Most of the content on the "tankie triad" is general left wing anti-us stuff. Occasionally they'll be some post praising China then some liberal will comment something about tianemen square or uyghurs, get banned , and then complain that the whole instance is full of genocide apologists.

It's not like there are regular posts praising Kim jung un or maduro like the liberals make it out to be. There are a decent amount shitting on liberals, like the reverse of this post, which perpetuates this dumb instance war. It'd be best if it stopped as were all "radical leftists" in The eyes of the rest of society and were gonna need some sort of solidarity to accomplish the 90% of things we agree on.

I had an account on .ml that I made a few years ago back when lemmy was in it's infancy, and I came on to actually use lemmy when shit hit the fan with the Reddit third party API thing so I had missed all of the shit leading up to the instance wars. I was fucking floored as to why so many people were hostile towards me and had someone call me a tankie over saying the US needed more gun control. Thats when I had had enough and switched instances with a new name. I dont understand most of the instance drama myself, people are not their instances and will have opinions regardless. I picked mine at random from a list.
