jeffwRussia's LGBTQ+ community is turning to Telegram as the government cracks down on them
praise_idlenessI LGBTQ+ tankies on lemmy.ml and hexbear has something to say
Yeah I’d like to see them justify that
Flying SquidAt a guess: “these things are necessary to secure the state from Western agitators and things will change.”
OBJECTION!The great thing about never interacting with a group of people is that you can just make up whatever you want about them.
I’m literally interacting with you right now. Did you think I couldn’t see you were from lemmy.ml? Do you think you’re the only one from lemmy.ml who comments in this community?
Surely you’ll have no trouble producing the receipts for what you said then, right? Since you didn’t make it up, can you link to where you saw it?
I literally said it was a guess. That means I did make it up.
Please read what I write before flying off the handle next time.
Lemmy fake commies aren’t actually interested in reality.
We wouldn’t need to guess if these people interacted on such topics, but they don’t. Wonder why.
I’m literally right here interacting on that exact topic right now. I’ve seen plenty of discussions from the people mentioned about the topic and newsflash, they don’t say that. Y’all just would much prefer to pass around rumors and dismissive charicatures rather than investigating what we actually believe.
QueueShout out to that one user named Good Girl who swore that being on Hexbear and Lemmygrad meant she got better treatment than the rest of lemmy.
I hope she gets over her self-hatred and loves herself as much as outside of those spaces.
MothraI’m missing out on this particular bit of Lemmy Lore, did something happen?
It only really impacted me and a few others on Blahaj/196. She “swore off” the rest of Lemmy (still has it, still uses it) and said that being on Hexbear was better for her than other spaces online, and anyone disagreeing, even other trans women, were all wrong.
I don’t understand why someone would downvote you or why this opinion would cause an impact of any kind? People say all sorts of crazy things online. Was she particularly rude, trollish or baitey?
She thought that the group of trans people that run 196 was somehow enabling transphobia and other horrid things when we constantly removed it.
And when we removed it, she said it was better for communication if kept things up to show the idiots.
And then when I kept it up, she got mad at me for not instantly banning and removing them.
Like everything 196 does was inherently a master plan where we messed with all users just for her.
She’s banned because she constantly went “I can’t wait to leave this place” and never did. So I left the ban note along the lines of “If you want to leave, you can. You’re not, you’re harassing users and defending tankies, so take this time to breath some air.”
I see, thanks for sharing!
talLemmy is not designed to provide reasonably-hardened anonymity in the sort of way that Hyphanet, I2P, or maybe Tor or something like that is.
I would not recommend using Lemmy if I were seriously concerned about government prosecution for content on it.
Lemmy’s a good alternative for something like Reddit.

uislavender.ltgc.i2p exists. It’s Lemmy instance avaliable from i2p and tor. But it’s mostly pony instance.
Hm. As long as you only interact with Lemmy through a VPN, or even something like Tor, you’re just as safe with Lemmy as you would be with Reddit. The same is true for basically all of the internet, because the servers can also always see your IP by default, and the owners of those servers can be coerced to give it away by whatever external forces.
Comparing Lemmy with Tor and I2P doesn’t really make any sense, they’re clearly completely different projects that do very different things.
queermunist she/herI’m unsure what you think a tankie is.
Invalid_nameNo biden supporter = Tankie
the guy in front of CCP tanks in tiananmen
You have it backwards. A tankie would be in favor of running him over.
I realized that after posting it lol.
Someone who supports Imperialism when America/“the West” isn’t doing it. Really, that’s all it boils down to.
don’t stress - they’re being disingenuous.
I’m also unsure of what you think imperialism is.
Funny. I have a pretty good idea of what you think imperialism is.
Here’s a hint: I think a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine should involve a new referendum organized and monitored by an impartial body (so not one picked by either Russia or NATO) before I was comfortable with Crimea or other parts of Eastern Ukraine joining Russia.
It’s a good compromise because it leaves everyone unhappy.
Or Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine. Your “compromise” is letting the mugger only take half of your wallet.
Giving concessions to Nazi Germany is how the world let WWII happen in the first place. Russia has been allowed to fuck around for far too much. They should have been stopped when they invaded Georgia. Letting them have parts of Ukraine will only give them time to regroup and possibly invade either Ukraine again or some other nation.
before I was comfortable with Crimea or other parts of Eastern Ukraine joining Russia.
Are you currently in Crimea? Other parts of Ukraine? Is this really your call?
Your “compromise” is letting the mugger only take half of your wallet.
People aren’t property, you don’t get to keep them just because you own them. They have self determination.
Are you currently in Crimea? Other parts of Ukraine? Is this really your call?
No, it’s theirs, which is why I want them to have a choice! I’m the one that wants to let them choose whether they join Russia or stay with Ukraine. You’re the one that wants to hold them against their will if they truly want to leave.
I’d be comfortable with allowing them to do what they want. Why do you not want the same?
I’d be comfortable with allowing them to do what they want.
They want more guns and bullets. I wonder why?
Zelenski wants guns and bullets. What do the People want? Do Crimeans want the US to give Ukraine more guns and bullets? Or do they not count for some reason?
Casualties in the Russo-Ukrainian War include six deaths during the 2014 annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, 14,200–14,400 military and civilian deaths during the War in Donbas
en.wikipedia.org/…/Casualties_of_the_Russo-Ukrain…
So I’m guessing what a large number of them want is for Russia to unkill their friends and relatives. But then most of the ones who want that have been driven out, arrested, or intimidated into silence.
They didn’t get a choice to get invaded by Russia in the first place. Why should they get a choice about whether or not Russia should stay there, especially after Russia has either driven out or arrested people trying to get the occupied areas out of Russian hands?
Interesting. How about a counter-offer? Russia gets the fuck off the Ukraine, pays reparations, and maybe in a decade or so of being nice the rest of the world starts trading with them.
Ukraine has/had an imperfect government, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be invaded. My government is far far from perfect that doesn’t mean I should be punished with bombs going off on my block and my children kidnapped.
Fuck Putin and fuck his supporters and fuck anyone who both sides this crap. Russia could have sat there and broken their own people forever and no one would have raised a finger to stop it they invaded a neighbor that was zero threat to them. For what? So an elderly despot could enjoy his fantasies of restoring a dead empire.
Interesting. How about a counter-offer? Russia gets the fuck off the Ukraine, pays reparations, and maybe in a decade or so of being nice the rest of the world starts trading with them.
The rest of the world is trading with them. It’s just the NATO bloc that has cut them off, which is now bifurcating the global economy. It’s one of the main reasons for inflation all throughout the West, because our currencies are now not being used by a growing segment of the world economy.
Your counteroffer isn’t happening and if we keep this up things will only get worse. We can’t dictate terms. We have to negotiate.
Ukraine has/had an imperfect government, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be invaded.
Ukraine had a pro-Western revolution/coup that removed Russian allies and replaced them with NATO allies. It doesn’t matter if they “deserve” to be invaded (I don’t think they deserved it, for the record), Russia merely did what was in it’s geopolitical interests.
Fuck Putin and fuck his supporters and fuck anyone who both sides this crap.
Deeply unserious. 😔
You are still defending them? Why? I am sure you aren’t being paid for weekend work. Anyway I block Russian shills but feel free to earn your potatos by replying.
Deeply unserious. 😔
Apparently a coup is a pretext for a foreign power to invade. Which is a strange pretext for a war and one I’m unfamiliar with.
you again. 🤦♂️
Who keeps telling me to log off?
I will NEVER log off!
you‘ve never been on hexbear, have you?
All my experiences with hexbear was with their toxic userbase so yes and no :) And I would make sure that it stays that way.
it‘s just a complete uninformed take. Hexbear is pro LGBTQ. And outspokenly so.
I know. That’s why they’re a clown.
ah, hm, because you think they are Putin shills at the same time?
why yes they are
but you never been on the instance?
I can smell the poop without going into a sewage pipe
so it shouldn‘t be difficult for you to show me some examples of Putin shilling hexbear users, right?
You just had to make me put my hand in that burning pile of horse poo: hexbear.net/post/2763869
what is it with the poo, man?
15 days old poo, mind you.
I mean, it‘s pretty unimaginative to label these guys Putin shills. These guys are fed up with the way the Western world is run. They are fed up with the hypocrisy of liberal politics. And maybe there’s something to it, no? The way all others are preaching nationalism, the sanctity of our markets and success, hexbear to me really feels like a bit of fresh air.
I kinda don’t want to dip my toes in this, but here goes:
I agree that it’s occasionally a breath of fresh air. The issue I’ve always had with Hexbear is they’ve more or less replaced one version of American (and to a lesser extent European) exceptionalism with another. Where American nationalists consider America to be exceptionally great, Hexbear considers it to be exceptionally evil. They routinely attribute domestic incidents in different countries to American meddling–regardless of evidence–even when those events either achieve nothing for American geostrategic goals or actively harm them. America as the “great Satan,” etc.
In the same vein, they permit or even encourage Chinese aggression against the Philippines, within the Philippines’ own exclusive economic zone. You can’t substitute one form of imperialism for another. It’s a trap I see a lot of leftists fall into.
I think most of 'em are alright. Just growing into leftist thought still and grappling with the moshpit that is international politics. Also they’re funny lol
People, observe the rhetorical devices of tankies. They do not engage in meaningful discourse. They answer with non-sequiturs framed as innocent questions. They present themselves as free speech defenders, yet they use this free speech to defend the most oppressive regimes in the world, though most often implicitly as their whole thesis becomes an obvious sophism were it to be explicitly stated:
America bad, therefore Russia/China/NK good.
It’s the exact same rhetorical devices that /r/The_Donald used during the '16 election, only with a different goal. It’s the methodology of people actively working against their own self-interest, shitting all over rational discourse because they found themselves in a self-reassuring echo-chamber of anticonformism.
Well, if you are calling for people not to engage with these groups, then you are compliant in creating these echo chambers. Yours and theirs. This is what happened with the disenfranchised people at The_Donald. Framing them like idiots, with some collective nefarious goal is laughable at best. While you don’t approve the way they communicate, they are still pretty good at exposing liberal hypocrisy. If you pretend that doesn’t exist and just want to shut up growing factions of society, you are working against your self interest all the same.
Oh you poor things, the lack of attention we give you is what allows you to thrive. I’d almost shed a tear if there was an inkling of truth in those ramblings.
Oh man, speaking of rhetorical devices…
Russia is terrible on LGBT rights.
Being a tankie doesn’t mean that you agree with everything any non-Western state does, it just means that you’re critical of war and are willing to consider internationalist perspectives.
Russia is terrible on war
