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.

First time I heard the term was probably from wandering into politicalcompassmemes but thought they were more of a punchline than an actual group. Then I made the mistake of signing up for lemmy.ml and realized I was surrounded. Read some pretty crazy copypastas claiming Tiananmen Square massacre never happened and it's all western propaganda. Seems like they're be happier in North Korea or something.

Yeah, i originally tried lemmy.ml thinking it to be the only lemmy instance, luckily i found lemmy.world.
