    Don’t ignore your eyes, but also don’t be so damn pretentious. Show us what you are seeing.

    If I got through the trouble of digging them up for the nth time, what will it take for you to admit that I have a point? Give me a rough number of examples and what criteria you need to accept them as legitimate. I’ve crawled through this shite too many times only for commenters to backpedal and say “Well, that’s not upvoted enough/not in the right community/not enough examples” to go through it blind again.

    You’re generally honest in your arguments, at least insofar as we’ve interacted, but I really fucking despise wasting my time. So I do have to insist on you giving your criteria to accept the examples.

    Give me a rough number and criteria, and I will gladly hop over and drag out whichever you want, the ‘Sinophobia’ bans and/or the assorted tankie bullshite.

      Before I give any criteria, let’s discuss this:

      If you have dug them up N times, just paste them here? No? Just a whole dump of everything you got or an old comment would do.

      Your reply implies I would readily dismiss the evidence… is there any reason you believe that?

      You are wasting everyone else’s time by making claims you can’t back up. I am saying this as someone who hates any authoritarian regime and will do anything to avoid it becoming a reality. We both hate tankies.

      Seems like lots of people in the comment section are also talking about what their eyes are seeing and it contradicts your claim. So whose eyes shall we trust?

      From my limited and personal experience of the .ml instance, I don’t see any of this happening, just lots of tankie-boogyman rhetoric. But my observations are not enough to make a conclusion. And neither are yours. That’s why we need to back it up with evidence. Do you have any indication of any communities on .ml where the mods let this happen openly? If so, please link it.

        If you have dug them up N times, just paste them here? No?

        Yeah, if I had a better search option for my ~7000 comment long comment history, that might be viable.

        Your reply implies I would readily dismiss the evidence… is there any reason you believe that?

        Yes. Because people are generally stubborn and reluctant to admit that they’re wrong, or that their skepticism is wrong. And because I’ve done this song and dance numerous times before in which the person I was responded with 'No TRUE Scotsman’d their way into rejecting everything I gave them and demanding another dozen fucking examples.

        Seems like lots of people in the comment section are also talking about what their eyes are seeing and it contradicts your claim. So whose eyes shall we trust?

        Lots of people in this comment section are talking about the exact same thing - several people are discussing their personal experiences being banned or banned pre-emptively for going against tankie rhetoric. Are we reading the same fucking comment section?

        From my limited and personal experience of the .ml instance, I don’t see any of this happening, just lots of tankie-boogyman rhetoric. But my observations are not enough to make a conclusion.

          Thanks for the links. I will read them.

          But man, fuck that tone of yours, it sucks.

            Man, it takes ten fucking seconds of hitting ‘search: local’ to find out any of this shit, or listening to half the fucking commenters in this very thread. If you’re expecting an asspatting tone in that context, you’re out of fucking luck.

              As I said, your tone sucks ass.

              I am expecting a normal amount of decency. I understand it’s hard when you assume EVERYONE is up against you. I would drop that of I were you.

          So when you say .ml instances, you mean lemmygrad specifically? I am asking because my understanding is that .ml is just a domain extension.

          So are you thinking that tankies are using .ml as some kind of code? Or do you mean specific instances that happen to share the .ml domain extension?
