Went both looking for fellow tankies and seeing who I should be blocking on Mastodon by looking at the hashtag #tankies.
It gave me brain damage and I also found a few of these "lemmy is made by tankies, ewww can't use it"-posts that I had never seen before. So sharing these for our mutual enjoyment:
Also just the general vibe of the posts with this tag is just so hostile. We really live rent free in these peoples heads. Interesting how so many of these were ukraine flag or isntreal flag profiles too, also a few anne applebaum replies, because of course.
The vibe is pretty much whatever this drivel is by a true communism understander:
Many people on giant general instances like mastodon.social are people from Twitter. Queer instances and their environment are better with this, but not perfect, still - there are posts that tell "
", but you do have people who are at least receptive of communist topics and do see how fucked up the world is right now. Many identify as "anarchist", but some people do put "marxist" or "socialist" or "communist".
