I just realised, I can't post anything on lemmy.ml

So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there's a new moderator.

All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned

In my country we have antifa for antifascists. Are you here some kind of anti-tankies? Because I see far, far more posts about antitankies fighting supposed tankies than I see people fighting fascists.

Tankies wpuld literally support the reincarnation of hitler if he said "america bad" they worship genocidal dictators on the sole grounds they oppose America. They hold literally no leftists values. They just like authority

[-] bouh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thing is, I've never seen a tankie. I've already talked to many fascists here on lemmy though.

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Depends on what subs/instances you frequent. Since the reddit migration brought a lot of liberals and centrists to lemmy, many of the tankie types have been drowned out by sheer numbers and have retreated to hexbear and lemmygrad etc.

However, there's also a decent number of fasicsts and neocons who came from reddit and are all over exploding heads, shitjustworks etc

I don't really see those users much because I don't frequent their spaces. I tend to be in more leftist spaces so I see more tankies.

And of course there was that one disastrous week or so where we gave federation with hexbear a chance and they just flung tankie shit everywhere.

Again, that's anti-tankie memes I see every week. Not tankie ones. It's the anti-tankies who are very active, not the tankies.

They're active in comments, but they're also a small minority

In the US, antifa vs. fascists is the actual conflict bubbling up in real life. Only online do people care about tankies. They're a test for moderation and decentralization so people can keep them from being disruptive, not a real concern for freedom of expression. Critical support for Russia's invasion (or disruption of support for Ukraine) is way more likely to come from the alt-right fascists than pseudo-left online tankies.

[-] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

That's mostly because pseudo intellectual "leftist" tankies are almost exclusively found online. There's no real presence irl

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Other than, you know, the millions and millions and millions of them organised in parties throughout the world.

[-] Ataraxia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

These aren't leftists. They're trolls.
