Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    What I’ve learned is that Reddit.world allows for rule breaking as long as you’re punching left, but if you’re the one being beat on and you defend yourself you’ll be banned for wrongthink.

      I had the exact opposite experience in .ml for slightly criticizing communism and got site-banned by an admin right after the lynching. I’ve been criticizing the right in .world for two and a half years without a problem. Not a single comment taken down or a single ban for it. I don’t know where .mls who criticize .world get that from, but judging by the awful and overwhelmingly terrible attitudes I see from .mls I can see why they’re often complaining.

      I saw a comment the other day saying that an .ml called them a nazi and then that same .ml replied with a picture of the comment they had made dehumanising Russians.

      Both comments got removed.

          Mostly to get away from the liberals, rightists, bots, trolls and capitalists losers.

          So while the tankies and the terminally online purity test leftists are shitty, it’s at least not as bad as all the bullshit on Reddit and they are a small minority.

              I mean, you can view it that way if you like, but I feel like if you’re being an actually reasonable person, you can acknowledge there is a big difference between a purity test that about some politicians policy on benefits for homeless people not being enough, and a purity test of not assassinating political opponents or just straight up being an authoritarian.

                So is this the “LA LA LA” you yell while plugging your ears to the actual tests ‘tankies’ apply to politicians usually having to do with imperialism and genocide?
