Welcome ex-Redditors!

Ngl, I am learning so much lemmy server id pol from you right now, lol
It's very interesting reading your experience (which I guess is the more common experience), and how even on this free and open platform there is still some sort of social grouping happening. I didn't really even factor that into my choice of server when I signed up, but now that I think about it, servers like slrpnk and the old 196 server (I'm completely blanking on the instance name) are built around special groups, obviously so. I guess I just don't think too deeply on the identities of the general instances, because they claim to not have one (but they clearly do lol.)
Thanks for making the effort to explain all this, I appreciate it!
Happy to help! I'm terminally online af, so I see a lot of... all of the discourse, lmao.

Communist is not the same as tankie. Lemmy probably wouldn't exist if the devs weren't communist

Meanwhile I'm learning my instance is so chill I have no idea where the discourse even is
I used to be a daily frequenter of r/subredditdrama too, I've apparently gone soft.

Yeah I randomly picked an instance when I created this account around a year ago, and these days I see people comment things like “lol of course you’re from .ml”.
I don’t even know what’s the difference between instances. And it’s not like we were given a whole lot of explanation when picking one.
-
Tankies aren't communists.
-
And you picked that?
-
It's a bit like OSRS for reddit - an attempt to revive the reddit we all have very rose-tinted memories of. Unfortunately we seem to have forgotten about the the rampant casual misogyny, tribalism, moderator political infighting, that the 2007 XP rates were actually abysmally implemented and desperately needed retooling and that deeply awkward "ron paul" phase.

Yeah, that's pretty unfair. You shouldn't have to put up with this; and it definitely is not your fault, or the fault of the instance. This "tankie instance" thing is bullshit.
-
Remember, it's not authoritarian or bootlicking if it's Israel or the US
-
How many times are you going to repost this and even edit it to turn it into an outright lie. I used to just have you blocked but this is next level.
-
Which ones.
-
You have to remember, the people making the tankie accusations consider anyone to the left of Joe Biden a tankie.
-
Tankies aren't communists.
Yeah, at this point the word "tankie" is used so liberaly that communists are just one type of "tankie".
-
What? Those are the three instant where I see the least denial of the US and Israels genocide, and the least bootlicking of western authoritarianism.
-
Communist is not the same as tankie. Lemmy probably wouldn't exist if the devs weren't communist
I mean, they're only not the same because "tankie" is so broadly defined that it also includes anarchists and non-western liberals.

Do you still have several posts up wrongly shitting all over the place?
I'm trans and new to Lemmy. Can I have some lore on what's going on with Hexbear? - midwest.social
I’m posting because originally when I was looking to create a Lemmy account I came across Hexbear. I read the code of conduct and TOS and to me it seemed like a great fit for me. However, after creating an account there, it seems pretty defederated. Anyway I was curious on the happenings over there, because they have some cute custom emojis over there… but if there’s a reason they’re so defederated, I might just pretend i never made an account there EDIT: omg I just found out this instance has cute blob emojis too :3 ablobcatrave [https://midwest.social/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblahaj.zone%2Ffiles%2F94f34486-e39e-404b-b605-b7be9dc95426]
