Welcome ex-Redditors!

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.
The closest thing to subreddit drama here is probably yepowertrippingbastards over on db0ero, but even that is more like Am I The Asshole for mod bans than anything else.

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.
-
From what I can tell, this tankie stuff is bullshit. In the years I've been here, I've seen close to zero 'tankie' content from any of these supposedly tankie instances. There's like maybe one or two people on those instances who might fit the description if you search for them. Meanwhile, literally every day there are posts spitting on these supposed tankie instances. (And actually, it's again a very small number of people complaining - but they put their crap into cute memes to get traction).
I don't like the idea of shouting slurs at entire instances. In my view, if you hate those instances so much - just block them. Problem solved. No need to spew hate all over lemmy.
-
ah yes, thats right! there are only two sides, western fascism, or eastern.
-
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.

That is indeed the .world attitude.

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?

Karl Marx said communism is stateless. Tankies are named after their support of soviet tanks to put down revolutions. That's the opposite of stateless.

Lol, well I guess there are no communists then, not even Marx himself, as no-one has achieved statelessness.
Also, what a stupid image, it's literally just horseshoe theory with "I'm on of the good leftists" liberal boot licking thrown in

Well except for the Catalonians, the Haudenosaunee, the Australians, the Polynesians...

Catalan made their own "state" that's not stateless. Humans need societies and structures, we aren't tigers, we're weak hairless monkeys.

The opposite of western bootlicking is not Russian bootlicking.

When hexbear federatedn with SJW, I spent a day arguing Russia invading is bad actually, North Korea isn't a democratic utopia, and China isn't a shining pillar of socialism. Then I blocked them all because that was exhausting. So idk if hexbear is still so tankie, but they definitely were at that point.
