    Could anyone please add more context? I see some reddit user spewing some bullshit, but how do we know that’s Dessalines? Genuine question…

        The irony that he started lemmy because he got a ban and then does the same shit on his own platform.

          Power corrupts but as others have said, the joke is on them as it is decentralized and no longer theirs. They just helped start it.

            I think that was intended

            There’s a section in the install docs about how Lemmy is designed to be anti censorship and for the people, and I think this lines up with the devs’ values

              This leads me to think that the dev has very good intentions, but is supremely blind to his biases.

                  Yeah. Pretty much. Except his blindness is making him justify a genocidal regime.

          Using their own creation against them is poetic justice though. Nothing stopping anyone from forking the backend either.

                Nah, just Lemmygrad and Hexbear, but if it gets too annoying I’ll find one that is. I’ve gotten no pushbacks criticizing Marx, Lenin, or Stalin there, personally speaking.

                  lemm.ee is the opposite (doesn’t defed from them) and pretty liberal-minded for anybody looking for that.

        Raddle isn’t an option obviously since it’s run by this arch anti tankie scum, ziq.

        I don’t see how that essay is about-- oh, ziq is the author. Ohhh this asshole thinks that’s a bad thing.

        … should we have been on Raddle?

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!


What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)


Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don’t be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You’ll be warned if you’re violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
