Are we still doing tankie mod posts?

TIL that you have to be communist to be anticapitalist. No ideology but MY ideology.

PTB. I'm anarcho-communist, but I'm pretty sure I would get banned from any of those communities, because I'm more interested in building communities as my act of resistance, not the romantic notions of violent revolution they seem to have.

Lemmy's tankies only really endorse one form of communism - Stalinism. PTB for sure.

Yup, PTB. Any time you're banned from an unrelated sub, there has to be a damn good reason for it, or it's power tripping. There are acceptable reasons to do preemptive bans, but simply not sharing the same ideology isn't one of them.

Unless you were talking about whatever it was in multiple places, in contravention of community rules, there's no reason to assume you would do so in that community as well. It's wasted effort, which means it's about whatever is in their head, not your actions.

However, that's all based on what's visible here. Some folks think "calling out" means bitching at, or otherwise hassling someone that's only expressing their views. So, if you think calling out requires being a dick to someone (it really doesn't. You can even be assertive without being a dick), this would be more of a "both people are jerks" type of situation. And that's coming from someone that's too damn old to have the patience to stay assertive without just calling someone a jackass, so I'd likely deserve a preemptive ban here and there.

Seriously folks, what you think of as calling out can still be a bad thing, even if the person you're calling out is fully in the wrong. You can go too hard, too far, and be just as wrong. I've done it many a time. When it comes down to moderation, think of it like being at someone's backyard bbq. If you tell a fellow guest they're behaving poorly, that's one thing. If you start railing at them and fucking up the vibe, don't be surprised if you're out of the party as well as, or even instead of, the other asshole.

To expand that, if you're at a backyard BBQ, being a loud douche, the guy next door might make sure you aren't ever invited to his place, even though you didn't do it in his yard. So even someone that isn't a mod of the place you're "calling out" someone could decide to just not want to deal with it. Can't say I'd do it like that, but it isn't the same as a power trip.

Tbh though, pretty much anyone that's ever run into godlesscommie knows they're hyper aggressive in their zealotry. It's a thing. The chances of anyone having actually done anything worthy of a ban in one of their communities is absurdly low.

Embrace free thinking... or else.
