honestly idk why dbzero isn't part of the tankie triad. They have just as many insane takes and they're crawling with either tankie alts or sympathizers who think they deserve to consume other people's work for free. It's hell because unlike the triad, no one seems to really defederate from them despite their unapologetically alt-left views.
And this right here is why anyone remotely on the left should be pushing back against this "tankie" nonsense, because if .ml gets defederated, dbzero will be the new tankies (even though it's an anarchist instance lmao) and if they get defederated, who knows, maybe it'll be .ee next, and so on until you can't say, "I'm voting democrat, but it kinda seems like Biden's in poor health" without getting called a tankie (though I'm pretty sure that already happened lol).
We're basically the tanks (lmao) pulling aggro away from more moderate leftists.
If db0 was added to the tankie triad it wouldn’t be a triad anymore
db0 is an anarchist not a communist. Lemmy world has some tankie users too, but it’s clearly moderated to be a liberal instance and that’s why the majority of users there are liberal. .ml has plenty of liberal users too, but it’s still tankie. The tankie triad is based on the admins, not users
dbzer0 is anti-copyright and anarchist.
sure if you’re a capitalist that might seem weird.
But it’s not like they are denying genocides and simping for mass murderers à la Hexbear or Lemmygrad.
(Being anarchist makes them pretty much the opposite of the authoritarian leninism popular in Grad and Hexbear. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some Leninists on dbzer0, but they aren’t the demographic the server is catering to)
The main thing with db0 as opposed to other instances is that it:
a) also caters to another crowd (FOSS enthusiasts)
b) doesn't suffer (at least from whay I've seen) from censorship problems. Db0, the owner, isn't auth far left (tankie) but anarchist and seems pretty reasonable.
c) Actually has a sign-up process (which means fewer people choose it)
d) Has a lot of big comms in software due to early arrival and not doing stupid things.
I myself have an acc there, mostly due to foss interest.
