The people hosting lemmy ml are also hosting the instance lemmygrad.ml You can look around there. Those are tankies.
What's the point of specifically looking for the tankie instance just so you can say See? Lemmy is overrun by tankies. At that point it looks like you're just trying to get outraged.
The amount of content I've seen on the front page endlessly crying and whining over these evil tankies far exceeds the amount of tankie content I've run across involuntarily, which remains at a staggering 0.
It's got big “And are these tankies in the room with us right now?” vibes tbh.
Not "overrun". Run, lemmy.ml specifically, as in the instance admins are tankies.
You're missing the point, hopefully not intentionally.
I don't think I'm missing the point actually, I'm aware the instance admins are tankies.
Like I said before, are these tankie admins flooding the instance with their tankie content? This hasn't been my experience at all but if that's your situation, you're free to just leave for any other place in the Fediverse that is defederated from lemmy.ml.
If you're not seeing tankie content by these admins, but simply the fact of them being tankies proves to be such a taxing moral challenge to you, the same as before applies. I know lots of people that went to Kbin specifically because they didn't want to deal with lemmy.ml admins and their values (personally I think this is a bit much but everyone is free to do as they please, I won't judge people who do it).
What I don't get is the “Ok Imma stay but I will be complaining the WHOLE TIME” mindset.
Nobody here besides you mentioned flooding or being overrun. You're attacking a strawman.
Then who cares if one instance has tankie admins? I hope that we have all kinds of admins hosting different instances.
There were cases of them deleting posts that critisced certain governments. Hence why I am on Lemmy.World and not that instance.
There are good reasons not to like/trust them outside of a "flood of content" those kinds of users don't go on ml they are on Lemmygrad and they are equally awful, which is why I am not on that instance.
Right, but that's the point. You don't have to like and trust them, as long as they aren't hurting your community, which, as best I can tell, they aren't. You can still federate with people you don't like, as long as you can trust them enough to not over run or hurt your communities.
Exploding heads was hurting communities, so that's different.
Because tankies are nazis and nazus are a bad thing?
Nazis may not be the best word here, but same kind of scum, yeah.
I didn't say they are flooding it, I presented the hypothetical case, as in “Are they flooding it? If yes A, if no then B” I hope that's within the boundaries of your reading comprehension.
If the answer is a No, as it was assumed with this question, then it leads right back to the second part of the comment you replied to.
What is the issue then? The fact itself of admins being tankies? If so, you can just leave and seek an instance that is defederated from lemmy.ml
Implying this comment section isn't a giant tankie strawman LMAO.
The Lemmy grad types defend right wing regimes. They’re just anti west.
Tankies are far right, though.
left wing and right wing are the wrong qualifiers here. even the two-dimensional political compass is oversimplified but the auth/lib axis is a hell of a lot more accurate in this case than the left/right axis. (and i'm not here to defend right wingers, but tankies specifically have this stick in their ass.)
but yes, tankie bullshit is the same as alt-right bullshit, just under a different flag, and a somewhat different plan on what to do with the world once they install their dictators and wipe the undesirables.
You are definitely mixing MLs up with nazbols.
All commies are either authoritarians or are living in a fantasy world
Not everything bad is right wing. Take your unsavory elements, stop acting like they belong with others.
These particular "leftists" are completely cool with Xi and Putin though.
Yeah, it's something else reading on a Lemmy instance, under a hammer and sickle how the worst thing Putin does is "transphobia". And how the west is doing lying propaganda because Kinzhal could never be intercepted by the inferior Patriot.
I despise them saying "oH bUt wHat aBoUt zElensky" whenever there are any posts about the Ukrainian-Russian war. Whataboutism at it's finest.
Unless they decide to sacrifice you for their ideas.
