@the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world in response to your comment, it was not a mod, it was head lemmy.ml instance admin themselves that removed all those comments. This is what tankies do, be sure to check the megathread for even more documentation.

    I don’t get why are people OK with Lemmy as a product when the dev/mod is asshole like this. It boggles my mind when there are SW projects dismissed as trash (and people are hated for using those) because the dev is homophobic, xenophobic or far right, but when it’s tankie/marxist/stalinist, it’s somehow OK to still use the software?

    I’m so glad there’s alternative, either piefed or mbin.

    EDIT: I might be biased a little bit as my country experienced four decades of socialist “experiment”, twenty years of those being active Soviet occupation…
