1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

The Soviets raped and killed everything in sight when they entered Romania. They can go to hell with their "help". They fought the nazis, and they took advantage of the rest of us.
Nevermind how they installed a communist regime that ruined romania for like a decade or whatever. Not that communism is bad but that one sure was.
My time on Lemmy drastically improved when I blocked the "Tankie Triad", which is Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and Lemmy(dot)ml. I also unsubscribed from anything .ml and manually searched for the next most-popular non-tankie community for that topic.
I don't care if you have different beliefs than me, but tankies are unreasonable, trolling, and biased, in both content and moderation. They're not around to discuss anything in good faith...
Yeah, those places should be covered by the FAQ or something.
A much better solution would be for every other instance to just defederate them.
Sometimes a user's views don't align with the echo chamber they are posting in. When that happens in a political community, it usually ends in removal to protect said echo chamber.
I never see anyone get called a Nazi in cat picture communities.
Like with the assholes that run LateStageCapitalism.
Look at the mods. It's a tankie bar.
If you check the mod logs, it’s not even the mods that run their own instances. It’s mostly the admins.
Fitting in an authoritarian shithole, isn’t it?
Those two are specifically emmirants from .ml. Ones with a colorful history in the modlog, though you'd have to use their .ml handle
Ah shit, I think I was the guy you responded too! Sorry about what happened. I upvoted your reply. You are right, the Soviets had a lot of help. I just meant they bore most of the brunt of the war in Europe and that I, as an 80s kid, was never taught this in history class.
No, it wasn't you. These guys were calling me a Nazi for saying it was a group effort.
One was called EmmiLime and the other was Gary_Host_Laptop
Gary host is the hardcore tankie mod of .mls memes comm (and a few others iirc)
That explains a lot.
Was not called a world war for nothing. There were tons of countries on the “Allies” side and tons on the “Axis” side. A simple search for WWII Allies member or WWII Axis members will show who fought on each side.
There are to many to list here. Britain, Soviet Union, USA, Canada and China to name a few for the allies.
Nazi Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Finland, Hungary for the Axis side.
Edit forgot Italy.
Which worldnews? IIRC there are multiple communities called that way.
Also you should stop using Facebook and Tiktok, it's not good for your brain and for democracy.
It's not true. Even if it was the Soviets there were millions of human hands involved
There are schools of thought here and the tankies add their own brand of insanity to it. The Soviets contributed the most and lost the most. Without the Eastern front, the war couldn't have been won.
