I can tell you Lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml are not the same.
If anything, lemmy.ml is privacy/tech based more than anything, with disdain for capitalism.
They're not hardcore "AYE, COMRADE" like hexbear or lemmygrad, Jesus christ
NO??? ml was the first general purpose instance and so had the most amount of users at the beginning, meaning a lot of normal communities developed there
What does any of what was said have to do with the same people owning two different servers…
If being a tankie means thinking critically, addressing concerns in a topic of debate, and not generalizing strangers into groups (go figure coming from the ML defender squad 7 over here) then sign me up.
You couldn’t even bother to address the point you had to result to NAME CALLING just to feel intellectually superior.
There are communities around Lemmy dedicated to "just making lists" of leftists who also consider a middle school anarchist using an emote of Stalin as supporting genocide.
As far as I have been able to discern: a lot of reddit transplants got called nazis by established lemmy communities, so there's kind of this whole weird internal Lemmy movement to try define 'tankie' as widely and negatively as 'nazi'.
I mean, you'd think OP would know what instances they would want to block from, you know, using Lemmy. They seem to know what is 'cringe', but want or need that anti-leftist qualifier for good measure.
