That’s Index’s modus operandi.

Your comment wasn’t worth any more effort than that. Sorry!

As someone who is also from a border town, we sure do!

I’m sure you’d know a thing or two about strawmen.

Sounds like you might be a bit of a paranoid freak. Do you need someone to hold you in their arms?

I’m always yearning for better search results.

My guy, you know nothing about my political positions. I’m anti-authoritarian, which is not a “liberal” position lmao. Authoritarianism is antithetical to leftism and only leads to millions suffering and dying.

Also, literally anyone can take a single look at MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.it.justworks and see for themselves how heavy handed .ml’s moderation is to near-absurd levels. Constant rule 1 bans for anything users like davel and dessalines consider dissent or criticism of their pet regimes.

I wouldn’t say they’re necessarily fans of communism, more fans of authoritarianism. There’s nothing they love more than to lick the boots of authoritarian leaders, even decades long after the countries they are/were in charge of stopped being communist in anything but name only.

This asswipe always shows up in my search results when I try and search up “The Trews”. I want to listen to the Canadian band, not his shitty little “news” show.

To expand:

On .ml, you’ll likely end up being banned for “bigotry” if you dare criticize certain authoritarian regimes. The mods and admins cannot handle any sort of dissent, so censorship is quite heavy there. You’ll even get banned from unrelated communities. It’s the least toxic of the “Big Three” tankie instances, but still not a great place to be. There’s also the issue of overcentralization since it’s such a large instance, as getting an unwarranted ban can block off access to a good chunk of communities.

Grad is .ml but more extremist. They’re widely defederated for good reason, as their users are pretty horrible to anyone they consider a shitlib. I can’t say much about them from personal experience as they’ve been defederated with my instance for as long as I’ve been here, but many have alts on .ml where they do engage in shitty behaviour.

Hexbear is by far the worst. Take grad, and turn the hostility up to 11. If you say the wrong thing, it may end up posted in their “dunk tank” where they’ll then proceed to harass you as a group for days or longer, even taking it to DMs. They do not federate with other instances to participate in good faith, they federate in order to push their agenda and “dismantle Western propaganda”. And by that, they actually mean flooding threads with oversized emotes and graphic pictures of pigs shitting on their own testicles when they decide to brigade. They’re also widely defederated for good reason, and most threads involving defederating with them have plenty of examples of their awful conduct outside of their instance. Many have alts on other instances to bypass said defederation though.

and if you reeeeaaaaallllyyyyy like beavers, there’s a lil site called e621 I hear has got you covered…

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Authoritarianism is not acceptable regardless of what your ideology is, and goes against everything actual leftists stand for. People like you are no better than the capitalists and fascists you claim to be against.

Sorry you can’t be bothered to look at the evidence that’s clearly available right in front of you from a community meant to document this sort of behaviour. Where that evidence is is irrelevant, the behaviour itself is on full display for you to see.

Take a gander through MeanwhileOnGrad. All sorts of authoritarian bootlicking documented right there for anyone to see.

Criticism of China’s government = sinophobia (somehow) = banned for bigotry

Blocking users or their instances doesn’t stop them from commenting on your posts, or downvote bombing you like they did here. It just means you don’t see them.

Authoritarianism is the antithesis of leftism. Hexbear sure loves authoritarians despite being “serious leftists”.

What? A right-wing politician actually being held accountable for being awful and a criminal?

Never thought I’d see the day. Good job, France!

Didn’t an entire TV show get into some serious hot water for doing this sort of thing which resulted in someone committing suicide while filming an episode? These people are potentially putting themselves in serious danger if they corner a pedo who feels like they have nowhere to run or anything left to lose.
