The last few posts made here, they've shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They're a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

Regarding the edit, what is their instance actually about, what are their leanings? I haven't been to visit, and don't really want to.

They're anti nato communists and some socialists. I took a geez at their "why does everyone hate our instance thread" and it seems that in their words, since they have been on the platform for 3 years they have a strong instance culture. They are used to fighting and battling trolls so when they see something they don't like they swarm on it and argue aggressively.

From my opinion its a political community that focuses on pushing extreme left wing views. They are anti western, anti capitalism and anti racism and bigotry. I laughed because one of the reasons they keep giving for being hated is because "they're always right".

Being anti NATO, I suspect they're also on Russia's side regarding Ukraine? Yeah, fuck em.

They LOVE Putin and the CCP. They'll dogpile anyone who disagrees.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 year ago

Euww. Yeah, they can fuck right off.

They're authoritarians. The communist stuff is just an excuse to worship authoritarian regimes like the CCP.

Tankies. They are pro authoritarian communist or socialist regimes like China and USSR, and anti western liberal capitalist democracies like US and NZ.

They got banned from Reddit and moved to an isolated Lemmy instance long before the rest of Lemmy got big, but decided to experiment with federation fairly recently.

The only person in this thread that's not engaging in good faith and trying to cause trouble is you.

So what's with the attitude in your other comment? Clearly these people have no plans to engage in good faith.
