The shear amount of tankiness over on lemmy.ml is making me seriously consider leaving the platform.

i mean its literally .ml so im not sure exactly what you were expecting? except for most of the reddfugees being directed there, the core demographic is tankies. just use an instance more alligned with your values instead; i use slrpnk.net because well im an Anarcho-Solarist.

and if the tankie content really impacts your enjoyment of lemmy, just block offending users or communities.

What does the Republic of Mali, in Africa, have to do with a mostly Asian ideology?

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yeah it's the TLD for Mali. But I imagine Lemmy Devs chose it for Marxism-Leninism. The same way .io is for the British Indian Ocean Territory but is heavily used by tech companies.

Man I would have never guessed that, thanks mate.

I think that top level domain was free. So a little column A, a little column B.

What am I missing, why is .io desirable for tech companies?

fairly sure that isn't as obvious for most people as you think it is

People as deep into the ideology as people on here are think the dog whistles are signposts.

I'm on another instance but it's making me rather uncomfortable that a lot of the traffic is happening on an instance that seems like it's 90 CCP members and Russian trolls.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yeah thas just the consequence of that instance being linked in a lot of exodus posts... not much we can change but i assume itll equalize out as lemmy grows and people spread out to other instances. ofc that a lot of the communities are on .ml sucks but that too may change with future developments such as multi-community implementations.

Reddit had a huge amount of tankies that only lived on a handful of isolated subreddits.
It makes sense that they'd flock to the Lemmy where the FDQN literally stands for Marxist/Leninist.

I don't know about others but this hasn't been my experience. From what I've noticed a lot of left or left-leaning subreddits have been taken over by tankie mods.
I'm much happier with how kbin/lemmy/mastodon/etc work, at least this way I can choose my left/hard-left/left-leaning communities that I wish to interact with without them being controlled by tankies or other authoritarian flavors.

Why does this comment, and the one it's responding to show, up in 3 places?

Edit: I'm actually seeing this elsewhere too. Maybe it's quirk of cross communication between instances?

"everyone who disagrees is a russian troll/ccp paid shill" aight mate. Just get on beehaw and eventually they'll defederate from lemmy.ml too and you'll be good.
