Lol, ig "egocentric" should be part of the official tankie toolkit, and yes you were tagged a tankie a long time ago.
These posts aren't for you, they're for swaying sane .ml users to leave, showing the true colors of .ml to newbies as quickly as possible and to hopefully encourage non-.ml users to avoid posting and commenting on .ml communities
Assuming this to be a working strategy (and not a way of swaying new users out of Lemmy in general), what's the endgame? If everyone you deem "sane" leaves the place, it will just be even worse, a concentrated "tankie" circlejerk, visible to plenty of newbies. Then what?
It's already a tankie circle jerk over there, you can't concentrate what's already concentrated.
Visible yes, but its a LOT easier to say "Oh yea that's the tankie instance, they're small so just block it and move on" rather than
"Oh yea that's the tankie instance, but they're also one of the biggest instances, so if you block them you'll be cutting off a decent chunk of non-tankie content"
So many stories of "I signed up on .ml because it was one of the biggest, then I realized it was full of Tankies and signed up elsewhere" and if there's stories of that, there's probably many more where the person just left and never came back because what they saw was a place was full of toxic tankies
For me posts like this just make me embarrassed to be on Lemmy in general. It's like making a post about how you get upset when you get an email from a Gmail account.
And look at the responses you get for pointing out that everyone else is acting immature in here too. Yeah Lemmy is an embarrassment.
Yeah. Lemmy was a good idea but I don't think it's user base will ever be good enough to make this a pleasant place for good communities to thrive. And it's not because of tankies or liberals, it's because of assholes.
Replace Lemmy with the Internet.
👋 Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
What have I done to you that makes you want me to leave?
You made a comment that you're ashamed of the platform. If that's the case, I encourage you to seek out one more suitable.
No I said this post made me embarrassed to be here. The instance fighting is one of the worst aspects of this site.
Okay, if you feel embarrassed do something about it. No one's going to stop arguing just because you feel embarrassed. Furthermore, the reason people are bashing people on ml is because their collective behavior has been atrocious. Here's some things you could try:
Edit: ah, look at that, the Russians woke up and the downvotes are pouring in.
No thanks
anything you say officer 🫡
