it’s just strange that you don’t think this is representative of tankies. i mean we have hundreds of posts of all different examples of all sorts of different users, even prominent tankies and their admins too.
And I’m saying you could find examples of people being nuts and having shitty opinions in every comment section, regardless of the instance. I see every instance from .today. I mean, if we’re going by upvotes my comments in the same section had 52, 49, and 35 upvotes. This one had 111. By your metric, that would be more representative of the community, right?
We could go and find all the most upvoted comments of every section screenshotted on .ml and post those instead, see what we find.
I’ve been directed to this community many time when asking what, exactly, is so bad about .ml, .grad and hexbear. I can only conclude that you agree it’s okay to attack users by calling them fascist bootlickers without evidence, deliberately misconstrue context, and encourage brigading through posts like these.
I don’t see anything relevant to my comment in the sidebar, so I implore you to read it again.
Too ugly to add to the rules and annoying to go through. There’s also an important distinction: Tankie instances don’t allow downvotes, which is why I note the vote count. If it were on world or any other instance that allows downvotes, I wouldn’t make that argument.

You don’t take issue with hate speech, conspiracy theories and apologia/revisionism?
Absolutely. This isn’t it. Can you not answer a question?
This thread isn’t that, no. But there are examples across this community of such content
Which brings me back to my questions:
Is it okay to call other users fascist bootlickers without evidence that they’re engaging in fascist or bootlicking behavior?
And
If upvotes represent the vibe of a community, why not have a rule to post the most upvoted comments to represent them more accurately?
And
Do these instances engage in bad behavior moreso than other instances on the fediverse?
No, I don’t think so.

Yes
