    I blocked ML, then blocked Trump and Elon as keywords.

    I don’t see this behaviour much anymore.

    Someone took the time to make this comic. Don’t be that person. You’re better than that and should enjoy much more enriching things than exhausting your energy into the black hole that goes no where, but you’ve been socially led to think is somehow important and noticed.

    Step 1. Start blocking the tribe’s.camp sites.

      That’s really just sticking your head in the sand, in a way “pulling up the ladder behind you” in regards to new users. I’m not saying Lemmy needs to grow at an explosive rate, but we should still have healthy growth. And the Tankie Triad is against and sometimes straight up hostile to new users who aren’t tankies

        I think it depends on what you’re saying and how you say it. I’m by no means a tankie but definitely really left leaning, as I learn more i’d probably even say leftist (I just can’t get behind the idea of a dictatorship of the proletariat even if I understand the reasoning) but I comment literally everywhere and have never had an issue with hexbear, .ml, or anything.

        I think it’s more of a “know your audience” thing. I don’t go into a hexbear conversation firing off about “China bad” or whatever, I just say what I wanted that was relevant to their post.

        And for those of them that wish to reach “the liberal” they should consider the same. If the point is communication then they should try to limit the name calling and anger, even though they have the understanding that “we” enable a system and in a lot of cases support a system that they see as committing some of the worst atrocities in history. Communication should be the goal, not the self serving attack that just makes them feel better (or “us.”)
