Welcome ex-Redditors!

Drag suggests you learn what a dude, guy, or man is, and why perhaps you shouldn't call strangers those words, especially after investigating their profiles and most likely realising they're nonbinary.
I'm sorry, I wasn't intentionally trying to misgender you, in my native language the equivalent of "dude" is gender neutral.
But you know what is internationally considered rude and uneducated? Focusing on small details of what someone says to devert from the main argument. Also referring to oneself in third person... -
The f-slur is defined as referring to gay men, but people also use it to insult straight men by suggesting that they're gay. In the same way, "tankie" may be defined as a particular type of communist, but it is deployed against people who don't fit the definition to imply that they do.
This is how basically all insults work, don't play dumb. The definition is something assumed to be bad, and the way it's used is to suggest the person meets that definition.

Don't worry Redditors.. it's the same "the Right sucks, and the Left can do no wrong" rhetoric you hear over there...

I think there's an instance on .ml that has everyone in a tizzy. I myself haven't had any issue with .ml specifically. Lot of 'mens rights' bigots from .ee though, not sure why that is.
Methinks there might be a culture war/defederation covert campaign being done by more right or even just regular liberal users.
That or I'm being paranoid.

In the past week I caught a 7 day ban for "misinformation" (x3, then for reposting a link to the mod logs, "skirting the rules", "repeated offenses" etc.) from /c/WorldNews for accusing Democrats of being complicit in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. An actual fact - tens of billions of dollars in arms sent to an ongoing genocide/ethnic cleansing by Biden. No problems like that on lemmy.ml. That really says it all for me.
By the way, Lemmy was created by Dessalines, the admin of lemmy.ml.

Try criticizing .ml on an .ml sub and you'll start to taste the authoritarianism
-
If someone's identity is based on hating tankies, then they're mostly likely right-wing (aka liberal).
Imma be honest, I don't think .ml belongs on there. Their users can be pretty cool.
-
I meant that one, my bad
-
If I were criticizing various nations more than the U.S., I wouldn't shame people for "authoritarian bootlicking". Glass houses and all that.
-
Again, despite claims to the contrary, tankie for most people means "anything left of the Democrats, or willingness to break with US foreign policy."
-

And critically, not just since Trump. As soon as the ink dried on the Nazi surrender, the US and OSS/CIA armed and funded every fascist they could find since fascists are the most dedicated anti-communists.

Welcome

Got my account and started reading and posting today, and you're right, they are nice people. I had somehow mixed up Beehaw and Hexbear in my head. Big mistake.
I may end up moving over there as primary just because I'm so tired of the trolls myself.

Yay, I'm glad you like it there! It's definitely more slow moving than the rest of Lemmy, but I like their weekly community chats and stuff. Also a killer gardening community.

Welcome! I am new too. Still getting adjusted to the federations and the "way" things are here.
