What's with worldnews banning me for saying the USSR didn't singlehandedly defeat the Nazis? (lemmy.zip)

I replied to someone saying that the USSR defeated the Nazis saying that it was a group effort. Got into an argument and called a Nazi repeatedly because "I was mad that the USSR defeated the Nazis and hated them for it" which is ridiculous. This isn't the first time that's happened on Lemmy. What's up with that?

Lemmy was started by authoritarian communists (often called tankies) who got banned from Reddit, so they are generally more abundant here. They have their own alternate version of reality where the USSR was the most perfect society to ever exist and the west is the source of all evil in the world.

There are a few instances (aka servers) they tend to congregate on, but the main one is Lemmy.ml. It was the first server made so despite its extreme ideological slant, it still has a lot of subscribers. Just avoid any communities on Lemmy.ml and this shouldn't happen anymore.

    To elaborate, they are tankies who believe trans rights are western pink washing. And who larp as Haitian revolutionaries from their ergonomic computer chairs. And who literally do not post outside of their home instance because they can't handle the internet without their "I win" ban button.

    oh hey you're the guy who got banned for coming into a trans space and calling people fake cause you didn't like their opinions, interesting that you've found new home.

    Wow, your days must be fun.

    But we already talked about it and I came out clean. But I guess you forgot that and now I'm "that guy", guess rules only go one way for you.

    I'll kick out tankies all day any day btw, even if they are trans (which was the case here IIRC), but being banned on .ml is what you'll get just for being normal or knowing history lol.

    Edit: better wording in my explanation.

    Can you expand on this?

    Basically I'm as pro trans as they go. I discussed with someone from blåhaj IIRC. So problem solved back then already.

    The stupid thread was about russia vs the west, but as Diva got my comment removed she likes to yell slurs at me since then it seems 😂. Also like, touch grass, it was 2 years ago.

    So yeah, for me Diva loves to harass people basically, and I'll probably block her because I don't need people like that in my life.

    Also think about it, in a thread about how the soviet union teamed up with the Nazis, an .ml person (in their magic land the URSS was nice and not at all with the nazis, contrary to all non russian history) comes here and berates me.

    🤷🏼‍♀️

    Wild.

    Yeah, it's really inconvenient for y'all when people have a word to accurately summarize the fatal flaw in your ideology isn't it?
