Wow that’s super interesting. I just signed up for Lemmy last month and I just googled what to sign up for and .Ml was the first one that came up. Fuck tankies and fuck commies so I guess I’m definitely going to get lumped into them for now. Oh well
Yeah but 98% of the self identified communists you find on Lemmy are actually just Tankies. Part of it is that most reasonable folk would rather call themselves a democratic socialist than a communist, as the latter has become entrenched in the philosophy of the USSR.

Oh wow, I guess I’m on the same boat then. Signed up on the first instance I found back when reddit announced the API changes and did not realize.
See my stupid username? I signed up to 3 instances one of them the insufferable tankie hellhole called ML
…said the citizen whose decaying world is governed by the sworn enemies of communism: fascists.
It’s almost like fascism and communism are both bad and being a true neutral Chad is the only way forward in life. Grill baby grill
Really committed to the bit, I see
Nah commies are cool, tankies aren’t
There is no form of commie in the world that libs won’t decry as a tankie anyway. Don’t bother playing into the word games.
Yea there is, the ones who don’t glorify and call brutal dictators “silly boy”
Believe it or not there are communists that aren’t authoritarian bootlickers. I feel bad for them having to overcome the tankies image problem
