I don't know if this is the right community, if it isn't warn me and I'll move the post!

So I saw a meme about piracy on reddit (apparently a tankie HQ) and I wanted to share it on the biggest piracy instance on the fediverse, with good intentions I post, it gets some replies, but the funny thing is I can't reply as the post has been removed by the admins of that instance.

I couldn't care less, it's just a low-quality meme, in fact I'm amused more than I'm sad. These libs are doing what the US state dept was doing during the cold war FOR FREE!

I hope you all can share my amusement at the fact that apparently all it takes nowadays to be called a tankie is to be against big tech and to post from a mainstream instance. You don't even have to be a communist, it's full paranoia on their part at this point.

The meme in question, nothing "tankie" about it as far as I can tell.

Edit: btw the community about censorship on lemmy has been.... Eliminated

Also unrelated but the cat in your profile picture is pretty

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Thx, as a reward here's some other random unsolicited pictures of my cats, to unsubscribe from random pictures of my cats text "STOP"

The black one is the older and is named frippa, my username comes from her

My favorite is remì though, the tabby one

We had an older one called micia (slang for female cat in Italian) but she sadly passed away in February, stopped eating and even the vet couldn't figure out what was wrong (we had to took her because her previous owner had passed away) she probably wasn't able to manage the shock, she was old (about 13)

What's db0?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

A lemmy instance focused around piracy and other tech stuff, some of their users are pretty good and some of them are even comrades but the mods/admins are, sadly, insufferable radlibs

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Uhm sweaty this is a safe space for crackers. Please keep tankie drivel like white supremacy and world systems theory out of here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Huh, crackers... Now that you mention it, that word used to have a different meaning... One related to piracy...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Wonder how long before this "piracy" instance starts talking about copyright law and how important IP protection is.

Though I expect we'll see a lot, lot more of this from libs going forward, we're in a new age of McCarthyism and anything they don't like will be called "tankie propaganda."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

There's a thin line between 'tankie thought' and 'based justification of media piracy' that nobody can define because there isn't a line, it's the same thing, and liberals just convince themselves that there must be a line because otherwise they'd have to acknowledge the substance to ML.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Basically just admitting they're bootlicker s and they know it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean, just posting from a lemmy.marxist-lennist account is tankie adjacent right there 🤭

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Lol, you're (probably) joking but at this point I've seen about a dozen people from liberal instances like .world equating lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. I mean we're still leagues above the average reddit.world user but we are pretty heterogeneous.

I guarantee it's because of the word "privileged", what a bunch of absolute babies. A lot of db0 users are cool but their admins are so fuckin libertarian-brained. Hey jackasses, it's not "tankie" to point out that if you spend a large amount of your time browsing an internet forum you are probably decently well off in life. Also the meme is making fun of people who are anti-piracy! Its on your side!!

Removing pro-piracy posts on the pro-piracy community to own the tankies

(insert hexbear brainworm emoji)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

brainworms

I got you comrade

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Wow even a social Democrat could've posted that. Pathetic behavior.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I tried to create a db0 account, noped out when their rules have no tankies.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

their rules have no tankies

How the fuck does that even make sense lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Someone that lives a comfortable life in a first world country got offended and removed the post, that's all there is to it. There's nothing "tankie" about the meme

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

This is the House Un-Lemmy.Worldian Activities Committee. You have been accused of being a tankie. How do you plead?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I plead pipe bomb in my pants 😔

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Is that a pipe bomb in your pants or are you ju- explosion

Do you now or have you ever had an account on a tankie instance?

Do you now or have you ever had an account on an instance federated with a tankie instance?

Senator, I served my country in Singapore.
