People who’ve gone so far left they’ve come full circle and gone fascist and admire authoritarian communist regimes like China and the USSR. Like flat earthers I thought they were a made up joke until I started seeing a while bunch of unironic “Stalin did nothing wrong” type commentary.
I think a better question is “where are these tankies?” because I keep seeing people talk about them on these kinds of posts and have yet to actually see a tankie. Who here is defending the killing of POWs? You’d think they exist based on some of the posts here calling out this strawman.
They can still post on communities here and I’ve definitely seen users from lemmygrad post in communities here, but I’ve never seen actual tankie rhetoric. What I do see are many here claiming that the tankies are rampant but nothing to actually back that up. Is pointing to lemmygrad like how some people point to Chicago or Detroit and make broad generalizations?
I had to switch instances to one that defederated from Hexbear because there would be hundreds of comments from them with a few tankies posting dozens of comments. It’s real. You’re just not seeing it due to the defederation.
If you’re defederated you won’t see their comments.
What are tankies?
misguided people who simp for dictators and war criminals just because they oppose the west
no downvote? Not sure they are here
They were here last night in a downvote brigade, so I’m sure they’ll find this thread eventually.
yeah it seems like I was a bit optimistic

Oh to be innocent again

They’re on Lemmygrad which lemmyworld defederated from.
Their communities have been defederated from .world which is why you don’t see them.

Creators of Lemmy are tankies. Lemmy.world defederated from their lemmygrad instance but lemmy.ml is still there unfortunately.
What’s wrong with lemmy.ml?
Same owners as lemmygrad.
