what the majority of your posts are, even though I did catch a few of them when you created your account.
So, I don’t really generalize you as conservative. I just put you in the same category as politically toxic, regardless of your political party. I can even make some really good guesses as to how you will reply, if you even choose to reply.
So, you either are are really into furry porn, or you just make political posts.
What?!
Read previous sentence.
The one thing that’s been a much worse experience on Lemmy than Reddit or other similar social media is being Vegan, it fucking sucks here. And the anti-vegan bullshit is everywhere on Lemmy, simply mentioning it often feels like you’ve committed a war crime based on the replies.
To everyone who is part of that: you are shitty people who need to grow the fuck up.
There was a very public spat that played out between some of the mods of a vegan community and the admins of an instance probably around a year ago now.
Since then there’s been a lingering feeling of distrust and resentment between some vegans and the rest of the Lemmy user base. Trolls and instigators love to gaslight people from both sides into fighting which leads to further division.
To everyone who is part of that: you are shitty people who need to grow the fuck up.
While I tend to agree people love drama and Lemmy is an easy target for it since it’s still relatively small. They take pleasure seeing the shockwaves of these events ripple through the fediverse. Blocking them and refusing to engage with bad faith arguments (whatever your personal definition may be) is the best line of defense ATM IMO.
Anti-vegan people don’t make sense to me. I’m not vegan, but if someone doesn’t want to eat meat, why does it matter?
This fits for a [email protected] like the tankie triad does
I’m going to get myself a cup of tea
Reason: unhinged person
another day and another post by sunshine beaver that is absolute pick-me behaviour
While I can’t say I know Sunshine personally I do see them comment and post around Lemmy. I don’t agree with her all the time but I respect her as a person.
You can respect her as a person and still think she’s off her rocker.
I haven’t seen anything that would suggest she is off her rocker. Flawed? Quite possibly. However I think we are all mostly human.
None of these really prove they’re a tankie though. Most of these are saying they’re not. Seems dubious.
I’d put anarchist and any other extreme views under that category.
Well that’s just not what the word means. Check out the sidebar for the proper view.
I’d put anarchist and any other extreme views under that category.
Anarchists are literally the opposite of tankies
When you go off the deep end they are all about the same. I get where you are coming from but I think extreme views are ultimately not rational.
Extremism is relative. To a monarchist, representative democracy is extreme. To a traditionalist, women having rights is extreme. To a feudal lord, capitalism is extreme. To a slaver, abolitionism is extreme.
Very often, ‘extreme’ views aren’t rational, true. But moderate views generally aren’t rational either. As General Sherman once opined, regarding why so many otherwise ordinary people blithely accepted slavery as a fact of life, even in the North, “Man is a creature of habit, not originality.”
Anarchism, or libertarian socialism, is not particularly irrational inherently. I think it makes some vital miscalculations, but history shows that anarchism, in practice, can work. Maybe not wholly in the way of idealists’ dreams, but what ideology does? I simply disagree that it is the optimal path forward for human civilization.
EDIT: I’m not on the instance I thought I was lol
Aren’t you the person who freaked out awhile ago about horses being slaves or something?
Wait, are you actually Beaver on an alt? Because if so, it is very uncool to secretly ban people just for downvoting vegan comments. And using alts to dodge the consequences of your actions or do vote manipulation sucks too. And also in the future please think about how it reflects on the community when doing things like banning admins, even when they are being a dipshit. At least give a good faith effort to talk it out. Although honestly that led to some nice reform for the instance so I guess I won’t hold that against you.
Here’s some of the context for anyone else, although it’s brief about the initial drama on the vegan cat food thread. https://lemmy.world/post/19731457
They need meat, that’s all.
Hey I’ve been off meat for years and I’ve never once been a tankie
You can pry meat out of my cold dead meat
Guys stop downvoting them, they mean you can eat them when they die so you don’t starve too, sheesh
