While I have my run ins with tankies sometimes, I actually don’t think it’s that bad. Join an instance that blocks lemmygrad and hexbear, ignore lemmy.ml or block it too and you’re golden.
That’s the power of fediverse, it’s flexibility.
Also tankies have a strong foothold on Lemmy, because they were here first. But they are not as numerous as you or they themself think. Watch them outside of their safespace communities and see them downvoted into oblivion.
Some time ago some Tankie on worldnews.ml called South Korea „occupied“. After I asked about it I was banned, lol.
(Well my comments in the thread were arbitrary deleted and I couldn’t post anymore.)
That’s actually something I think about quite often recently. People 150 years ago didn’t have electricity at all, what did they do?
First the things that would be really helpful if already built into your home: It helps if you have a gas or wooden stove to cook meals. Same with heating, a masonry stove for example could really make a difference.
Stuff that’s good to have is a small camping gas stove, some LED lanterns, tons of batteries and candles. Powerbanks to charge your mobile phones, maybe a few solar cells on the roof with some batteries connected to it. Maybe even a small emergency power generator. Don’t forget the fuel for it.
What you can do: Go for a hike. Read books, play boardgames and cards. Do puzzles. Write! Get a notebook and a pen ( I recommend actually fountain pens) and do some journaling. Write about your day, your dreams or your concerns. Make a list what parts of the world you want to visit before you die or anything else you can think about. Learn to draw or to paint. Maybe it’s time to put up the guitar that’s gathering dust in the corner.
Something like that. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
His left hand (to the viewers right) looks a bit weird…
I think I am getting paranoid.
Robin has some cake! 😳

By the way, there are also book communities here on Lemmy. Check out
Wirklich lesenswert! Man sollte sich allerdings etwas Zeit nehmen dafür, das ist kein kurzer Text. Also eher in einer ruhigen Minute daheim auf dem Sofa als so zwischen Tür und Schwelle.
Yes! Brother, we might be few but we are here. Fuck Wintertime, summertime all along.
Naja, der 1. Atomausstieg zum Beispiel. Oder diese Idee der FDP jedes Quartal beim Arzt eine Gebühr zahlen zu müssen.
Ja, genau und die nächste Regierung macht dann alles wieder rückgängig nachdem sie aktiv Wahlkampf gegen dieses unpopuläre Thema gemacht hat.
Sorry, ich will nicht sagen dass das eine schlecht Idee ist, nur eben nicht so einfach.
Genau. Weil ja keiner gekifft hat, bevor Gras legalisiert wurde. Ich denke schon dass deine Idee was für sich hat, aber: Du bist jetzt Bundeskanzler. Du setzt jetzt diese Plane um. Was glaubst du was passiert? Brauereien wegen Zeder und Mordio schreien. Politiker werden von Zerstörung deutscher Traditionen und Kultur sprechen. Wörter wie Verbotspartei und gängelung werden die Runde machen. Zeitungen und soziale Medien werden sich überschlagen. Das ganze wird sehr schwer durchzubringen sein und an politischen selbstmord grenzen.
Es ist sehr schwer die Bevölkerung mit verboten und erlassen erziehen zu wollen.
Btw, warum kann ich diesen Faden manche Kommentare nicht lesen?
Stimmt, könnten wir machen. Für wie realistisch und wirkungsvoll hältst du das?
Ohne die fatale Wirkung von Alkohol runterspielen zu wollen: Du befürwortest also Prohibition? Wie willst du das konkret durchführen und durchsetzen?
Yes, and sad. Eastern Germany is really beautiful, it could be such a nice part of the country.
Funny. I encountered exact the same thing a few hours ago in post where somebody called South Korea occupied.
Of course I was first downvoted and then banned after I was pointing out some things. They really don’t like the word „tankie“ on Lemmy.ml…
I don’t mind being banned, I wear it as a badge of honour. But they are cowards and hypocrites, which is rather sad.
Well the topic was about North Korea. Then you basically said „What about ISRAEL???“
No, not really. When I first encountered you guys, I was disappointed. Now I’m actually mocking you a bit.
Yes, absolutely! The ability to do that immensely valuable.
I actually don’t like to use it too much, because I like to see whats going on and don’t want to lock myself into a bubble.
But my instance is thankfully defederated from lemmygrad and hexbear and I think about blocking .ml too. I think nothing of worse will be lost.
