Rules
- Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
- When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
- The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

If someone supports authoritarians masquerading as leftists they subscribe to tankie ideology. Sucks for them that it's a pejorative TOO.
If people don't like being called it maybe they shouldn't openly support such behavior.
Edit it's funny, someone calling for mutual aid driven , equity based, collectivist society would never be called a tankie. It's other stuff that people are squirming out of the cracks to defend here. Like long running dictatorial rule, state control of information, ethnic cleansing and political prisons.
And before I'm hit with the ml special: a lot of that shit happens in the west too, and has for years. There's just different labels for it.
What makes someone a Leftist, vs an "authoritarian masquerading as a leftist?" What is "tankie ideology?"
JAQ elsewhere. Ample resources to look up.
My late edit had some keywords to can type in if you're unfamiliar.
It isn't "JAQ," I asked a specific pair of questions because vague gesturing isn't effective communication. For your edit, removing control from the Bourgeoisie, defending revolution, and having the Dictatorship of the Proletariat control the press is straight from Marx, so I guess you mean Marxism is "tankie ideology." I don't know what you mean by dictatorships, nor ethnic cleansing, this just seems to be more vague assertions.
