And if something did maybe happen, it's the CIA's fault
I wonder if there are comments here that I've blocked

MODERATORS
I don't know if this is the case for other apps or anything, but on Jerboa I end up seeing blank posts (like a post but without any user or instance attributed to it) that just say "there is no record of this comment" whenever it's someone I've blocked.
That is hilariously in-line with the joke at play
there is 1 user you have blocked.
you have not blocked any users.
Ssst! Don't tell them it's all just a joke, a trope even. Some people take this stuff very seriously.
I use these posts to tag people, so I can disregard and ridicule them in different posts.
It was a relief when I started tagging them since I realised it's just a small handful of people that are usually all over the comments so it looks like there's way more of them.
You can always rely on alcoholicorn to show up and say something stupid, for example. Ever since I tagged them I've seen them everywhere, always heavily downvoted for coming up with inane nonsense.

Hexbear will flood this post if they find it
Hexbear
Post on .world
...
They have alts on lemmy.ml.
Then that would be .ml users. Semantics yes, but considering that .world never federated with Hexbear, I feel it relevant for accurately describing things.
hexbear.net is known for discussion of what goes on in the rest of the Fediverse (I went and found a recent example to show you: https://hexbear.net/post/3645205). Whereupin people with accounts that are able to often brigade places that if we take the narrowest view of who "hexbear" users are, they would not have access to. It just goes with the territory of (a) being passionate about a subject, along with (b) caring not in the slightest bit about the consent of the recipients.
I myself have multiple alts, and went to some trouble to ensure that it is barely recognizable which I am using (identical name and icon). I started on Kbin, and before it went defunct it got slower and slower so I switched to StarTrek, but it got slow for a bit too so now I made my final home on Discuss.Online. And when possible I will love to try out Sublinks, and probably I'll try Piefed too then.
If someone switches from their hexbear.net account, where they heard about this post, to their Lemmy.ml one for the express purpose to downvoting and trolling this post with their "commentary", I would call those hexbear users. If you read hexbear posts, it won't be all that long before you find people not only admitting but being outright proud of doing precisely that. Here's a very tame one to get you started: https://hexbear.net/post/272530, here's another: https://hexbear.net/post/277508, and another: https://hexbear.net/post/280770, and there are links from there and available by searching.
That's a fair way to look at it, yeah. I blocked the instance a whole back after being the target of the dunking culture and classification of statements like "peoples historically oppressed by a country can be reasonably expected to turn to terrible geopolitical powers, if faced with existential threat from said historical oppressors without other recourse" labeled as "fascist apologia" (referring to the USSR's invasion of Finland, a country that was occupied and used as a battleground and colony by Sweden or Russia for centuries, leaving them with few options but the nazis to try to maintain a semblance of independence that they had previously won from the Russian Empire). If one can't examine the mistakes of the past, they aren't serious about trying to avoid them in the future and I ain't got time for that shit.
There are lots of REAL leftists here on Lemmy. I haven't researched enough to even know if I am truly one, but anyway it's obvious that they are children (of whatever physical age) merely playing at philosophical and political concepts.
They constantly claim to be the victim, citing how "unfairly" they are treated, always conveniently ignoring that it's not their political beliefs that turn people away, but their abusive toxicity. Using tactics such as controlling the conversation, which apparently works on their instance, but can't hold a candle when talking with a real adult.
However, since anyone who even so much as politely asks (if not sufficiently obsequiously enough) the wrong sort of questions there are promptly removed, the ones who remain are absolutely convinced in the rightness of their cause, seeing nothing first-hand to counter such a claim. Echo chambers can really be dangerous.
Hexbear users are just like Maga conservatives, only on the other side of the spectrum - or at least claiming to be.
Lemmy.ml users on the other hand, are a much more eclectic bunch. Some are great to talk to, though conversely whenever I receive the most batshit insane replies, even after blocking Lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net sth like 99% of the time it is a user from lemmy.ml. I find it highly relevant that a LOT of hexbear users went over to Lemmy.ml when Lemmy.world defederated from the former. So after resisting for a long time and even arguing with others against doing it, I finally relented and just blocked Lemmy.ml too. I find my sanity greatly improved as a result:-).
They even explicitly stated in one of their old federation threads that their sole purpose in federating with other instances is to "dunk" on anyone they disagree with and send brigades. This has been a longstanding problem with them, nothing they do outside of their instance is in good faith.
Multiple of those links say that yeah. And the one where the admins took the vote, then ignored it and did the opposite of what the community asked. They are so toxic that they've even run off their own developers (I'm not sure if that really meant admin, but seeing as how iirc hexbear predates Lemmy it does make sense as actual developer too).
Some hexbears have left hexbear bc they were kicked out - too toxic for them even - but also some were not toxic enough, as in even they could no longer stand it there.
The only thing we absolutely must be intolerant of is intolerance.

The spirit of hexbear will flood this post if they find it
try posting it on grad, they'll love it
Or ml. Or Hexbear.
Why can't we have a leftist instance that doesn't suck CCP dick?
most communities on ml are fine tho, also I got banned on hexbear because I called the CPC (their official name) CCP
The admins are tankies. It's just better to avoid it. The smaller their communities the more of a joke it is getting banned for writing a fact.
I don’t have a problem with any of the communities but I regularly catch the instance ban hammer for asinine reasons.
yeah, I mean you're kinda right
Genuinely there are a lot of people that would like that. Maybe start with a community first before an entire instance.
From what I know, dbzer0 is libertarian left and therefore not tankie
If I had to choose between a libertarian and a tankie I'd shoot myself with a rusty spork.
Maybe I should have said "anarchist left". The term "Libertarian" is overtaken by the Right by now
Libertarian left is very different from "libertarian"

Blåhaj is here! I don't recall seeing a tankie with a blåhaj account, and also we have personalities outside of politics.

Why are people so laser-focused on this one event that happened over three decades ago?
Because there is a real effort by a government to prevent people millions of people from remembering.
Are you for real? Should we forget the people that are silenced in this world?

Are people in China or on Chinese social media allowed to talk about it today?

I don't know anyone who is laser focused. But anyway, do you think important historical events exist? If so, what are your top ten of the last half century?
