I don't want all that drama, just want to browse dankmemes and retro games
Totally understandable. That’s the issue with echo chambers like lemmy.ml
They try to have normal communities to lure people in then bam, tankies everywhere and if you disagree you’re a racist bigot when all you were there for initially was innocent, apolitical memes.
I think they do it that way to indoctrinate people into their cult.
Just want to say that it's lemmygrad.ml that is the tankie one. lemmy.ml is the dev-hosted instance
Someone mentioned lemmygrad.ml earlier but I can’t say I’ve actually noticed it (browsing all on sh.itjust.works, if that matters).
Too often it happens that the first thing on my feed is some edgie endorsement for communism and it’s always lemmy.ml behind it.
Thanks for the details though. Makes sense.
There's a decent chance lemmygrad is defederated. For some reason browsing all on lemmy.world will occasionally pop up lemmygrad posts from a year or a few ago. Doesn't happen on sopuli.xyz, my second account tho.
Also, might just be a few tankie communities on Lemmy.ml then, not the whole instance.
I think it’s the meme community specifically I’ve been noticing.
So, you got me thinking why .ml at all? So I googled it lol. Lead me to a thread on Reddit (lol) explaining the differences between an ML and a tankie. Tl:dr Marxist-Leninists aren’t completely down with kissing the boot of big government but really resonate well with socialism.
I’m sure I explained that terribly but I guess I’m happy to know the difference.
What’s sopuli.xyz like? I think I’ve seen a few users from there.
Edit: nevermind. Rule 3 of sopuli.xyz tells me it’s more of the same. I’m sorry but if you need to make an entire rule mentioning Nazis and Qanon then it’s probably because you spend a lot of time calling people those things because it gives you an endorphin rush.
