Hopefully this defuses the "lemmy is a tankie network" rumour once and for all
I've never heard of that. Where did that rumor come from?
Here are some mod logs from lemmy.ml (which is an instance run by the Lemmy devs) from a few years ago: https://raddle.me/f/TankiesGonnaTank/89852/the-lemmy-ml-admin-is-banning-anyone-that-mentions-stalin-or
Here's one of the Lemmy devs (you can tell it's them from their profile activity) denying genocide: https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/xq49ct/deleted_by_user/iq954mu/
Insisting that fascists are good, actually not fascists at all, as long as their nationalism makes them oppose the US (because the enemy of my enemy is a totally good guy!): https://old.reddit.com/r/DebateCommunism/comments/vgg2x3/thoughts_on_slavoj_zizek/id2cxb8/
There's more here: https://raddle.me/f/lobby/159606/-/comment/294792
Where did they say that? Are you just counting on people not reading the shit you're linking?
I don't expect good faith engagement from people who go around slandering others like this but this is a new low.
Users left Reddit but brought with them the horrible attitude that contributed to ruining that site...
