Non-tankies on .ML getting upset at this:

You might not be an idiot, but you're wearing a T-shirt that says "I AM AN IDIOT" in bold letters across your chest. Maybe change your shirt. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

i've created this alt in the interim of finding a more permanent instance residence. Just got exhausted by the massive amount of shit they peddled over there.

Lemmy.sdf.org is a good one with a "very light touch" attitude towards defederating instances of what you're interested in

Sh.itjust.works is also a good one with great admins I've heard (and also funny name)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I hear a lot a spam comes from shi.itjust.works

I've seen people say this, but haven't actually seen it outside of one asshat who picked a fight with Beehaw a year+ ago.

As a user I've had a pretty great experience personally.

I've just heard from other mods that it can be a source of problems

Could be the case of a vocal minority. The biggest complaints I have scene is that the instance admins allow whatever

TODO: pedal vs peddle.

I bet there's not a gratuitous amount of bicycling going on over in .ml land, but I could be mistaken.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

fixed from 'pedalled' to 'peddled'. I've met a decent number of Marxist cyclists, so i could believe it.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago

Could be, I'm no expert on cycling.

dbzer0 is chill if you like the more corner posting type shit, as well as some piracy related shit.

Come to .nz! Our admin has the best track record on trans rights out of any instance drag is aware of.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

to better analogize this, you're hanging around a nazi rally trying to find friends, and people keep calling you a nazi for some reason.

Weird.

As a Lemmy user I don't care for this

I feel like Lemmy has the reputation of being Tankie

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

average lemming experience really.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a metaphor since tankies don't seem to exist or make a difference in real life

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

They'd have to go outside to do that.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

It literally does though. I stopped telling people that I use Lemmy as a result. When some instance defederates from ML and establishes itself as being solid, I'd love to tell people irl that I use that.

If you are trying to say not to paint people with too broad of a brush, I get it, but also, we don't get to choose how others think of us, only what we will do in response.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

There are a few tankies on other instances. The difference is that they get in trouble when they act out.
