  • You can say fuck on the internet.

    Yes, but you're not being judged just because you used it but how

    You absolutely should call Tankie scum at every opportunity.

    No, you shouldn't, "Tankie" by itself targets their ideology and their actions (Pushing misinfo, propaganda etc) by adding "scum" into it or other slurs you shift that target from ideologies and behavior to the actual person. Not cool. For the most part, they're just people being used as tools by the real evil people pulling the strings.

    Tankies don't use logic, trying to reason with those intolerants is just turtles all the way down.

    That's fine, remember, your arguments are public so aren't just about convincing a tankie, but any potential observers as well

    Anybody who wants to foster healthy community on Lemmy should promote open hostility towards Tankies

    No. Absolutely not. They can have their community, we should be promoting defederation, boycotting and general awareness.

    You know I'm pretty anti-tankie around here, and even I'm saying, chill out open hostility does nothing but anger everyone.

  • YDI. The other comments probably just got swept up in it, it happens, but that first that triggered mod action is def over the line

    There's no need to get angry like that, or at least type it out, fight the tankies with logic, reasoning and evidence not a bunch of expletives and slurs

  • Place to post videos to share on Lemmy?

  • You'd think, but from what I understand the Invidious/YT cat and mouse game is rather intense so the larger public instances often don't work and it's better to use smaller private or personal instances instead

    So most who care have opted to just set something up to handle YT links on the fly

  • Idk, I don't keep track of it I just click the links lemming give me lmao

    I do think the last one I tried was peertube.wtf a couple days ago

  • Videos without audio? Imgur can handle mp4s and imgur links autoplay in the Lemmy apps ive used (Boost and Voyager)

    Videos with audio, well really YT is the best place, pretty much anybody who cares about YT tracking/ads/views will have processes/plugins in place to handle YT links. Like there are plugins that will automatically modify a YT link to a designated invidious instance or whatever

    If you really really don't want to upload to YT, a Peertube instance is your best bet, unfortunately just don't expect it to be particularly...fast. Every Peertube video I've tried to watch buffered every 10-30 seconds, but I don't blame them, video is very intense, expensive and difficult to handle compared to every other media type

  • think the biggest instance, lemmy.world, not being operated by the Lemmy devs is also a good health indicator

    Doubly so considering how the main devs manage their instance according to their highly controversial political views LMAO

  • You would warn newcomers about the Tankie Triad too if you had repeatedly seen all the stories of "I tried Lemmy, but it just seemed like a bunch of tankies, turns out it was just because I was on .ml when I tried it again"

    There's tons more that never came back and go on life thinking Lemmy is Voat 2.0. I know this because there's plenty of comments on Reddit whenever Lemmy comes up about "it's just Tankies over there"

    Yes, how dare I try to protect Lemmy's rep, I don't want to see this place become Voat 2.0

  • It's not a straight deal breaker for me, but it's a pretty big barrier, I just can't leave Boost lol 😔

  • Sounds like it's coming along

    Heh I'm finding out so much about how inadequate the blocking system on Lemmy is the past couple days. I'm not a conspiracy theorist type of person, but it's so bad it almost feels... intentional lol

  • Welcome happy you're here! We've got memes on deck at !memes@lemmy.world and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful !science_memes@mander.xyz or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like !science@mander.xyz and !astronomy@mander.xyz. !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.

    We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a Reddit.org account so iirc you only need to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

  • It wasn't my intent to criticize Piefed either, just trying to not over sell it to new users, I'd rather not them be thinking it's a perfect drop-in replacement, and then have a sour taste in their mouth when they run into an issue

  • Yes and no, this topic comes up fairly frequently, and generally...nobody knows the best solution forward LMAO

    piefed.social is a Lemmy "competitor" and is intended to be fully interoperable, but in practice it hasn't matured yet and it's interoperability with the Lemmy-verse is decent but has its quirks

    But a big thing there is they have a multi sub type feature to combine comms like that

    But some people also like the multiple comms, because they can have different viewpoints and culture.

    Like lemmy.ml is a huge Tankie instance and their c/memes comms moderation skew towards censoring of comments and posts critical of Russia/China/NK and allows political memes

    Where as c/meme on .world have banished most political memes directing them to !politicalmemes@lemmy.world instead
