Bans are fine IMO, I don't want tankie shit clogging up my feed. I should be able to block those views and the admin should be allowed to block them from participating if they so choose.

Its about tankies banning non tankies.

It's different when our side does it

i realize the joke. BUT, tankies are generally pretty insufferable. Normies, don't really happen to be all that insufferable, unless you're a tankie who believes anything other than what you think is fucking extremist terrorist shit.

thats the point of instances, but idk why they show up in .ml or world in that case lol. You would think tankies would just directly echo chamber themselves, but they haven't quite done that yet.

So are non tankies. Tankies don't have a monopoly on being closed minded, being jerks, etc. lemmy.world is really bringing out the misanthropy in me today, for example.

Edit: Ugh, was just reminded about some of the things the tankies are saying. There's no comparison.

classic tankie experience "surely the tankies aren't SO bad" "oh"

Yeah, like banning the KKK makes me the intolerant one.

Have you ever had a short look at the modlog? Users getting banned from 10+ unrelated communities with reason "liberal". All because some hater is a mod to multiple communities. Like what good does that serve?

The news@lemmyworld mods ~~admins~~ have been banning people for criticizing the MBFC bot, so yeah, let's just keep using bans until this place looks like Reddit again.

Edit: mods, not admins
