I have gained a lot of sympathy for the comrades who post here from lemmy.ml. That place is rancid holy smokes, the entire thread is full of some of the most bazinga brain libs I've seen in my life. Extremely weird understanding of politics, double standards for what counts as censorship, absolutely 0 effort to try to understand what Dessalines is trying to say, no consistency in terms in general. I'm so glad I only have to see the 1/400 people that come here rather than existing in that space. Literally worse than /r/neoliberal.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

they linked the wikipedia article for Tankie lmao what a closing argument
It's a real goofy time over there, haha. A lib tried to Ultra me and tell me Lemmy is Capitalist because posting is Value, and asserted that I haven't read Marx, only being exposed to Lenin via memes.
Deeply unserious people.
tell them to make a hexbear account and try to prove their point here
If they try to swing back again I will, but I think they finally realized how cooked they are.
That, or they were trolling the entire time to make me look better, but it's .world so I doubt it lol
I miss when the slur filter was hard coded so we’d get periodic 
posts about how the authoritarian tankies are ruining 
When this site launched our slur filter even did substitutions. It would replace things like "Israel" with "Occupied Palestine" and "North Korea" with "Democratic People's Republic of Korea." We figured out that had to go as soon as somebody tried posting "Death to Israel."
We need to invent smart filters
I swear this gets posted on like a monthly basis by some brave patriot 
"Guys did you know there are leftists online?!?!?"
We love our lemmy.ml tankies 
Lemmy.ml 🤝 hexbear.net 🤝 Lemmygrad.ml
United tankie front 🫂
They learn from who they are worshipping. Exactly how the CCP control the narratives.
With no hint of irony
It's always accusations of worshipping, simping, praising and fellating from these people. If someone could explain the sexual pathology at play here, I would be very grateful

Of course dot world whips up a red scare over the dev team the day before we release the next version of Lemmy.
lemmy . world users reporting me to the House Un-American Activities Committee? must be a day that ends in Y!
thanks for the warning, im going to avoid this lemmy thing and those hex bears
Is .world dying or something? Lol
God I hope so
The old boogymen of Hexbear and Grad are invisible, so .world will saber rattle from time to time. .ml believes in an interconnected fediverse, so they don't plan on defeding, and .world wants to maintain their image of being impartial.
I imagine eventually the contradiction will be resolved and some inciting incident will leave us with .world defeding and a multipolar Lemmy arising.
Honestly if the Lemmy creators are ML I don't understand why they don't just tell .world to fuck off. They're not constructive to have in the fediverse and all they do is lower the quality of the place while spreading red scare style disinfo.
I largely agree, if Hexbear and Lemmygrad can't serve that role or don't want to, it's good to have at least one major instance to expose libs to Marxism. Even if my experience would be better on Grad or Hexbear, I still like being able to try to lead libs to theory.

There are far too many hyper-online radlib NATO-leftists in the furry community tbh :(

Not to stir the pot but wasn't this known? Besides "socialists" write better software than fascist any day of the week.
The liberals of lemmy have the collective memory of a toddler.
So regular liberals?
Literally why I moved from .world to .ml last year, I didn't want to be on one of the redditeur instances.

Cant wait for when sublinks drop and see lemmy.world die by trying to force their users and comms to switch to it and them just leaving for another instance

I hadn't put it together yet, but I'm realizing that "tankie" is just the liberal version of "woke". Much like conservatives call anyone left of them "woke", liberals call anyone left of them "tankie".

I don’t know why we are expected to spend any amount of time engaging with this infantile garbage. Who let them out of the kiddie pool? Now they are spewing their putrid shit all over the adults’ table. I’m not having a discussion with these entitled manchildren, they have nothing to say that’s worth listening to.
Think of it this way, would you spend hours trying to argue with a toddler who thinks the moon is made of cheese?

Have they decided on a definition yet? Trying to work out if they'd consider me one
Bernie Sanders is almost definitely a tankie in their view so unless you're to the right of a literal zionist Rosa killer, you probably are considered one too.
Anarchists that aren't Nato supporters (also known as the entire point of the fucking ideology) have been thrown into the tankie box months ago friend.
Of course the first link would be to SShit.juSSt.worKKKSS. Of course.
