ARE TANKIES CONSPIRING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BAD TIME ON LEMMY.ML?

!asklemmy@lemmy.ml - ARE YOU A TANKIE? - informal poll results ~

😱

A ridiculous question. “Tankie” isn’t a term anyone self-identifies with, it’s mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term “tankie” itself.

ARE TANKIES TAKING CONSPIRING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BAD TIME ON LEMMY.ML ??

HEXBEAR.NET

DOES THE WORK FOR YOU!!

WE ASKED !asklemmy@lemmy.ml ARE YOU A TANKIE?

First stack of pie charts shows the yes / no split, highlights that the lemmy.ml yes responses made up less than half of the yes votes, hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml only made up a small portion, some hexbear-ians even vote no
second and third pie charts show the yes votes, and no votes by instance respectively
third stacked pie chart shows the yes / no split by instance, overlay-ed with the total yes / no votes

only top level comments were counted
tankies are closer than they appear
Deeply unserious
NDTS

this was fun, thanks for the polling idea, Kristina (I spent too long on these charts because yours looked so spiffy, I hope you specifically are impressed lol), solidarity cleaning that data up, and general reminder people only half read anything before launching into a diatribe

tl:dr yes, tankies are totally conspiring to make sure you have a bad time on lemmy.ml

specter

„no” answers from hexbear

:disgost:

no „no” answers from lemmygrad

tankies stay winning :doug-clap:
- 4 Temporally embarressed liberals.
- Same amount of "yes" from hexbear and .world ಠ_ಠ
- I considered listing them all as yes as per the lemmy.world standards haha
- My answer was something like "yes according to you buuuuut" and then an essay. I wonder which instances had the most essays written?
I only have an .ml account because I want to be able to yell at libs on .world while also shitposting on the good instances when I'm bored of yelling at libs.
- Same, comrade!
- I'm on ml instead of hexbear because I like legend of Korra too much and fear what they'd do to me
As a tankie I can say that few things bring me more joy than ruining a lib's day, since they spend every waking moment trying to ruin my actual life. So yes I am definitely trying to make sure they have a bad time online
I wonder, was my vote counted? I said "maybe" purely to go on to talk about how "Tankie" is just a moving target and doesn't actually have a hard underlying meaning. Yes, I am a recovering debate pervert 🫠

Edit: Entirely unsurprising that Lemmy.world has such an anticommunist slant overall. When you censor Marxists and make friends with Anticommunists, you shouldn't be surprised that there are more Zionists and fascists among you.

The Hexbear results are surprising, though.
- The Hexbear results are surprising, though.
  
  Plenty of anarchists there. And lots of anarchists despise "tankies", I've seen numerous profiles on fedi with "tankies fuck off" but none with "anarchists fuck off"
  
  I've seen Anarchists called Tankies, lol. It's meaningless.
- I have your comment as a 'yes', I wasnt being overly rigorous. Remember comrades, a maybe means no. Although considering the seriousness I think a maybe can be a yes here.
  
  That's fine by me, just curious how it was counted. Thanks, comrade!
- The hexbear users that voted no are likely to be joking
  
  I wasn’t joking. I stand by my comment.
hexbear-ians even vote no
⁕ LATEST FAD
Now combine these graphs with our cishet and trans survey. The trans tankie queers are conspiring to bully me
LMAOOOOOOOOOO HEXBEAR HAD 3 YES VOTES AND 4 NOs

That would make libs heads fuckin explode if they actually understood the words they are using.
This has incredible presentation to be honest I want you to make more shit like this.
- Thank you! This took me the better part of an afternoon haha
  
  I miss my data job
I just care about water conservation 🤷‍♀️
- Based af 🏞️
- I support the revolution that feeds the children.
I'm not sure if my very ironic "no" on an .ml account was counted as a no or yes.
- I think some .ml / .ee have accounts and voted no. This is -land. /s but probably not /s but /s to be /safe.
This is what it feels like to be the greaser bullies in the leather jackets.
:order-of-lenin: brilliant investigative journalism here
I'm sure it's my own stupidity, but I simply cannot understand how that big donut works. Why is one layer an everything/hexbear/lemmygrad and another is an everything/lemmy.ml tier??? I understand the others, at least, so I promise I'm not too far gone.
my astral projections must be working
Liberals don't even know what the word conspire means lol
Sick graphs yo
im having a bad time seeing that font.
- Unless you mean the chart labels, the majority of the text is in the post body, sorry though, I picked a silly font because it's a silly post, it shoudnt be used for that much text
  
  don't worry about it i was just joking, although that is an ugly ass font.
thank you sean mcelwee
No matter how many times I read the words on the image, for the life of me I can’t make out what it says.

Where does “does the work for you” fit into this?

Am I supposed to read the Hexbear logo as part of the text?
