Lemmy was originally built by and for tankies, so this is completely unsurprising. The .ml TLD on the original instance isn't a coincidence.
Lemmygrad was literally made to be an even more mask off .ml
Weird they made a decentralized platform for one single group.
They made it for themselves but let us set up instances outside of their control due to their morals that software should be open for all. Again proving the best open source software comes from scratching a personal itch.
Of course it’s OUR SOFTWARE
(cue soviet anthem)

Which one? I choose The Internationale.
Off-topic, but the Starlight Glimmer art is on the point so well.
Starlight is one of the best representations of the Tankie IMO.
And the writers had the guts to pull it off in a show meant for a 5yo.
That’s impressive honestly.
Kinda. S5 GlimGlam? Yes. S6? Nah.
The problem was childhood-trauma-induced fake-smiles-forcing cutiemark-taking with propaganda. Remove it and what remains isn't bad. Doesn't seem to be much different from ideology of other places.
As an example from first season there is Winter Wrap-up, which is basically annual subbotnik.
That’s true, now that I think about it. But I still think the writers nailed the mindset in S5.
The final battle between Starlight and Twilight was epic for the lack of a better word.
How authoritarian of them
It was never closed to non-tankies, but it wasn't very welcoming. I had an account on .ml early on and most of the time I got hammered with downvotes, despite having opinions that I'd describe as being on the left edge of liberalism.
To be clear, the left edge of liberalism is bernie sanders. Is that what youre saying?
Meh, I'd say Bernie is either a social democrat or a reformist socialist who hides his power level.
He's a self described democratic socialist
Correct, but I'm pretty sure he said he doesn't want to completely socialize the economy.
By US standards maybe, but I'm to the left of that.
Some members of LDPR(e.g. Furgal) seem to be more left than Bernie. And LDPR is former LDPSU - first right-wing party of USSR. Or some members of Union of Right Forces.
Not corporate neofeudalist is better than corporate neofeudalist, which is improvement for US. But I can't say he is on edge even of liberalism.
Downvotes are federated.
Yeah but this was 3 years ago, Lemmy was basically only the .ml instance at that time.
It's almost like the dishonest nature is built into their every move.
CTH has been eradicated from every platform it's arisen on, then they built Lemmy.
That is enlightening and not very surprising.
