I’ve been directed to this community many time when asking what, exactly, is so bad about .ml, .grad and hexbear. I can only conclude that you agree it’s okay to attack users by calling them fascist bootlickers without evidence, deliberately misconstrue context, and encourage brigading through posts like these.
I don’t see anything relevant to my comment in the sidebar, so I implore you to read it again.
Too ugly to add to the rules and annoying to go through. There’s also an important distinction: Tankie instances don’t allow downvotes, which is why I note the vote count. If it were on world or any other instance that allows downvotes, I wouldn’t make that argument.
You’re a mod, making and enforcing rules to protect a broader community should be the bare minimum. Which instances don’t allow downvotes? I have downvoted .ml content on my .ml account and this one, and you can definitely see those downvotes. Sounds like you made that up.
Either use the upvotes as a metric or admit the screenshots don’t represent the broader community. You’re waffling back and forth on this one.
Hard disagree. You made an echo chamber for all your bad faith arguments.
Why should I stop users from attacking others? Tankies do it all the time in their spaces, but you’re not advocating for them to stop, you’re in no position to call me bad faith until you do.
Hexbear. If you don’t know what instance is what, you shouldn’t be arguing any of this.
This isn’t an echo chamber either, Tankies are even given special privileges that other users don’t get. You can even check modlog to verify this.
Tell you what: if you’re honest and in good faith, go make an account, post in Hexbear’s /c/slop, and tell them to stop making fun of people and using blanket statements.

You don’t take issue with hate speech, conspiracy theories and apologia/revisionism?
Absolutely. This isn’t it. Can you not answer a question?
This thread isn’t that, no. But there are examples across this community of such content
Which brings me back to my questions:
Is it okay to call other users fascist bootlickers without evidence that they’re engaging in fascist or bootlicking behavior?
And
If upvotes represent the vibe of a community, why not have a rule to post the most upvoted comments to represent them more accurately?
And
Do these instances engage in bad behavior moreso than other instances on the fediverse?
No, I don’t think so.
Too ugly to add to the rules and annoying to go through. There’s also an important distinction: Tankie instances don’t allow downvotes, which is why I note the vote count. If it were on world or any other instance that allows downvotes, I wouldn’t make that argument.
Yes
So maybe mod posts that attack other users?
