Is Lemmy.ml really that bad? I haven't spent enough time on lemmy to know yet.

[-] verdigris@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, if you're pathologically afraid of actual communist theory.

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

[-] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 0 points 2 weeks ago

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@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I thought Beehaw defederated from everyone else during the first mass reddit migration in 2023. It's not surprising not a lot of people know about them.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks 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 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

Looks at the lemmy devs on GitHub

All them use lemmy.ml

lemmy.world in shambles

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks 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

[-] aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

It's also because the devs are communists. Let's not skip that part lol

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Communist is not the same as tankie. Lemmy probably wouldn't exist if the devs weren't communist

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

They sensor criticism of the CCP

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, they're only not the same because "tankie" is so broadly defined that it also includes anarchists and non-western liberals.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago

No it doesn't.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The f-slur is defined as referring to gay men, but people also use it to insult straight men by suggesting that they're gay. In the same way, "tankie" may be defined as a particular type of communist, but it is deployed against people who don't fit the definition to imply that they do.

This is how basically all insults work, don't play dumb. The definition is something assumed to be bad, and the way it's used is to suggest the person meets that definition.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago

"tankie" is so broadly defined that it also includes anarchists and non-western liberals.

I'm referring to what they said, not some other insult.

I have to ask, are shitlibs aware that Wikipedia isn't divine gospel, and that there are other works in the history of humanity? Because it seems to inevitably be their one and only go to, which is particularly embarrassing given that even a middle school teacher could tell you that it's not a good source. Even worse, it doesn't' even back up your claim!

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

I get more and more liberal every time I see some self-described leftist call people a shitlib because they’re slightly right of Pol Pit or whatever.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Pol Pot defenders pretty much only exist on Reddit, Gonzaloism is near universally hated by all of Lemmy's Marxist-aligned instances.

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.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks 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 1 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

I’m quite left of center myself

lol, every time.

[-] gerryflap@feddit.nl 0 points 2 weeks ago

I'm aware that to the far left everyone who doesn't want to abolish capitalism is considered right wing. I mean the normal (Dutch) political spectrum. Social democratic

I'm jealous, I keep seeing them everywhere. As for the blocking, I've tried to block .ml several times but for some reason it hasn't worked. -_-
