Mastodon "leftists" (hexbear.net)

Went both looking for fellow tankies and seeing who I should be blocking on Mastodon by looking at the hashtag #tankies.

It gave me brain damage and I also found a few of these "lemmy is made by tankies, ewww can't use it"-posts that I had never seen before. So sharing these for our mutual enjoyment:

Also just the general vibe of the posts with this tag is just so hostile. We really live rent free in these peoples heads. Interesting how so many of these were ukraine flag or isntreal flag profiles too, also a few anne applebaum replies, because of course.

The vibe is pretty much whatever this drivel is by a true communism understander:

ah yes, the dastardly tankies of lemmy are coming after trans people! Do not look at how many users on Hexbear are trans! Do not believe your lying eyes!

The tankies on Lemmy have moderation issues that leave trans users vulnerable.

Meanwhile on Hexbear, we used to ban people for even downvoting pro-trans threads.

Uphold TC69 Thought.

Oh that's what's going on on the other commie instance? pretty cringe

lemmy vs lemmygrad, I belive. A common error

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't know you COULD downvote on Hexbear

[-] Babs@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

Many years ago there was a downbear button. It's good that we got rid of it - now if someone says something you don't like you gotta engage, even if it's just to post a :downbear:

Saw that downbear and panicked for a second. Worried that I said some bullshit and was called on it.

[-] Babs@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

We got rid of downvotes, and we are so much more powerful for it.

Here it is a lost and forbidden dark art

Users on other instances federated with us can downvote us, but we care not for we know not behind Our Great Communist Firewall.

I really don’t understand why libs go so hard on that angle. They’ve been doing it since the subreddit days when it was one of the better subreddits for trans people.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Its kinda true though nutomic is a transphobe

[-] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

I keep getting Lemmy, the wider lemmyverse, and Lemmygrad all confused

The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
