What are you talking about? Any links?

I'm not disagreeing, I just haven't heard this about Lemmy yet

.ml is a tankie instance. The main Lemmy dev is an admin on there, and is definitely a tankie.

His username is also a fascist dictator, iirc.

Eh, it's more complicated, it's a Haitian revolutionary and the first emperor of Haiti post-revolution. (Functionally a dictatorship)

He killed most of the remaining colonists, enforced plantation labor, and was overthrown after like 2-3 years, but a lot of haiti now remembers him mostly for abolishing slavery and there's a lot of revisionism or justification for his worse acts.

So like its hard to know what someone who likes him knows / thinks about him.

"abolished slavery", "enforced plantation labor"

uh... this really sounds like one of those "pick one" moments.
