  • This is a good point. I checked the community and it’s all complaining about ml and tankies. So why would a post about American imperialism be relevant? OP was banned with the comment “commie?” and honestly I get why. It sounds like a tankie move to post anti-US imperialism stuff to a community like that. Although commie isn’t a synonym for tankie, tankie is a subset of communist.

    OP’s name is also a reference to Lenin, making me question their motives here. Liking Lenin doesn’t make one a tankie per se but it makes me skeptical.

    Edit: the account is also 3 days old. I wonder if it’s an alt from a ml person


  • I have absolutely had anti-tankie comments deleted on Lemmy.ml. I literally just said something like “Hexbear is a bunch of tankies” and it got deleted.

    That being said, I wouldn’t support defederation just because they have some annoying mods.

    Edit: a couple other points. OP has a 3 day old account that isn’t from ml but is named in reference to Lenin. They posted anti-US imperialism stuff to a community dedicated to complaining about ml and tankies. Thats just off topic and spamming a community. I suspect OP might originally be from ml

    One area that I’m familiar with, lost films and film preservation, is not done by Redditors. I’ve met some of this country’s top archivists and even toured one of the country’s biggest vaults. This is work done by a handful of highly trained professionals. Many can do half assed jobs, but doing it right requires serious training in film history, archival techniques, and other topics in art.

    Basically, Reddit contributes nothing to film preservation.
