What the mod meant by "tankie-adjacent" (probably, nobody knows what it means):
Lmao db0 (instance owner) literally confirmed it 💀
The admin probably was a bit too uncharitable in interpreting the meme due to who was posting it
(Remember that many 🧠🪱ed libs like to equate lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad, so as far as he's concerned I'm a sovereign citizen of hexbear)
And
Y'all need to chill with the hate though. It's what causing these situations as admins and mods immediately assume bad faith from hexbears and .ml
Tankies stay winning!
That's not what I said at all. Read again. It was still unrelated to the community.
I say it's related, you say it's unrelated, no point arguing.
Yes, I'm am very certain you're very not mad
Did you read the comments (both mine and of others?) we are just chatting, no salt down here. You think I'm salty, I think I'm not.
My post won't be reinstated, but we had a cheap laugh at the expense of your mod and had some sane discussions between ourselves, as far as I'm concerned this is a net win for me. You'll think we are all just a bunch of salty lunatics and that's your opinion.
There's no point arguing when both sides have unreconcilable viewpoints, our conversation ends here. Disengage.
I love hexbear because of the weird detailed emojis, I download every single one I find, i have like 7 by now.
Last two are my favorites.
Pls don't defederate from lemmy.ml, I assure you we're 100% tankie-adjacent
~also I love your hex-shitposts~

This is turning into a "2 minutes of hate" situation with you peeps and our instance, innit? :D
So I was correct in assuming that the post itself was fine, and the real reason behind it's removal was who posted it? If so I think I earned a collective laugh for me and my friends over here.
but it was ultimately removed for being unrelated to piracy.
This is my biggest gripe, I "borrowed" that meme from r/piracy it's clearly related to piracy: it's a play (an iperbole) on the stereotype of the "corporate bootlicker" I bet you encountered it tons of times in piracy communities, I certainly did.
but just a lemming being upset they got moderated
I'm laughing more than I'm crying, and so are all the other people in the thread.

Your mods ban posts from lemmy.ml (may I remember you it's the 3rd largest and the oldest lemmy instance, founded by the lead developers and founders of lemmy software) on sight and we're the ones who need to chill? Bro I hate diagnosing people but your mod team is in a deep paranoid psichosis, if not outright bigotry against said instances. Do you want an echo chamber? Because that's how you get an echo chamber.

Since I started looking at amerikkkrakkker politics my brainworms rate has skyrocketed, it's at the same time the funniest and the saddest shit ever. At the same time I don't and I do get how Americans don't revolt immediately.
Brainwormed rant over
Not all westerners are corporate shills, but all corporate shills are westerners. When you're able to afford media and a decent lifestyle, you start to look down upon those who can't, you berate them for being "parasites" at worst and for "not supporting the poor corporations" at best.
I remember a time when piracy was the norm, when they wanted to show us a movie in school, they would either bring a burned CD or go to a streaming site, now they have won the "cultural war" and those things would be considered on par with armed robbery. 15 years ago we had people selling pirated games on the streets, good times those were. For context I live on the poorer side of the westoid core and our school system is chronically underfunded, it's not rare for a school to literally fall into pieces.
They tried to argue with me in a post I made about the banning of my post but at this point I think I'm not even gonna argue with them, the only thing they can do is reinstate my post but they won't, having a cheap laugh at their expense is better. Having an infinite discussion with them is less productive than having it with my (fantastic, beautiful and far smarter than them) cat.
These people can't be argued with, if I have the time I can find another guy from lemmygrad talking about it1: you can always win the conversation with libs (as their arguments don't contain any substance) but they always want the last word on anything, if you take the bait, you're gonna be engaged with them till the end of time, and frankly I don't have too much time to spare rn.

And a selected quote:
99.9% pure basedness concentrate
Oh dear, that’s probably it for now, this lib has reached the point that they will simply regurgitate the same circular statements again and again. A well-coordinated team of comrades can keep them going like this for hours, but it will just be repeats of their previous statements over and over again, so there’s nothing new to learn here.
I am not following their preferred script and it upsets them, they want me to play their games, and have run out of new ways to try to get me back on their preferred track. Here we see the real tragedy of liberal brainworms. They simply believe that insisting upon something enough will make it so, that just repeating the same things over and over give them more weight, make them more correct, as if simply stating something enough will make it true.
Slav term scary, me need to trust respectable western neoliberal politician in suit, or else I get the barbaric dictator!
I happen to encounter this issues on posts with a longer title, the title gets cropped like that.
Today I made a post about an hexbear rule I found strange, many comrades agreed but shortly after a debate ensued, the thread is still up, although locked, so anyone who wants can take a look and judge. One of the people I was arguing with is a moderator of lemmygrad, I got banned shortly after for being "disrespectful" and a lot of my comments were removed. Anyone who wants to judge should look up the post on the community "leftist infighting" they called me stupid, they strawmanned me and yet, who was banned? Me! I will leave some pictures in the comment so you can judge.
Got it, wanted to clarify that we have different unreconcilable viewpoints and all that stuff, still learning this hexbear thing. I'll keep it in mind for the next time.
Edit: accidentally sent a couple extra comments
