Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I mean any default experience which includes the ml trio is legitimately vile. The sooner Lemmy gets serious about the tankie problem, the better.
I despise the tankies, but imho, stopping them from having their own servers simply pushes them into .world etc. - let them have their safe space, defederated.
To be clear, I am talking mostly about defederation, but also about a development roadmap which removes them from the critical path. Mostly because I don't trust them, but also because they make building an open source community that much more difficult. I have a bunch of accounts on various Lemmy instances but I've made piefed my home for now because it represents a path away from tankie adjacent development.
I wish I understood what the tankies are actually thinking. I just cant understand them. Even rightwing crazies seem more easy to understand. Are they just so extremist they repress any logical thought within themselves if it clashes with their views? Why do they idolize those horrible regimes? What is actually important to them?
They're like holocaust deniers. They're conspiracy theorists who think we're being tricked into not knowing the truth by mainstream media (which... That's a fair critique) and then "doing their own research" and reaching wild ass anti-vax-esque conclusions based on deciding to trust media outlets that are just as dangerous, if not moreso, than the ones they decided to tune out from.
so basically like different style rightwing crazies?
precisely
"Lemmy" is just a bunch of protocols, what individuals use those protocols for should be irrelevant to the underlying protocols.
Bah, don't be a weiner. They sometimes have good points. Keyword is sometimes. It'd be a community disservice to remove their perspective from the mileau.
Whether I'm on Reddit or Lemmy, its just the same morons using different terms. You are the proof for that. Tribal mentality and bootlicking is ingrained into some
"Everywhere I go people spit at me. What's their problem? It can't be me, because I am perfect."
You assume I'm talking about communism or whatever bullshit you are thinking. Again, showing me how small minded and brainless you genuinely are. To spell it out for you and your echo chamber, it's culture bs, tankie vs woke, woke Vs maga, trans wars this and that of constant dehumanising and generalisation of the other of the most petty of possible things, in this case, what freaking instance you join on without realising every person has a full history and thought of mind. I'm not a "tankie" I'm not a "commie" I don't give a shit about any of these labels nor do I associate with them nor do everybody because not everybody thinks in small minded label obsessed ways. It's genuinely embarrassing that the brainrot our society has succumbed too
No, I just assumed you're an asshole and this reply proved it.
Yes, tankies are expert boot lickers.
Does Lemmy have a version of r/selfawarewolves yet?
for someone that says hes not a tankie or communist, the op sure has a large opinion about them. mirroring verbatim the same thing a right winger says on some political subs.
