The tankie triad

making a bunch of forums seem so dark and mysterious

have you considered that some of us are just silly goofy girls

catgirl-sorry

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 83 points 1 month ago

I will never understand how you would defend an instance that is not only deep in genocide denial and praise of authoritarian regimes.

But also one whose head admin (and main Lemmy dev unfortunately) is a transphobe

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago

Transphobia is only unacceptable when it's SHITLIBS who can be accused of it.

I am transfixed by their new obsession with women’s sports.

Remember when the WNBA was a punchline on Futurama? Where were these assholes then?

It's way more fun to pretend hexbear and .ml are super dark and scary than to admit what they mostly actually are: leftist memes and shit posting.

Notice Beehaw's not on the "good" list anymore? Wonder why they're not on there...

[-] Gormadt 49 points 1 month ago

I think Beehaw isn't on the good list here because the account that shared the meme is on Lemmy World which isn't federated with Beehaw.

So it's a lack of knowledge of the users that left it off not any nefarious intent.

But that's my 2 cents.

No mention of dbzer0. com anywhere in the meme or text? To any newcomers, if you wouldn't download a car then you don't need to know about that instance.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

Lol I made the original meme and text, I kinda just brain dumped the instances from the top of my head, the hope was others would chime in with their fav instances/comms and add to the list

From what I can tell, this tankie stuff is bullshit. In the years I've been here, I've seen close to zero 'tankie' content from any of these supposedly tankie instances. There's like maybe one or two people on those instances who might fit the description if you search for them. Meanwhile, literally every day there are posts spitting on these supposed tankie instances. (And actually, it's again a very small number of people complaining - but they put their crap into cute memes to get traction).

I don't like the idea of shouting slurs at entire instances. In my view, if you hate those instances so much - just block them. Problem solved. No need to spew hate all over lemmy.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 month ago

You have to remember, the people making the tankie accusations consider anyone to the left of Joe Biden a tankie.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 month ago

When hexbear federatedn with SJW, I spent a day arguing Russia invading is bad actually, North Korea isn't a democratic utopia, and China isn't a shining pillar of socialism. Then I blocked them all because that was exhausting. So idk if hexbear is still so tankie, but they definitely were at that point.

[-] gerryflap@feddit.nl 28 points 1 month ago

I have a very different experience. When Hexbear was still federated with the large instances it was total mayhem. They would turn every thread political, constantly spam images of dictators like Stalin and Mao, and swarm anyone who disagreed. I've seen them deny the wrongdoings of China and the Soviet Union quite often, which is probably also what's necessary if you spam Mao and Stalin unironically.

I'm quite left of center myself, at least relative to most people I know in real life. But these people seemed totally insane. It was probably also a numbers game, since Hexbear was relatively large at the time compared to basically every other instance. So maybe this was just an annoying minority. But nevertheless I'd never purposefully go there, and I'd recommend anyone to stay away. It's way better than for instance a Trumpist/far-right instance, but I'd rather avoid both.

I see calling people "tankies" is the "woke" of the Fediverse.

[-] loaf@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 month ago

Nah, they're authoritarian genocide deniers.

The opposite of woke.

Yeah I'm a bit lost on why someone's instance automatically = their entire identity. Wouldn't that means 1) technically we are all tankies on a tankie platform and 2) I need to start learning Finnish?

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Lemmy.ml admins remove content critical of the CCP, and similar things. The admins of most other instances don't do that shit.

Grad is much the same, while Hexbear is just 4chan for Stalinists.

This seems like an odd message considering that Lemmy, as software, is being praised here; and what is being criticized are instances wherein the admins enforce apologism for authoritarian regimes.

Looks at the lemmy devs on GitHub

All them use lemmy.ml

lemmy.world in shambles

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 58 points 1 month ago

Lemmy.ml is the original instance and the dev instance. I joined it because there was literally no alternative at the time. It's pretty annoying being called a tankie left and right because of this

"Tankie Triad?" Really? This is just McCarthyian LARPing, you don't have to constantly saber-rattle towards the Marxist-friendly instances.

[-] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 39 points 1 month ago

Hopefully .world will serve as a quarantine instance for all the cringe-ass former redditors who love strawmen and reductionism and lame as fuck sayings like "tankie triad" and "narwhal bacon"

In the past week I caught a 7 day ban for "misinformation" (x3, then for reposting a link to the mod logs, "skirting the rules", "repeated offenses" etc.) from /c/WorldNews for accusing Democrats of being complicit in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. An actual fact - tens of billions of dollars in arms sent to an ongoing genocide/ethnic cleansing by Biden. No problems like that on lemmy.ml. That really says it all for me. Lemmy's basically just a fediverse reddit, with the same mod structure - if mods abuse their power, and admins don't keep them in check, it's time to ditch the instance.

By the way, Lemmy itself was created by Dessalines, the admin of lemmy.ml. Who I collaborated with briefly on building some of the UI that you're using right now to read this. Very thorough guy.

Love everything about reddit but inexplicably wish to leave it?

Hate the idea of an english speaking internet that doesn't slavishly adhere to the party line of the US alphabet agencies?

Do you think the parable of the nazi bar is bunch of hokum?

Do you have shrieking anger towards people who refused to support genocide while having shrieking anger at (usually the same) people rejecting decades long debunked accusations of genocide made by the perpetrators of aforementioned genocide?

Join the lemmyverse! We have racism! We have homophobia! We have trans misogyny! We have daily 5 minutes hate!

And if anyone tells you different, have you considered they're a paid shill by the notorious gay sex haver Putler??

OMG. I just discovered Lemmy yesterday after being a Redditor for a decade. I deleted my Reddit account after the insane level of suppression I've endured over the past year and was all set to go cold turkey when I found out about Lemmy! Praise the sweet lil' six pound, eight ounce baby Jesus!!

It's not propaganda if it comes from the USA!

[-] hungryphrog 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

What's your point here? Are you automatically assuming that only because I'm against China, NK and Russia (mainly because the latter would gladly bomb my home any given moment and the former two would hand over weapons), I somehow think America is an angel that hasn't been violating human rights since forever?

Oh hey this looks familiar LMAO

Before the tankies come in here

Their calls of unity and accusations of division are false, they're Authoritarian "leftists" who deny anything bad of the CCP, Russia and NK from human rights violations to genocides and any evidence of said acts is nothing but "CIA/Western propaganda"

Tankies are not socialists, they're not communists, they're authoritarians, full stop.
