    I'm just going to ask you a question. Do you think Mitt Romney was a fascist?

      Lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are infested with tankies though. It is probably going to make me leave Lemmy. I've already started to discourage people in my life from joining because of how bad political and technological communities are.

        they're not capable of self reflection

        You missed the part where I said it is for the readers, not the cultists. It is not about convincing these ideologues, it is to warn the readers why the ideas of these cultists are bad.

        If you look at their past interactions with "tankies", they're all the opposite of what you say they should be: it's the "tankie" calmly and reasonably making their points while SoftestSaphic immediately descends into an incoherent raging tantrum.

          You will never be accepted in this space no matter how many alt accounts you make to downvote people.

          This isn't reddit you fascist, your tactics don't work here.

          Calling an admin an alt account is a bold play.

              The fediverse is small, and thats both a blessing and a curse - one of its several blessings is that in a smaller space we all individually have a bigger impact on what the culture of this space is like.

              On this comm (and on lemmy broadly) there's a lot of discussion about how to grow the fediverse, what to improve, but an easy thing you can do for the fediverse is right in front of us-

              • Be kind

              • Ask people what they think, and why

              • Approach folks you disagree with with curiosity rather than hostility

              • Engage sincerely

              • Ask yourself if there's something nice you can say

              • Make this small space worth being in

              A platform lives or dies by what's available on said platform and often we have this conversation in the context of "content" or posts - and we may never have as much content as reddit does. But content and posts aren't the only thing this kind of platform offers- it also offers people. It offers community, and human interaction.

              Culture and community is lemmy and the fediverse's biggest differentiator, and we all have a role to play in shaping the culture of this space.

              The biggest thing you can do to help the fediverse is make it a place worth being.

                    These days everyone who is not ultra-left easily gets labelled as Nazi, similarly everyone who brings up any rather left argument will be called a woke snowflake.

                    What the hell are you smoking? Have you turned on the news? Paid attention to politicians? Check in with how exactly companies chose to sustain and expand DEI (A <- where did the accessibility go we wonder?) after Trump and DOGE attacked it?

                    You are so wrong, if the universe repeated at the edge of itself like in the old Asteroids arcade game, you would have long ago crossed into Very Right by slamming straight past the most extreme extent of Completely Wrong.

                    Wow, keep your emotions at bay, will you?

                    Not even sure what to respond, except for what I wrote previously: A lot of discourse is broken by calling people whatever and not listening.

                    You are somewhat setting an example of what I am talking about, since I am not even disagreeing with the opinion that I am infering from your writing.

                            Every time I engage with you tankies it results in mockery, lies, trolling, genocidal denial, intolerance, and pushing mostly Russian propaganda. You really aren't welcome here.

                                If you're getting comments removed from .world of all places, it's not because you're "calling out a tankie", that's for sure. I'm assuming it's more "screeching at a socdem".

                                  1,400+ comments in 3 months. You do nothing in the real world. Terminally online. Your ideals are performative and you're here sowing dissent in leftist circles. That's exactly what tankies do.

                                    Not really. I gave sources of Ukrainian genocide, and it got removed. Y'all in the general sense, if you dont identify as a tankie, great. Maybe stop taking the bait then? Doesn't feel like it from where I'm standing though.
