Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide or atrocity denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

You can still find the posts on the whole saga on Blahaj somewhere, but my recollection is that Blahaj users got harassed, Ada said something to the admins on Hexbear to try to resolve the issue, they either refused to do anything or went full no contact, and then when Blahaj voted to defederate, they defederated first before Blahaj could and then claimed that Blahaj users were transphobic towards their users and that Ada or any of the other admins never contacted them, etc.
Basically went "You can't block me if I block you first!" and then played the victim/transphobia card...against the instance largely created for trans people, by trans people.
