Every time I post criticism of the instance an admin goes nuclear.

Elect: to select by vote for an office, position, or membership. by Merriam Dictionary
I thought voting “doesn’t work?” Are you telling his logic isn’t even consistent by his own standards.
This is the same instance sheltering the well-known troll Universal Monk.

The tankies communities quickly collapse when challenged first Hexbear now Vegantheoryclub. It’s almost as if their foundation is weak.
I have screenshotted that last part with much pleasure. Have a good life buddy!

“using tanks to suppress Hungarian fascists makes me a tankie???”
Yes, supporting using tanks to suppress Hungarian leftist revolutionaries, the literal event which spawned the term tankie, makes a person a tankie.
“Ironic”
My first reaction was tldr
But i did read it…im not sure this is saying what you think it does. To me it sounds like you have multiple accounts and are cyber stalking this user and now making an info dump when they are leaving lemmy?
Like everyone needs a hobby but you’ve picked a weird one.
Can’t believe i just wasted my time reading someone’s vendetta shitpost
Funny how he calls the Hungary protestsers “fascists” and says they were suppressed completely leaving out the fact they were killed by tanks and troops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Revolution_of_1956
This is the same guy who claims the “taiwanese want to reunify with China and that Ukraine should roll over and let Russia have all the land”
To be fair to this instance, hosting universalmonk seems to be common. See an exerpt of my blocklist
Also, FuckTankies
What in the world is a Mormon Satanist?
Other than that TL:DR…
Who knows. You probably want to start preemptively blocking UM’s accounts now though. He has about 20 or so and several alts so it will take a bit.
None of these really prove they’re a tankie though. Most of these are saying they’re not. Seems dubious.
I’d put anarchist and any other extreme views under that category.
Well that’s just not what the word means. Check out the sidebar for the proper view.

Anarchists are literally the opposite of tankies
When you go off the deep end they are all about the same. I get where you are coming from but I think extreme views are ultimately not rational.
Extremism is relative. To a monarchist, representative democracy is extreme. To a traditionalist, women having rights is extreme. To a feudal lord, capitalism is extreme. To a slaver, abolitionism is extreme.
Very often, ‘extreme’ views aren’t rational, true. But moderate views generally aren’t rational either. As General Sherman once opined, regarding why so many otherwise ordinary people blithely accepted slavery as a fact of life, even in the North, “Man is a creature of habit, not originality.”
Anarchism, or libertarian socialism, is not particularly irrational inherently. I think it makes some vital miscalculations, but history shows that anarchism, in practice, can work. Maybe not wholly in the way of idealists’ dreams, but what ideology does? I simply disagree that it is the optimal path forward for human civilization.
EDIT: I’m not on the instance I thought I was lol
another day and another post by sunshine beaver that is absolute pick-me behaviour
While I can’t say I know Sunshine personally I do see them comment and post around Lemmy. I don’t agree with her all the time but I respect her as a person.
You can respect her as a person and still think she’s off her rocker.
I haven’t seen anything that would suggest she is off her rocker. Flawed? Quite possibly. However I think we are all mostly human.
The one thing that’s been a much worse experience on Lemmy than Reddit or other similar social media is being Vegan, it fucking sucks here. And the anti-vegan bullshit is everywhere on Lemmy, simply mentioning it often feels like you’ve committed a war crime based on the replies.
To everyone who is part of that: you are shitty people who need to grow the fuck up.
Anti-vegan people don’t make sense to me. I’m not vegan, but if someone doesn’t want to eat meat, why does it matter?
There was a very public spat that played out between some of the mods of a vegan community and the admins of an instance probably around a year ago now.
Since then there’s been a lingering feeling of distrust and resentment between some vegans and the rest of the Lemmy user base. Trolls and instigators love to gaslight people from both sides into fighting which leads to further division.

While I tend to agree people love drama and Lemmy is an easy target for it since it’s still relatively small. They take pleasure seeing the shockwaves of these events ripple through the fediverse. Blocking them and refusing to engage with bad faith arguments (whatever your personal definition may be) is the best line of defense ATM IMO.
This fits for a !fediblock@lemmy.dbzer0.com like the tankie triad does
Aren’t you the person who freaked out awhile ago about horses being slaves or something?
They need meat, that’s all.
Hey I’ve been off meat for years and I’ve never once been a tankie
You can pry meat out of my cold dead meat
Guys stop downvoting them, they mean you can eat them when they die so you don’t starve too, sheesh
Wait, are you actually Beaver on an alt? Because if so, it is very uncool to secretly ban people just for downvoting vegan comments. And using alts to dodge the consequences of your actions or do vote manipulation sucks too. And also in the future please think about how it reflects on the community when doing things like banning admins, even when they are being a dipshit. At least give a good faith effort to talk it out. Although honestly that led to some nice reform for the instance so I guess I won’t hold that against you.
Here’s some of the context for anyone else, although it’s brief about the initial drama on the vegan cat food thread. https://lemmy.world/post/19731457
I’m going to get myself a cup of tea
