LGBTQ+ tankies on lemmy.ml and hexbear have something to say
Lemmy 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.
Hm. As long as you only interact with Lemmy through a (trusted) VPN, or even through Tor, you’re just as safe using Lemmy as you would be any other website. Servers can always see your IP by default, and the owners of those servers can be coerced to give it away by whatever external forces. If you hide your IP, they can’t. That’s pretty much it.
lavender.ltgc.i2p exists. It’s Lemmy instance avaliable from i2p and tor. But it’s mostly pony instance.
Yeah I’d like to see them justify that
At a guess: “these things are necessary to secure the state from Western agitators and things will change.”
The great thing about never interacting with a group of people is that you can just make up whatever you want about them.
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.
I’ve heard plenty of “LGBT Rights is wrong because it means forcing Western Values on other cultures” stories from Tankies. It was enough to prove Horseshoe Theory to me.
Rather proves those were Pro-Russia trolls posing as something else
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 clowns.
ah, hm, because you think they are Putin shills at the same time?
why yes they are
but you never been on the instance?
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
Yeah, I don’t fully agree with their decision to intervene in the Ukrainian civil war, just as I don’t agree with Ukraine’s shelling of Donbass in violation of Minsk II, or with the coup and banning of opposition parties that led the disputed territories to declare independence.
The best case scenario, as has been the case since the start, is for a peace agreement to be reached as soon as possible to prevent further loss of life. Which reactionary government controls the disputed territories isn’t worth people dying over.
Yeah, I don’t fully agree with their decision to intervene in the Ukrainian civil war
Of course Russia had nothing to do with the war. They would never fund and support the separatists, or spread anti Ukrainian propaganda amongst the Russian speaking population, because Putin loves democracy and just wants the best for everyone, of course. /s
Let’s not forget that there would have been no “Ukrainian Civil War” if Russia hadn’t annexed Crimea.
I used precisely one adjective in that comment to describe Russia’s government, could you tell me what it was?
No response tells me you can’t read.
You said you “don’t fully agree” with Russia intervening in the civil war (by shelling kyiv I guess, because theres definitely civil war there). As if they didn’t provoke it in the first place to justify their invasion.
I also wouldn’t expect people who are criticial of war to say that they “don’t fully agree” with Russia waging a war of aggression and commiting mass murder and war crimes in Ukraine, I would expect some actual condemnation of such atrocities.

Answer the question, please. It’s not hard.
You don’t agree with most aspects of reality.
Such as?
What? It absolutely does not. It means you’re an authoritarian “communist”.
I’m unsure what you think a tankie is.
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?
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.

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 again. 🤦♂️
Who keeps telling me to log off?
I will NEVER log off!

You have it backwards. A tankie would be in favor of running him over.

Coming soon to the U.S. courtesy of the GOP.
Conservatism is a plague.
And France with le pen.
And the Netherlands with Wilders
There’s a Russian guy I know in some… adult roleplay circles…, kinkiest chap I know. I worry about him… He tried telling me Telegram was “safer”, didn’t know what he meant.
He meant it is not controlled by FSB like VK and mailru shit and doesn’t show phone number to entire world like whatsapp.
