  • I knew of Beehaw, but they got left off mostly because last I heard they were extremely selective on who they federated with.

    My personal opinion of Beehaw is, I have none unlike The Tankie Triad where i’ve experienced and seen the games they play. Then again, I think BH does fed with them, so if they’re so selective to do that…





  • Besides, there’s more to .ml than a love of authoritarian

    Not really, back in the day yea, but over the past year as other comm’s have grown on other instances their influence has been waning and all that’s left is the Tankie ideology

    Programming.dev has taken over for FOSS and programming topics in general, other instances are taking over memes, and I’m even seeing more and more non-.ml privacy subs rise

    If you look at MAUs, even the .ml memes comm (once THE most popular comm) doesn’t crack the top 10 anymore. Not a single .ml comm does

    Oh hey this looks familiar LMAO

    Before the tankies come in here

    Their calls of unity and accusations of division are false, they’re Authoritarian “leftists” who deny anything bad of the CCP, Russia and NK from human rights violations to genocides and any evidence of said acts is nothing but “CIA/Western propaganda”

    Tankies are not socialists, they’re not communists, they’re authoritarians, full stop.



  • The management of lemmy.ml is tankie friendly, but many or even most of the users are not actually tankies.

    You haven’t been on .ml much or don’t pay attention to the subtleties if you think the admins and main mods aren’t full blown Tankies. And they’re quick to silence dissenting voices that dare criticize China or Russia, no matter how deserving or right

    .ml is more subtle than hex that’s true, but they’re absolutely Tankies just the same and consider hex and grad friends.





  • More than a little concerning, it’s happened plenty of times before. People see that BS on the Tankie Triad and then leave thinking Lemmy is just a bunch of tankies

    Sometimes they try another non-Tankie instance and realize that we’re not all like that, but I’m sure a majority never return always thinking that all of Lemmy is “that Tankie hangout” or worse, a Voat 2.0
