    One of them sent me a private message:

    your grandfather was a nazi scumfuck that deserves to die

    Nice people.

    And my grandfather was not German, he lived in an actual communist country and hated it.

    Thank god. I’ve been annoyed by their toxic nonsense.

    This is like when the one insufferable dude at a party leaves on his own, and now the host doesn’t have to say something.

    FYI, these super wide screenshots of text make it difficult to read on small/narrow screens (anyone using lemmy on their phone?)

        Even if there is an option to zoom, it’s difficult because to read the text you have to scroll sideways in small steps for each line

    Everyone that disagrees with them is a Nazi yet they actively deny the ongoing genocide of Uyghers.

      really doesn’t take much.

      it’s so disheartening, like legitimately, how are these guys gonna cancel capitalism and destroy the west when they need to flee back to their safespace on the fucking internet.

        “Wh-what do you mean people are shitty to us when we’re shitty to them?? This is [insert irrelevant accusation of bigotry here]! Critical support for Comrade Xi’s Concentration Camps!”

        People who are so eager to dish it often can’t take it. Even in milder forms than the 4chan-esque trolling Hexbears use, like the horrible personal attack that is [checks notes] disputing that concentration camps are good.

              I read 20 mins ago someone from hexbear complaining that calling Xi Winnie is racist because Winnie is yellow and Xi Chinese. Meanwhile, the meme was born in china, from chinese people. The west just adopted the icon that China’s govenment banned in china, after its own citizens popularized it.

              SOOOoo it must be racist yeah /s

    Heh, good riddance. They’re SUPER fucking annoying, and I’ve seen pretty much zero examples of their userbase contributing in a meaningfully positive way to discussions on any instance, including their own.

      All I ever get from their instance are posts about them complaining about other instances complaining about them. Like damn, take a hint you guys.

      I have met about 3 normal reasonable people there, everyone else I’ve seen just barges in to every conversation and says meaningless annoying nonsense.

    I don’t know how someone posts something that aggressively asshole-ish and then doesn’t understand why everyone defederates them.

    It doesn’t kill to be at least slightly polite to people.

    Can we still follow through with defederating them? This is definitely a ploy so they can start back up whenever they want.

        Seems really fishy to me. TheDude defederated from Lemmygrad with zero community input, based on his own personal convictions. Now the admin team agrees to let in a rabid userbase of tankies, imaqtpie calls them a “valuable asset” in response to calls for defederation, and they actively get in the way of our attempts to organize a discussion/vote to defederate. Things feel different and not in a good way.

    So calling out tankies for their dictatorship support and defense of genocides made us the Nazis?

    Sure, Jan.

    Lol, I knew they’d run away like the buncha pussies they are. Glad they aren’t going to show up en mass anymore and derail threads with their bitching.
