TO THE ADMINS: Read this thread and give me one good reason why federating with toxic, propaganda spreading tankie loons is a good idea.
No one wants those fucks, or the alt right dipshits for that matter, around, and they’re spreading blatant lies, yet I see they are here. Does lemm.ee only care about boosting its numbers and is willing to sink to new lows to do it, I wonder? 🤔

Modern day tankies are indistinguishable from fascists since they shill for fascist shitholes like Russia and China. I don’t care about intent, everyone can lie about it. You can’t lie about outcomes.
This is my problem. I support communist and socialist eonomic ideals and reforms, all these tankies claiming China or worse Russia are somehow actually communist hurts the cause. They’re basically fascist nationalists claiming to be communist. It’s infuriating…
No communist thinks modern day Russia is communist. Your being disingenuous and I bet you would rather allow liberal fascism on her than socialist views you disagree with. Typical liberal censoring communism because it challenges uour brainwashed reality.
Yup, totally. No way there’s literally pro Russia articles regularly posted in the communist communities. I just imagined that. I agree no real communist is pro Russia. That’s why I have a fucking problem with it.
I don’t have an issue with people having different views, but I had to block a ton of that shit due to the blatant propaganda. I have to think it’s filled with Chinese bots at this point. Saying the Tianamen square massacre didn’t happen is akin to Holocaust denial. It’s insane blatant shilling.

Your argument makes absolutely no sense. “Don’t defederate because you disagree with their views” when it comes to left-wing/communist extremists, yet you turn around and complain about places with right-wing/fascist extremist places existing. As others have said, doesn’t matter what “side” they’re on, violent extremists are cut from the same cloth in that way. Personally, I’m with the admins here, in that I don’t mind being federated with either of them so long as they play by the rules here. But then again, I tend to stick to my own interests and set my default view to Subscribed, and don’t venture into the All feed much. Even then, I haven’t really noticed what people are complaining about very much. If people here are smart enough to know real misinformation when they see it, they can just scroll on and ignore it.
