Mine happened when i first made a reddit account, i got banned from a subreddit with a tankie moderator because i questioned the logic of having lenin as the subreddits profile, for a subreddit devoted to anti conservative memes.

    @Zstom6IP Literally lemmy.ml, lol. I commented a post where a guy was simply not respecting their Rule 2 at all. Then I got into a series of replies until I got banned from there, lol.

    I tried my endeavour of making fun of them and further being apologetically about the genocidal regime of USA that loves to manufacture colour revolutions in countries to ensure their global hegemonic dictatorship, and to ensure using media, military, NED funded fake NGOs and funded terrorist groups around the world, that any country has trouble maintaining sovereignty for a couple of times more (yes, I literally copy-pasted the entire thing, sorry for wasting your time reading all this) until I got banned several times again.

    At that point, I realized that there’s nothing one can do. Tankies own that site. They can do everything they want, ban everyone they want for whatever reason while protecting their own and pretty much sitting in their own bubble, disconnected from the real world, where they can just troll everyone. And I just got tired and quit.

    Also, for a while before that I tried to somehow beat their propaganda bullshit and posting articles myself. After the first pro-Ukrainian interaction I had with these guys, they just started mindlessly downvoting everything I was posting (Yes, I know it was them. Here on Friendica you can see who has upvoted and downvoted you, but don’t tell anyone about that 😉), even though it was something unrelated with Ukraine, Russia or politics at all. At first, I blocked them, but somehow this had no results. They could still be commenting on my threads and whatnot, but I was just not receiving the comments. So I tried to post every more sensational news I would find in order to trigger them (this didn’t really yield the expected results - as we have a saying: don’t mess with the stupid one, as the stupid one has the mind at rest).

    So yea, trying to get into an argue with the entitled people at lemmy.ml is simply pointless. I can only enjoy they are not the majority of the Fediverse.

    As an end to all this: Before the Reddit migration, pretty much every community that I followed on Reddit was only on lemmy.ml. Or most active there. Beehaw was the only instance in this place that was relatively more active. Others were pretty much vacant. I am glad more people migrated to Lemmy and opened more instances. This has really become a sane replacement for Reddit (along with Kbin), nowadays!
