Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Mine happened when i first made a reddit account, i got banned from a subreddit with a tankie moderator because i questioned the logic of having lenin as the subreddits profile, for a subreddit devoted to anti conservative memes.

you must have been on either lemmy.ml or lemmygrad, because lemmy.world is quite normal.

Did lemmy.world exist then?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

@Falmarri lemmy.world did not exist a few months ago if I recall correctly (or was too irelevant for me to notice it). It started taking off right after the Reddit migration.

The downvotes might be coming from lemmy.ml which lemmy.world federates with. But at least lemmy.world is blocking lemmygrad.

yes, you must have just used the wrong instance. i did that as well, because i got my start on lemmy.ml, but i moved here when i learned who ran it.
