Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Yeah the communities dedicated to screenshotting posts in other instances are a really fucking odd thing I see show up routinely.

It has always appeared to me there is some kind of side squabble between various communities in the Fediverse against a couple instances in the Fediverse. I pretty much see two flavors: overly personal grudges or hypocritical trolling. Or I guess the swirl option for both, so three flavors.

It's kind of nostalgic really, for the old days of forum flame wars.

The purpose is to highlight that tankies are extremists who hide their bigotry and hatred behind progressivism.

I would respect you more if you had more interests than disliking these people.

You don't dislike people who deny and even celebrate genocides? Don't think I want your respect if such content is okay with you.

Show me some receipts

Cherry picking sarcastic comments is fine even

Awesome

Please include references to the context. If those users are spouting this crap on other instances and they do nothing about it defederating is a good option.

If they are having private shitbird conversations within their own community, block the communities on your instance.

They do indeed post such content on other instances and communities. There are many examples of this in the community.
