As time passes I become increasingly convinced that dbzer0 is a tankie instance. I wonder if I’ll receive any notification that My posts are removed if these people remove them. We don’t federate .ml
Not that I’m a hugely active community member, but I haven’t noticed a lot of tanks around. Certainly more left unity than other instances, but we do have a vote to defed from hexbear every three months it seems like.
Db0 is federated with Hexbear? The owner of Blahaj tried to stay federated with them due to the large trans community there but eventually had to put it to a vote and defederated because their users were harassing and brigading Blahaj users on our own instance for not being “socialist” enough. Then Hexbear played the victim card after the fact and claimed that it was Blahaj users who were harassing their trans community.
I haven’t witnessed any direct brigading, but I can always tell when a post or comment is from them. I like seeing radically different ideas and opinions on occasion, but it would be a lot less irritating if they would drop the “it’s not my job to educate you” stance. The majority of responses to elaboration are just name calling.
Honestly, that whole aspect seems pretty antithetic to communism.
Anytime I’ve seen anything from there, it’s always been abrasive at best and outright aggressive or hostile at worst. I’ve started likening it to the leftist 4chan of Lemmy.
Sometimes I wonder if they’re an ancap psyop to make leftists as a whole look bad.
They are not rational people engaging in good-faith discussions. They even use some of the same lingo as alt-right cesspools (“shitlib,” “glowie,” etc.)
