Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
On any of the donation threads where it came up and he replied to it, the most he ever did was some half hearted corporate PR "apology" (ironic)
The fact that you think this is worthy of posting in this community is bizarre. It's hard for me to imagine a more agreeable and reasonable statement.
A lot of users on hexbear and lemmygrad, along with some users on .ml, have extreme political positions that are worth documenting in this community. But I don't think this post fits the criteria at all. In general, I don't think Nutomic has ever really expressed any tankie opinions, so I don't understand why people continue to persecute him while using the software that he helped build.
If you have a problem with lemmy.ml as a server that's one thing, but it's pretty trashy to harass the volunteer developer of a FOSS platform that you use for free. How about finding someone else to pick on, there's plenty of worse people out there.
Transphobic bigotry means you shouldn't be breathing, you piece of shit. Fuck you.
It doesn't quite fit, true, but Nutomic is a tankie. He's not as mask-off as the other lemmy developers, but he's still a tankie, transphobic and is okay with tankie extremism.
Also consider this a warning: no apologia -- No defending tankies.
A) There's literally a pinned post in this comm that this post is, essentially, a sequel too.
B.1) One of the things they always say on the Tankie Triad is that their instance(s) are trans safe spaces, how can .ml be a trans safe space with a literal transphobe as main admin?
B.2) There's no place in a just world for transphobia
I don't see how that's transphobic tbh
This is blatant transphobia. Just imagine it with nationalities : "allowing people born in Mexico to compete under USA banner is bad" would feel awful.
The geographic location of someone's birthplace has no inherent relevance to their athletic ability.
Biological sex has a major influence on athletic ability.
Apples to oranges.
