So lemmy.world is tankie for being federated with ML?

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

No, because lemmy.world regularly pushes back against Tankies. Db0 defends them, and even supports their views, such as genocide denialism.

It really depends who you’re talking about really.

fxomt and cryptagion are quite far from tankies.

I’ve posted plenty of anti-tankie memes in !flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and got comments of support from dbzer0 himself.

So I think your whole characterisation is lacking a bit of nuance.

Fxomt upvotes Uyghur genocide denial and openly praises Soviet apologists and Hexbear.

Many of the outright genocide-denialist comments there are highly upvoted.

Here's an experiment for you then. Go into a post that's critical of tankies or communsim and ping Devals, Cowabee, Diva or the multitude of tankies. See what happens. Watch as your instance bends over for them.

Ping them. I already made a nice, attractive Tiananmen Square massacre. They love denying that, or rather you also love denying that, being a tankie.

The tiananmen square massacre happened.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

no shit it happened. Go and convince your tankie ilk that it happened and that China was authoritarian.
