A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Am missing something about my chosen-on-a-whim instance?

It’s the instance run by the main Lemmy devs that happen to also be tankies. Read the modlog sometime, I’ve had some (imo) benign things removed from communities on there

What is a "tankie"? I've never heard of that before.

Leftists that praise and defend authoritarian communism and oddly enough oftentimes anything right wing too if it happens to be aligned against the west like Russia.
