      Lemmy federation has been my first exposure to tankies and holy shit. They are so horny for Russian violence, Russian invasions, Russian imperialism. And somehow none of it is ever Russia’s choice, Russia has no accountability or autonomy, it always the fault of “the West”.

      It’s like a weird nationalistic narcissism.

        They’re still responding to me on there. i’ve taken to replying via DM

        " Hi, you’re getting this message because you replied to one of my messages on !GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml.

        Your nanny mods community banned me. Enjoy your bubble of delusion "

        Edit: Apparently i’m banned from lemmygrad.ml as a whole too now (what a tragic shame). Someone claiming to be an admin over there conveyed the above message. minus the “bubble of delusion” bit of course. wouldn’t want the proles knowing about that now would they?
