Welcome ex-Redditors!

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.
Again, despite claims to the contrary, tankie for most people means "anything left of the Democrats, or willingness to break with US foreign policy."

If I were criticizing various nations more than the U.S., I wouldn't shame people for "authoritarian bootlicking". Glass houses and all that.
And critically, not just since Trump. As soon as the ink dried on the Nazi surrender, the US and OSS/CIA armed and funded every fascist they could find since fascists are the most dedicated anti-communists.

Welcome

Got my account and started reading and posting today, and you're right, they are nice people. I had somehow mixed up Beehaw and Hexbear in my head. Big mistake.
I may end up moving over there as primary just because I'm so tired of the trolls myself.

Yiffit was never federated with any of them, none of them federate with porn instances.

Imma be honest, I don't think .ml belongs on there. Their users can be pretty cool.
.ml is a cesspool

who love strawmen
like “narwhal bacon”

Yay, I'm glad you like it there! It's definitely more slow moving than the rest of Lemmy, but I like their weekly community chats and stuff. Also a killer gardening community.

Welcome! I am new too. Still getting adjusted to the federations and the "way" things are here.

Get the app: sync for Lemmy! It's amazing

Them not federating with another instance doesn't stop other instances seeing their content. It only stops their instance seeing the blocked instance's content.

Like that guy with the Buckies profile pic? lol I see him everywhere

I'd rather have the wild west of ideas over reddit. So I don't mind em

I mean you say that, but it's not like every community on .ml is focused on politics man. Their largest communities are mostly about tech. And they have a pretty cool, albeit somewhat inactive datahoarders community, of whom I think some are helping with redundant archival of datasets being erased by Trump's administration.

If instance A isn't federated with instance B, nobody from instance B sees instance A's content. That is different from a block.

Is it server side or can I remove it for myself? I am not a garden flower, words don't offend me.

Yeah, at this point the word "tankie" is used so liberaly that communists are just one type of "tankie".
or "tankie" is just a type of communist. who knows at this point.
-
Marx said communism is stateless
every type of leftism that im aware of except for social democrats want to achieve a stateless society. to be fair im not sure if social democrats can even be considered leftists.
-
Okay bro wtf is that wall of text. They’re all communist, full stop. Trying to label them something else doesn’t change the fact that communism is a political system for psychopaths
Man, I had some hope you'd look past your propaganda and programming, but I guess not.
I wish you the best in the future; try looking into what you're being fed. After you work through the humiliation of accepting the easy lies of conservatives, please remember you're not the only one to fall for it. It's very common, especially amongst men.
Good luck, you are loved

You can't, you have to move instances.
