I’ve seen around 3 occasions of that this week, altho I have never seen anything like it before.

if I remember correctly they were:

  • smack talking a mod (FlyingSquid) for saying not to report the same comment twice, when they were different comments, and the report was spam
  • someone comparing .world with .ml in politics (as in there was a comment saying "this post will be overrun with .ml people, and then a comment going “but you are from .world”) (Maybe Im part of the problem? I have been called out for being a fascist because I questioned the “puching nazis” theme)
  • one more which I can’t remember.

Anyways, what is all that about? Are people really starting to hate on 50% of the lemmy population because of their instance?

    Hello,

    This might not be the best place of all, but what do you think about this example of instance-level banning for pointing out removal of comments critical to the CCP?

    It’s mostly that behavior I have in mind when I think about “tankies”

      The best place to have that convo certainly isn’t a .world thread. The least spicy way of putting it is that Marxists defend AES.
