“Lemmy had far more red on their ledger.”

I’ve seen this crop up and come across the term ‘tankies’. Is this referring to all of Lemmy or only certain instances.

The fediverse seems great, but also a bit like the Wildwest.

So, from what I've heard, the 2 Main Developers of Lemmy and about 90% of the initial userbase were tankies, to the point where the project wasn't appealing to anyone other than them. That's why the Developers opened lemmygrad, where most of the tankies are now. That instance is also one of the most blocked instances on the fediverse

Many thanks for the explanation.
