Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

A few years ago, the Lemmy Developers decided to keep their political views on lemmygrad while keeping lemmy.ml more neutral. Now they are banning users who are critical of their actions and bigotry.

Anti-Tankie posts may put you at risk of being banned from commenting and posting on the lemmy.ml instance.

They chose to defederate because people kept dissenting against their abhorrent hate-speech.

No one is allowed in their community anyway, to post, you need to pass a vetting process.

I’ve been told “just go over there and look at the horrors” only to go and not see the horrors that are claimed to be there. Cherry picking bad posts doesn’t prove anything as the vast majority of posts are not like that, and I know this because I’ve gone and checked multiple times now.

That's why this community and MeanwhileOnGrad exist, to highlight the extremism and bigotry. Nor is it cherry-picking when it's posted by the admins and prominent users of the instance.
