Modlog, which includes a site ban—something only admins can do.

The community bans also include communities that aren’t moderated by any instance admins, and some that are only moderated by a single person who likely isn’t aware of actions taken under their community’s name.

    Tankies want to talk a bunch of big shit. Then when you shut them down with a single comment they cry like babies and run for the mod buttons.

  • The community bans also include communities that aren’t moderated by any instance admins, and some that are only moderated by a single person who likely isn’t aware of actions taken under their community’s name.

    FYI, any site bans will also automatically generate community bans for all local communities that user has ever interacted with.
    It’s simply the current behavior for site bans and not an admin going through communities to ban that user.
    That doesn’t mean the site ban is legitimate, just that the community-bans are inherent to any site-bans.

      Honestly it’s not really a good way of doing it in my opinion, seems like it could potentially spam a lot of ban messages if a user interacted with a lot of communities. Would be better if they worked on federating site bans with every community, and also federating the message in the global modlog instead of mod banned user do mod banned user from lemmy.domain.tld or whatever the instance domain is. That way information is still communicated and you don’t get problems with them being able to interact in communities on a server they were banned from. All while not spamming the modlog.

          I’m hoping they implement federation of site bans, I’ve seen a lot of people banned from the site the community is hosted on still replying and pushing their disgusting rhetoric in comments of posts and it still continues to be federated because they don’t get blocked from those communities from a site ban.

          • Home bans federate everywhere.
            Remote bans don’t, which makes sense, because otherwise lemmygrad could ban your sjw account which makes no sense.
            That’s kinda how they go to the workaround of banning from every community in that instance.
            But then .world is still running an old version that doesn’t do that anyway

      It’s so quick and easy when you start at the authoritarianism part already

    So does anyone know good leftist instances that aren’t predominantly cantankerous tankies? Besides slrpnk, those guys seem cool.

      Slrpnk thinks that the only way forward is communism. I’d side step them too.

        It’s my impression of solarpunk, as a general movement moreso than slrpnk specifically, is that the focus is more on local community mutualism than Soviet style central planning. I also think the only way forward is communism, I just think there are many intermediate steps necessary to get to stable communism on a national scale. Strong unions to worker co-ops to market socialism, and so on.

        My main ideological gripe with the tankie instances is the impatient insistence on skipping all those steps that build informed consent through a gradual raising of class consciousness in the proletariat, and going straight to a national scale revolution.

    They seem to be banning anything anti Russia just based on your modlog, buy you also have a hard time following their rule2: be nice. So I can kinda see where they are comming from as well.

      Tbf, “Rule” 2 has an unwritten clause at the end, it’s actually “Be nice, unless you’re a tankie shill then you have the power of the mods/admins enabling you being a giant fistula to liberals anyone who disagrees with you in any thread.”

    This was not a common item in 1996 Russia, I think. In the 1990s, TV-based games weren’t catching on in the East nearly as much because it was too difficult to create SECAM color video as opposed to NTSC or PAL. (This is part of why most of the East calls them “computer games”, along with the rarity of non-computer consoles à la Pong or Magnavox Odyssey. The only ones I know to have been called “video games” were imported arcade cabinets in trailers that would travel from town to town. Known as “videoherna” (video game room) in Czech, they were rare and loved by “weirdos”. I imagine they were quite lucrative for the handful of people skilled at smuggling and repairing monitors without original parts.) Lucky kids would play on IBM-compatible PCs or Game Boys, less lucky ones on Atari 8-bit computers, ZX Spectrum clones or this:

    This game is Nu pogodi from the Elektronika IM series, a legendary toy in the Eastern Bloc. Manufactured in 1986-1993, it used a chip design stolen from the 1981 Game & Watch Egg game. They didn’t even update the clock to 24 hours, the preferred format in Eastern countries.

    In the US, the state will find you for illegally copying Nintendo games.
    In Soviet Russia, you’ll find that the state has been illegally copying Nintendo games all along!

      I’m really glad that the digital video era ended the standard fragmentation around the world.
