Oh they're absolutely tankies, dessalines website is crystal clear on that. To me this is simply a test of the fediverse. If it works as intended, the devs political orientation shouldn't matter. We'll see.

That blue light thing is pseudo-science. Bodily activity though, yup, that's a big one.
It seems that those of us who look beyond the hype are a minority. Lemmy has potential but also serious problems. Bots are an obvious one, meta and co invading sooner or later is another. Tankies are something that we need to keep talking about and keep an eye on any politically influenced moderating, esp. on lemmy.ml
Indeed. Email is a good analogy to explain the federation principle, not to argue about the finer details. But going along with it, spam email is being blocked. Whole IP ranges are blocked ("defederated") by spam filters, because otherwise, good grief...
We absolutely do not need meta. The fediverse is doing just fine. There must be exactly zero tolerance for their likes. Nothing, absolutely nothing good can come from meta if you have been paying any attention at all. They do not benefit users, they milk them.
As the saying goes...
KILL IT BEFORE IT LAYS EGGS
I mean sure, good news is always welcome, but if I'm bombarded by a website by cookie request, download the app AND fullscreen newslettersignup popups... I'm out. Jesus christ.
The downvoting is part of the joke (:
Exactly. Those are the kinds of personalities that can commit atrocities.
At least lemmy wasn't started by tankies... oh wait.

I don't think reddit started out as a for profit company. iirc it started as some dudes sharing links. I knew a site like that back in the day. Link aggregator and forum made by one dude because he liked the community.
