🎼 'Cause I'm proud to be an American 🎵🎶🇺🇲🦅
I meant Lemmygrad, but the admin came to the thread and said "fuck you, I want to boost my numbers up, the tankies are staying" so it doesn't actually matter. 🤷
Yeah, I am pretty sure the All feed is intended to show content from a variety of instances, not to be dominated by a few shitty ones.
That shows how badly they need to travel. There's a literal epic fuckton of cool things you can find across the country. I traveled cross-country a few years ago and I saw lots, things you wouldn't even necessarily find in books. 🤔 Things that really need to be in books, come to think of it...
We ought to fork Lemmy and include features it's badly missing, like the ability for users to block whole instances, and to better enable admins to block brigadeers and spammers who make alts.
They don't get that what repulses people is them, because other people know what they're peddling is a pack of obvious lies.
Like, who the fuck honestly thinks the Tianamen Square massacre didn't happen? We have pictures EVERYWHERE. Motherfuckers in China who saw it or had relatives killed are still alive.
Next they're gonna argue the fucking Holodomors weren't real or not actually genocides.
🤦🤦🤦 I tripped and fell down a rabbit hole of abject scumfuckery the past 24 hours. Someone help me up.
Also hi, I'm the one who found that thread and bitched up a storm about it on lemm.ee yesterday, how's it going? Glad for the invite. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed it, either
I could go on for days on how unconscionably fucked up it is for them to deny the Holodomors (fun fact: there were actually 2 of them).
What was that guy even mad about?
🤔 How about redfash? Associate them with something they hate and is universally hated?
Tanktards also works. Exploit their weird hypocrisy with name-calling.
What derogatory term should we use then?
Probably best to not try to scrape the bottom of the barrel when defending authoritarians pushing lies and propaganda. Like, if you're going to go for a red herring, you could at least tone police me; that would at least be more plausible and less petty. Step your game up
That's exactly what they've been doing. Their Tianamen Square propaganda showed up on my All feed which is how I know about it to begin with. We're all being inundated with their garbage and we did not come to this instance to be flooded with propaganda and garbage.
I'm arguing with their shitty alt accounts here because they tried to mass downvote the thread and astroturf and gang up on me, because they don't want efforts to defederate them to gain traction, but guess what? It didn't work. Because they're little bitches who thought they could scare me away, and it did not work, because I am an asshole. 😉
You're here blatantly fucking lying to our faces thinking you can discredit me and protect those hopeless retards, proving my point. Tankies don't belong here. If you love them so damn much, go sign up for Lemmygrad.
I actually haven't really debated them and this isn't the first time I've seen them invade an instance. I want them gone because they are spreading blatant propaganda and that should not be allowed on any instance worth its salt
Point in fact, I came here to lemm.ee specifically because it was defederated from them, but now I see the past few days that they've been let on again and are now invading threads with pro-CCP astroturfing and inundating the All feed with their propaganda and garbage like they always do. And that shouldn't be allowed.
How do you foresee tankies poisoning the whole fediverse?
Because I've been watching what has been going on. Instances, big ones, that were previously hard-nosed about being defederated from them have mysteriously let them on their instances again, including this one. I signed up for this instance specifically BECAUSE it banned them, and then all of a sudden, for the past few days, my All feed is inundated with their crap.
That is shady, sus, and wrong. A lot of people came here specifically to get away from tankies and their garbage, and now we're expected to put up with it because the admins refuse to act and even let them back on? Explain to me how money, blackmail, intimidation, manipulation or abject retardation isn't involved in that?
Or how it won't happen to other instances once those cretins get a foothold in a big enough percentage of the fediverse?
It doesn’t even seem like they are trying to make a case, they are just bluntly stating misinformation. If we are going to remove all misinformation then we are going to need paid admins because even at the current scale its a full time job.
The admin already accepts donations so he has no excuse.
I see blatant misinformation everywhere on the fediverse already and only a tiny percentage is tankie related.
You can thank the alt-right dipshits at .world for that, and that's why I speak out now: unless admins' feet are held to the fire and they're held accountable for not protecting their users, it'll keep getting worse. The admins made an instance they want us to use and accept donations to keep it running. Therefore they have a responsibility toward us they're not meeting, and it results in dangerous shit like propaganda claiming the Tianamen Square massacre did not happen to run freely when it should not. That is crazy and you know it
bad economic policies
Who cares about China anyway?
Yea the person claiming Biden has bad economic policies wants to ignore the second largest economy in the world… 😂
Well lookie motherfucking loo here boys, the proof is in the pudding.
You all are really butthurt that no one else wants you around that you gang up on anyone who complains, resorting to cheap personal attacks and tone policing, thinking you're going to pretend to be an onlooker when in reality you're just some dipshit tankie acting in bad faith hoping to astroturf.
THIS is why you scumbags don't belong here. THIS is why the admins need to take responsibility and defederate from your asses, so we can have meaningful conversations in good faith without them being inundated by your ilk so you can feel like you're in control of something.
Tankies DO NOT belong here and they need to be defederated from this instance before they do worse.
I am asking the admins to defederate from them but good job not even reading the thread and showing your priorities are all out of whack.
We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general
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? 🤔
Cops really hate policing protests that target police. But that has been the reality since Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin ripped the bandage off an unhealed wound by placing his knee on t…

WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – A former Warner Robins Police Chief is facing child sexual abuse charges in Houston County. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested 79-year-old George Johnson, of Warner Robins on Thursday. On Wednesday, July 26th, GBI agents secured arrest warrants for Johnson for the following offenses:
undefined
- Sodomy
- Sexual Exploitation of a Child
Monday, July 17, 2023, the Houston County Sheriff’s Office requested the GBI’s assistance following a complaint filed with the Houston County Sheriff’s Office. The complaint involved allegations that Johnson abused a teenage female victim. A preliminary investigation indicates the incidents happened in Houston County and Pulaski County since 2022. Both Houston Sheriff Cullen Talton and Pulaski County Sheriff Danny Brannen requested the GBI conduct the investigation since the incidents involved two different judicial circuits.

Nazi symbolism and child pornography found in German police chats | Voice of Europe
The German prosecutor’s office found messages of illegal content, including Nazi symbolism, in chats involving five officers from three different police districts. These violations were uncovered during investigations in the North Rhine-Westphalia region.
According to Annet Milk, the lead prosecutor in the investigation, these five individuals, aged 22 and 25, are suspected of exchanging Nazi symbolism in chats and possessing child pornography during their training. Three of the accused belong to the police department in Recklinghausen and one each to the police departments in Kleve and Borken.
Milk stated that the chats were discovered during an investigation involving a sixth suspect. The prosecutor’s office has charged a former police officer with exchanging far-right extremist symbolism in chats and with possession and distribution of child pornography. He had worked at the police headquarters for some time after completing his training.
Searches were conducted at the homes of t

Flight controllers accidentally sent a wrong command nearly two weeks ago that tilted the spacecraft's antenna away from Earth and severed contact.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — After days of silence, NASA has heard from Voyager 2 in interstellar space billions of miles away.
Flight controllers accidentally sent a wrong command nearly two weeks ago that tilted the spacecraft’s antenna away from Earth and severed contact.
NASA’s Deep Space Network, giant radio antennas across the globe, picked up a “heartbeat signal,” meaning the 46-year-old craft is alive and operating, project manager Suzanne Dodd said in an email Tuesday.
The news “buoyed our spirits,” Dodd said. Flight controllers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California will now try to turn Voyager 2’s antenna back toward Earth.
If the command doesn’t work — and controllers doubt it will — they’ll have to wait until October for an automatic spacecraft reset. The antenna is only 2% off-kilter.
“That is a long time to wait, so we’ll try sending up commands several times” before then, Dodd said.

Naturalists decry extinction of species as loss of habitat, poaching and illegal hunting take toll
For centuries, wolves have roamed the mountain ranges of Andalucía in southern Spain, but after years of decline the creature has been officially declared extinct in the region.
Since 2003, the regional government has carried out a census of the wolf (Canis lupus signatus) population in an effort to monitor the species and reduce conflict with the local population, farmers in particular.
However, in a report, the Andalucian government’s environment department says that “since 2020 there has been no sign of the wolf being present in Andalucía”, in spite of it being a protected species.
Up until at least 2010 it was estimated there were six to eight wolfpacks in the region, mostly in the Sierra Morena, comprising up to 56 individuals.
Despite the wolf being declared extinct only now, experts say there has not been any evidence of wolves in Andalucía since 2013, and probably no reproductive group since 2003.
“This is bad news and it confirms the negative trend for the few existing wo
