Why anyone would trust anything you say I've no idea. Your posts are all very much made up narratives.

If you go to settings you should be able to block an entire instance and then won't see them on /all

Thanks

Stop looking at Lemmy as a single thing, there are dozens of instances acting largely autonomously and if one fucks up, make sure you call out that one and not the entire fediverse.

Fair enough. The way Lemmy works is kinda confusing.

thats because its true, if you left your liberal echo chamber and read real news and read theory properly it would all make sense 😒

To elaborate, they are tankies who believe trans rights are western pink washing. And who larp as Haitian revolutionaries from their ergonomic computer chairs. And who literally do not post outside of their home instance because they can't handle the internet without their "I win" ban button.

And hexbear IMO.

no such thing as authoritarian lib

Hey Hexbear is targeting you by the way. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/76613775

Yeah, they would apparently rather we all forgot that tidbit.

No they didn't. If a non-aggression pact allowing Nazi annexation of territory is equivalent to an alliance, then France and Britain allied with the Nazis multiple times before the Soviets. There is a reason about how the only non-aggression pact that you hear about is Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and not the Munich Agreements or the Franco-German Declaration, etc. The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact came out of the Soviets being turned down multiple times by France and Britain to forming an anti-fascist alliance.

This is the selective remembrance of appeasement. It is ignored that that encompassed many non-aggression pacts with the Nazis and is only remembered to selectively invoke for war hawking. If we say a nation is evil, than not being on board with a war of aggression is actually evil (Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, etc.) and you are just like Chamberlain, whose only motivation was being a pussy. You can discuss the morality or effectiveness, but Molotov-Ribbentrop was to try to delay the war for preparation and that the Nazis wouldn't be stupid enough to start a war without their own oil and steel supplies and without preventing a possibility of a two front war with France/Britain, and the Soviets were caught flat-footed because of overestimating the rationality of the Nazis. There was also the worry that France and Britain might eventually join the Nazis since they were pretty vocal about fascism being a possible necessary evil as it is the most extreme form of anti-communism, even though the attempt of appeasement was trying to sit out an eventual war between the Nazis and USSR, since Judeo-Bolshevism was a thing Nazis believed before they even took power.

thats just amerikkka rewriting history with their mass propaganda machine haha

Yep. Seems to be a running theme over there.

How dare you defend against my attacks!!

/s

"Damn, how'd our planes wind up in Libya? Well, I guess we have to defend ourselves against the ground in case it attacks. What luck that our planes just happen to be loaded up with bombs!"

If you are in a 'defensive alliance' with a bunch of countries that regularly engage in aggressive overseas invasions, ones in which you frequently if not always help and provide support. Then I'm sorry to inform you that you are in an 'offensive alliance'.

Most NATO countries have in some way helped with Trump's mindless war on Iran (I mean heck, Spain is basically famous for being the only one who won't). You have to admit there's nothing defensive about that.

thats because its not its an imperialist tool with nothing defensive about it, lib worlders man 😒

When will you be spinning up your lemmy instance? I want you to show us how its done.

???? Name a single successful online community that doesn't regularly ban or remove posts. 4chan is the closest thing to that, but I wouldn't call it a successful online community (and they still do ban and remove posts, just rarely).

Not sure you are one to be the bastion of anti censorship

I have found that if u make a legitimate argument backed by facts that are irrefutable, the mod will ban you and delete all your comments for breaking from their echo chamber. Decided to return the favor for their whole instance so I no longer have the misfortune of seeing any of the drivel on their communities. Sucks because there was a couple I enjoyed despite the tankies, but there's much better alternative communities on other instances that won't kick u out for having a differing opinion. .ml/hexbear basically = authoritarian cuck, it's like the communist version of Trump supporters as weird as that sounds.

Whenever I am on Lemmy and noticed someone being very passive aggressive around politics you can almost guarantee they are from ML.

I have also noticed this a few weeks ago. I don't know whats with the snarky, ignorant, immature attitude, but its always .ml

They are so weird there. They were arguing that North Korea is definitely not an authoritarian regime and also definitely not starving their citizens or some stupid shit, and one of them started yelling about how I probably believed North Koreans all had the same haircut because of the mainstream media, which I... didn't, but I said if they did, it wouldn't be crazy because they have less diverse media to access, but also that wouldn't have anything to do with why North Korea's government is bad, but I was just so confused why they were mad about it.

You think they're bad at ml? Wait till you get a load of hexbear.

There are some deep Tankie holes on Lemmy

Deep Tankie Holes are what I'm calling my Lemmy moderator themed porno

I don't think you speak for all Romanians

Majority of Romanians view Ceaușescu and communist era positively, study shows

Romania’s president has expressed concern after a new survey highlighted a growing sense of nostalgia for the communist era, with former totalitarian leader Nicolae Ceaușescu viewed positively by most Romanians.

The study, released this week, revealed that nearly 56% of Romanians believe the communist regime—widely regarded as one of the harshest of its era—brought more benefits than drawbacks to Romania.

A large majority of respondents—over 66%—told researchers they now regard former dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, who ruled the country with an iron fist from 1965 to 1989, as a good leader.

The Institute for Public Opinion Polling (INSCOP) study, conducted with the Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile (IICCMER), suggests that nostalgia for the past is tied to widespread disenchantment around the country’s current prospects.

Just over 27% of respondents said they believed things in Romania are heading in a good direction, with more than 63% feeling that the country is on the wrong track.

Groups most likely to share positive sentiments about the communist era included the over-60s, people on lower incomes, and those living in the countryside or small towns. The same groups expressed the greatest disillusionment with present-day Romania.

In total, over 48% of Romanians said they believed life was better under communism.

No, that is Nazi propaganda that the US continued propagating through the cold war since it made the Soviets look bad. While there were definitely rapes that occurred, that happens with every occupying army, there was never any evidence of this being a policy or something tolerated by the officers. Any attempt to quantify this shows that American and British soldiers were more prolific in rapes of French women than Soviets anywhere on the Eastern Front, even though the usual refrain is just that the Soviets were better at covering it up than the US or UK, the lack of evidence is itself evidence. Also, most of the studies of this shows that having armed women combat fighters on the front and a more gender integrated military really cut down on the usual "boys will be boys" attitude of not addressing these things.

The other attempt to try to demonstrate this is the huge spike of recorded abortions in East Germany after the war, but if you think for a second about how Nazi Germany and West Germany outlawed abortions, but abortions became fully legal under East Germany, there might have been another explanation.

CoMmUnISm BadDDDddd capitalist daddy said so!

Like with the assholes that run LateStageCapitalism.

Sometimes a user's views don't align with the echo chamber they are posting in. When that happens in a political community, it usually ends in removal to protect said echo chamber.

So just like reddit? That's disappointing.

I never see anyone get called a Nazi in cat picture communities

Fair enough. I just thought it was weird to get called a Nazi for disagreeing that the USSR didn't singlehandedly defeat the Nazis.

i got site banned from reddit for posting a picture of my cat on my porch.

by the 'cats can't ever be outside' people reporting my post as violence.

there are extremist nutcases in every community. the problem is they are hypocritical bad faith actors, almost always. who feel anyone that represents anything they dislike means they should have free reign to abuse and harass those people.

"echo chamber" haha thats rich comin from the lib servers 🤣

Yeah, those places should be covered by the FAQ or something.

A much better solution would be for every other instance to just defederate them.

gots to block those evil communists! can't have anything not approved by the empire getting into my liberal echo chamber!! 🥀

i think you have it the other way around. on reddit bannings are more severe, since you get banned from the whole site. you are facing against a sub mod ban, filters, and then the reddit admin filters too. plus thier shadowbans seems much harder to get around with, unless you are using evasion methods. on lemmy you can get banned bya community, or instance, but still can participate in those communities and instances if you have another account. reddit does IP/fingerprinting bans, as well ashadowbans.

It's worth trying out local or niche instances of lemmy as opposed to only the big ones. I think you'll find a bit more peace that way. The internet is as the internet does, but there's pockets of relief!

Deleted for saying the Soviets didn't win the war singlehandedly.

Should still be in the modlog, right?

No, it wasn't you. These guys were calling me a Nazi for saying it was a group effort.

One was called EmmiLime and the other was Gary_Host_Laptop

Actually, according to lemmyverse.net (great place for comm discovery btw!) and my own experience cross posting .ml content, .ml is almost entirely held up by a core set of the most diehard tankie users. Most .ml comms are overshadowed by comms on other instances with much higher Monthly Active Users numbers.

The comm search field goes by pure subscriber count which doesn't really decrease for any reason other than a user actually unsubscribing from a comm so all of those insane numbers on some .ml comms are just overinflated and don't reflect actual traffic. It's full of dead and/or banned accounts, alts and some still active users

Why come to a Marxist website and then block the Marxist creators lmfao. Just go back to reddit.

Which worldnews? IIRC there are multiple communities called that way.

worldnews@lemmy.ml

Also you should stop using Facebook and Tiktok, it's not good for your brain and for democracy.

What does Facebook and tiktok have to do with anything?

Don't forget Italy.

You forgot to include USSR on the Axis side too.

They only lost the most due to their tendency to throw bodies at a problem until it went away. They didn't have to lose so many.

If I had to choose between having a conversation with someone from ml or dbzer0, id just give myself a concussion and take a nap.

Edit: I need to correct myself. ml doesnt seem that bad and I think I got it mixed up with something else. Might be losing my mind a little.

Just so you know, that community (really instance) is so biased they literally won't allow any criticism of your home instance...

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/...

If a place to highlight mod abuse only allows posts they agree with, it's propaganda.

Like, of all the communities that bias would be a problem, a place to complain about moderation is probably where it's the biggest problem.

That being said, there's a fair chance you were already aware of that and have somehow rationalized it being ok

Let me guess you're American and you voted for genocide.

Already did. They're nuts.

To be fair the users of .ml aren't all bad, but their mods are, as are their enforcers. Hexbear is even worse. It's top down, it's not organic entirely, it's the long palsied arm of russian intelligence, pushing an ideologogy that if they pushed it in Russia or China would get sent to a gulag or reeducations camp.

hahaha yeah amerikkka rly tipped the scales coming in at the very end just in time to claim credit and not actually do shit, liberals 🤣

I am happy to hear you are taking responsibility for what you see on lemmy. This is much healthier then making biweekly+ cringe feudposts begging your server admins to defederate.

Let me help:

Welcome to a tutorial on how to block .ml on your personal account.

In the top right corner of the top of the page, there are 3 horizontal white bars. Click it.

This will open up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu, you will see your username. Click it.

This will open another drop down menu with 3 options. Click "Settings".

At the top of your screen you will see 2 tabs. Click the one that says "Blocks".

Here you will see "Block user" "Block community" and "Block instance". Click the down arrow below "Block instance".

This will open up a search bar. Type "lemmy.ml" and click it after it shows up. That's it! You've blocked .ml and will never see content from the instance.

But wait, we aren't done yet in this menu. Click the down arrow under "Block user". Now type "UltraGiGaGigantic" Make sure you select my .ml account as the other ones I no longer use. Thanks, appreciate it.

History is fun!

It's the .ml one

"Instance that spreads authoritarianism gets called out"

What kind of a person reads about a huge number of dead humans and thinks "ah, a contribution to the war effort". That explains so much, really.

It also goes to show how the USSR needed the help and without it being a group effort the citizens of the USSR would have suffered even more.

The Soviet tendency to throw bodies at a problem until it went away is largely to blame for their high casualties though. And without allied support they'd have lost even more.

Ho so?

You talk like a child.
