Asking as there has been a few comments mentioning this with the new [email protected] taking over [email protected]
[email protected] for additional context on those recent events if you are interested
Also, an older post for more context on how lemmy.ml is managed: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417
Curious to hear other thoughts about this, as I’m trying to keep [email protected] active, but might suggest to move it elsewhere if a lot of people prefer not to interact with lemmy.ml communities
Yes. I’ll read the content, but I try to avoid interacting.
Mind you, db0 himself is a tankie, although he doesn’t seem to insist on imposing that on the users or communities on his instance.EDIT: I stand corrected. Apologies to db0 for lumping him in with that crowd.
Db0 is more anarchist than tankie. Quite a few threads on [email protected] complain about mod tripping from tankie mods or admins, they are still there. Shows that they don’t censor that topic, which is already an improvement
db0 is many things, but a tankie is not one of them
They explicitly say they’re not and I’ve had a number of interactions that suggest otherwise. Where are you getting this idea from?

Dafuq? I thinks that peep just uses “tankie” interchangeably with radical lefty or something. Ie they don’t know what they’re talking about
Most political slurs (“tankie”, “Nazi”, “fascist”, “communist”, “leftist”, “liberal”, “centrist”, etc.), if they ever even start from a position of actually knowing what the words mean, rapidly transform into a general slur that means “someone that I disagree with who’s in a different political tribe from me”.
