I don't know if this is the right community, if it isn't warn me and I'll move the post!

So I saw a meme about piracy on reddit (apparently a tankie HQ) and I wanted to share it on the biggest piracy instance on the fediverse, with good intentions I post, it gets some replies, but the funny thing is I can't reply as the post has been removed by the admins of that instance.

I couldn't care less, it's just a low-quality meme, in fact I'm amused more than I'm sad. These libs are doing what the US state dept was doing during the cold war FOR FREE!

I hope you all can share my amusement at the fact that apparently all it takes nowadays to be called a tankie is to be against big tech and to post from a mainstream instance. You don't even have to be a communist, it's full paranoia on their part at this point.

The meme in question, nothing "tankie" about it as far as I can tell.

Edit: btw the community about censorship on lemmy has been.... Eliminated

I guarantee it's because of the word "privileged", what a bunch of absolute babies. A lot of db0 users are cool but their admins are so fuckin libertarian-brained. Hey jackasses, it's not "tankie" to point out that if you spend a large amount of your time browsing an internet forum you are probably decently well off in life. Also the meme is making fun of people who are anti-piracy! Its on your side!!
