Anywhere on Lemmy
Man, I’m bored, guess I’ll fuck with tankies.
clears throat
Ukraine didn’t start the war.
Yesterday was tianmen square day, what do you think about Tianmen square?
(Yughurs are also a nice litmus test)
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml @yogthos@lemmy.ml china is an authoritarian dictatorship, a surveillance state with no private life whatsoever. china is not communist, and any attempts at free speech are punished
let the downvotes pour!
China is a dictatorship.
Vodka is a Ukrainian spirit
Kinda curious where these ‘tankies’ are from and their line of thoughts
I have been banned from .ml twice for stating that Russia shot down a civilian aircraft over Ukraine.

Which works better? Russophobia or sinophobia? Do you just got full USA nationalist/imperialist or what? It looks like most people here are more into the sinophobia.
Those tankies gonna be so mad! lmao!!! \s
oh so you just hate Russians and Chinese, eh!?
Nope, the US is a police state that funds genocide. You’re either against all of the tyranny or none of it, and none of the three are getting any excuse from me.
Fuck Russia, China, Israel and America, and if anyone else wants to flash some fasc, fuck them too.
ITT severe kamalacaust/lib cope.
Is there any actual evidence of downvotes?
So, you’re going to just declare the admins of multiple instances just lying about things then?

https://fun.with.kyun.li/All came online within the day it happened and all are now offline now that they’ve been widely defederated from and useless. With notable mentions to downvote troll accounts @FourGreenFields@feddit.org and @TheDregg@lemmy.world who were also banned
FR Fuck Tankies lol
I even get downvotes on stuff like “racism is bad”.
No you don’t lmao. Stop lying.
Yea no, he’s not. Anybody who starts becoming a thorn in the side of Lemmy tankies starts having perfectly innocuous posts and comments getting downvoted
You’re literally on a post about Tankies making three whole instances full of fake users to mass downvote me because I speak out and collect evidence against them
And there are so many others before me with similar stories.

Maybe the tankies aren’t the problem?
LMAO, yea sure buddy. Even though they were doing something from the top 5 shit things you could do to the Lemmy-verse, they’re “not the problem” lolol
Everytime I checked downvotes on anyone’s posts, they came from .world. And the instances referenced were here before .world, since the admins are the ones who, checks notes, created Lemmy.
I’ve seen admins claim a handful of users/ipaddresses are responsible for 90% of all downvotes and it was not World.
Although, World is a very active and popular instance for being vanilla but also defederating from Hex and Grad.
admins claim
LMAO, if you’re going to be a Tankie/Tankie apologist at least pay attention. The meme isn’t about the Tankie Triad, it’s about 3 just a few days old instances. Which you would know if you’d bother to follow the context link and put in some effort.
you should say “racism bad” and see how many people ironically downvote for the lolz
Yeah the last decade has been pretty good evidence that people pretending to be CHUDs online are CHUDs IRL
I’d say about 70% of my comments have exactly 1 or 2 downvotes. Just the other day I said “lmao, nice” on a post about the IRS open-sourcing tax software and it got a downvote.
You’re a prolific poster. It’s possible they just recognize your username and vote based on their opinion of you alone, without reading each post.
That’s likely what’s at work with these things. I even got a few chronic haters that downvote just about everything I write, even when it’s calling out racism. They’ll downvote criticism of Nazis in the effort, even.
He steals half of it from the instances he hates.
Just the other day I said “lmao, nice” on a post about the IRS open-sourcing tax software and it got a downvote.
Not a tankie, but maybe people just downvote that kind of low effort spam.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
🥴💦
mass downvotes mean so little on a site where posts get at most 13 comments
And deleted in a couple days.
Well all of them shut down yesterday AND one of them, started a new instance in its place. already defederated, but curious…
I mean… Who fucking cares?
The people who are too stupid or incompetent to fact check basic things.
Those without critical thinking skills
It kind of affects all of us if people (barely) are manipulating the feeds in broad daylight.
lol
furthermore: lmao
It will never not be funny to me that some people are so chronically online they think everyone else gives as much of a fuck about made up internet points as they do, and more, will go to such an extraordinary effort on a site which doesn’t have cumulative karma like reddit did. which they are either too stupid to realize or too angry to care. these guys not only need to touch grass, they need to go disappear into the woods and become one with nature for a few weeks.
lastly, ow, fuck, my sides!
Upvotes and downvotes are made up internet points that decide sorting in the feeds.
It might not mean much if your opinion is popular or unpopular but when some individual loser wants to make you unseen that feels like a problem.
oh yeah, I’ll bet OP feels very unseen right now, with their nearly 500 net upvotes and ~70 comments on this post.
Point being, said loser has failed miserably to do anything other than make themselves look more like a loser.
Since your instance or app doesnt show downvotes, it currently has 627 upvotes and 77 Downvotes. When I first came across it they had 250 to 55.
But if you checked his context link you would see that they literally made brand new instances just to downvote this person for collecting evidence on their shittiness.
you apparently missed the word “net” in my comment. It does show downvotes on my app/instance. Ergo, his posts are still reaching people just fine, because again he has several hundred net upvotes, and many comments, meaning whoever was trying to limit his visibility has failed.
I just checked your post history, it’s crazy how your posts are getting mass downvoted. Keep up the good work my man!
I mean, this person is on a personal quest to get everyone to block .ml , I can understand why they might be a bit agitated. Tankies aren’t known for their patience and open mindedness.
It’s very easy when they hate you and have a bunch of alts. Hexbear fell to a new low i didn’t think was possible. Every time i interact with a haxbear instance, the up/down things seem so fucky. See my comments on meta@ee. i’m willing to bet my left nut on the fact that they are manipulating votes in some way.

Ml, hex… what’s the third suppose to be?
Lemmygrad
I thought that was a nickname for .ml
It is just defederated everywhere, so most don’t see their posts anymore.
It sort of is, I think the same people run it, but its also a seperate domain where they take the masks off.
Oh, it’s been so long since the last time I saw something from that instance that I totally forgot them
Thanks
I highly recommend. russia is a state of insane.
No, it’s just new instances to easily create accounts in (why would those three be new when they’re literally older than .world?)
Is it to like muddy the waters? I can make 500 accounts on my instance if I wanted to?
They should know better, you obviously have a good keyboard and lots of free time. I wouldn’t mess with you and I’ve been boxing for 20 years.
Lol you shouldn’t pick online fights with people who WFH in IT 😂
Man never give that up. I left a WFH job in IT that I wasn’t really happy with, but it was fine. Left to a company where everything was better on paper. Now I work 50 hour weeks on average as salary, and don’t have time to even use my benefits that actively are better.
Never give it up. Neverrrrrrrr.
You could just leave and find another job again?
I’m looking for a job in a different industry entirely!
Maybe look inti teaching programming. It doesn’t pay as much, but it’s very rewarding. Doesn’t have to be with a university or something. For example, I teach springboot at a private institute. We have bootcamps, but also full, accreditted bachelors. I get to talk about talk about programming a lot, share my knowledge, expand my knowledge, give fun extracurricular talks every once in a while, write new coursework, write fun exercises. Maybe there’s something like that near you
You programming guys are way smarter than me. Tech writing wouldn’t be a bad pivot, but I’m a little worried companies will think genAI will do that work just as well as a writer. I’m actually looking at a pivot to HR, since I like the kind of people focused work and market research stuff they do.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness though. It’s very kind of you to take time out and try to assist a stranger. 🙂
I hate to ask, but can someone help me understand what .ml is doing differently? And what’s a tankie? Genuinely asking
Here’s a recap post
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
Thanks! (Tanks?)
Edit: I was wrong below and am corrected in replies to this comment.
The moniker Tankie is a reference to the Tiananmen Square Massacre because of their minimalizing or outright denials regarding the incident.It predates that, actually. Goes back to the USSR sending tanks into Eastern Europe to put down rebellion.
Yep, the Prague spring.
No, it was coined for those who supported the soviet invasions of Hungary and czechoslovakia in 1956 and 1968.
I’ve just had .ml blocked for a long time and life’s been good. I would prefer defederation. If put democratically, I’m sure that’s what would be voted for as well.
Yeah me too. There’s very little value to justify keeping them in my feeds. As soon as there is a decent alternative to lemmy I’m leaving.
I’m banned from 1 of 3…
… so far.
Rookie numbers.
Try harder, bud.
