This is why some don’t see the problem with .ml, they’re way more subtle. And to those I say look:
This comment was removed by a .ml mod in that thread and the user banned:
And yet, another comment from a .ml user referencing .world instead, but essentially says the same thing as @Fizz@lemmy.nzs comment is allowed to stay up just fine for hours.
Why was that not removed? Where is their ban?
Just .ml Tankie things ig
ZombiFrancis has infinite patience for defending tankies, it’s not in good faith.
Infinite? Nah. I just know the default state for every most online spaces is pretty mask off right wing. As an American government worker I have 90% cop brain interactions in meatspace too.
So the tankies, the few there are in a marginalized online space? Yeah, they don’t worry me one bit. They’re on par, if not almost refreshing, compared to any gaming lobby I have experienced for the last 30 years.
So I see what appears to be an outsized reaction to a really inconsequential group of people. The idea that one of their takes scares off a redditor or anyone else closer to the default is almost comical as a concern.
Ah, yes, nothing quite as refreshing as apologia for genocide because [checks notes] the genocide isn’t happening in your country.
As an American, let me reassure you of how very American a reaction that is. :)
“It’s hilarious that a site built by tankies and which has three of the major instances run by tankies who celebrate genocide might scare off anyone who isn’t a genocide supporter!”
Ha ha ha. Comical. Hilarious.
People have said the same thing about neo-nazis and white supremacists in the past and look who is running the country now.
