Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.

Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

goes into a ML space
Criticizes ML
Gets banned
Here's how you bitch about their modding.
"They instance wide banned me for saying a federal democratic republic is, by definition, a form of democracy. I'm not surprised by that, MLs gonna ML, but I am kind of annoyed it wasn't for me calling Stalin a red fascist who killed the Revolution."
I haven't used lemmy up until this point. They pose as a general purpose instance and are the 2nd largest lemmy instance at that. I knew the lemmy devs had their preferences but I didn't know they would let it effect their moderating so strongly.
It happens to everyone and is probably going to be the downfall of lemmy
hilarious thing is that they think banning a user is a win. Yeah you guys sure dunked on that random guy by banning him
It will definetly hinder its growth. I hope the ml instance just gets mostly irrelevant when instances that allow for more free speech can grow accordingly. They might create a stronger cesspool of likemineded tankies but it hurts the overall platform
