Edit: For context, @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com discovered that the developer of Tesseract had discretely banned numerous instances and disguised it as a server error. This included more heavily leftist instances, but also blahaj.zone. More recently, it was discovered that they had also been suppressing individual users, phrases, and communities that criticize power tripping on fedi.
Needless to say, I implore non blahaj.zone users to drop the Tesseract client (support for the client has already been dropped for blahaj). So called "liberals" like this who call out "extremism on both sides" are an insult to the values they claim to be upholding.
Tankies are neither communists nor anti-fascist no matter how often you say it. All I have to say, tankies will never achieve communism by centralizing power into the hands of a few party elites. That is virtually just an oligarchy with extra steps. Also you all seem to forget that Stalin first was against Hitler after Hitler betrayed him, but before that he was totally willing to cooperate with him (Ribbentrop-Molotov). Additionally, most "real existing socialist states" were/are just fascism painted with red aesthetics and calling themselves socialist. Also, tankies seem to attack socialists more than they actually attack the right and here on Lemmy, a lot of them feel like a psyop in favor of the far-right, because they only attack the left and the center. Like if you are as anti-fascist as you claim, then actually do something instead of constantly attacking the people who are against the far-right.
Like holy crap.
