It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on?

MODERATORS
the hard-line social democrats all started migrating because communists upset them. I'm an anarchist and don't mind it so I'm still here
Nah, you're a tankie.
You can easily find Anarchists on PieFed either on Quokk.au or Anarchist.Nexus though for anyone who wants to join us.
Why is that supposed to be an insult, I know nothing of tankie But was called one a couple days ago
Tankies are people who supported the use of tanks to attack the civilian protests against the USSR in Hungary and later Czechoslovakia. That became the default term for anyone who supports brutal authoritarian states that suppress the people to assert their control. In modern day context a tankie would be someone who blames Ukraine for being invaded and denies the genocide of the Uyghurs.
Some rightwing/centrists like to use it to insult any leftist. You can just ignore those ones.
I appreciate you for taking the time to explain this to me, mostly sounds like a term people used to other other people
It’s more of a term to point out that someone is the left equivalent of a Neo Nazi.
Pretty much it’s a thought-terminating othering. To label someone a tankie is to give license for prejudicially dismissing them.
I agree 100%, also it reminded me of This Clanker
name calling is pretty rude, believe it or not it's possible to be an anarchist and not use one of your instances. for me I find plenty of other anarchists in my day to day organizing, separate from the internet
oh, noted
That's partially true, but not all true at all. Piefed development is way faster currently than Lemmy.
Were they hard-line demsocs, or were they really just “progressive” liberals?
