    Lemmy was better before the Reddit exodus last year, when people started insulting others by calling them tankies and fascists. Before that, it was much more peaceful.

        No chance that is an alt account?

          No chance whatsoever to hold alternate accounts on this federated social media website that are all incapable of account consolidation and OTP validation like reddit can /s

      They were tankies and fascists before anyone ever came here and found out that they were.

      Calling them such didn’t create them.

      Basically… A tankie isn’t not a tankie just because theres no one there to accuse them of being one.
