Here's an experiment for you then. Go into a post that's critical of tankies or communsim and ping Devals, Cowabee, Diva or the multitude of tankies. See what happens. Watch as your instance bends over for them.
If you told me that Uyghur genocide denial and Holodomor denial would be given a pass by Dbzer0 admins a year ago, I would've looked at you like you'd grown three heads. Yet here they are now, in addition to simping for people who claim that the Soviet Union was True Democracy(tm) and denying UN-verified sexual assault because it was against 'bad camp'.
also applies to tankies, but db0 are tankies anyway lol
I think it’s better to name names. Calling a whole instance especially one that’s pretty diverse like Dbzer0 tankies is a bit much.
I mean we literally have a tankiejerk there !tankiejerk@lemmy.dbzer0.com
(moved to anarchist.nexus recently which is essentially dbzer0 on piefed)
!tankiejerk@anarchist.nexus
Like here’s how dbzer0 reacted to my anti-uyghur genocide denial meme https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/19511364
Db0 and the admins are okay with Devals, Cowabees, Diva, and other tankies spreading misinformation. They also engage in it themselves.
They are tankies. Your linked community isn't even active.
It sounds like you didn’t read my whole comment but okay.
I did.
Nazi bar anecdote. If you're serving tankies, you're a tankie.
So lemmy.world is tankie for being federated with ML?
No, because lemmy.world regularly pushes back against Tankies. Db0 defends them, and even supports their views, such as genocide denialism.
It really depends who you’re talking about really.
fxomt and cryptagion are quite far from tankies.
I’ve posted plenty of anti-tankie memes in !flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and got comments of support from dbzer0 himself.
So I think your whole characterisation is lacking a bit of nuance.

Anyways. This convo doesn’t seem particularly fruitful. So I’m gonna disengage I think.
Fxomt upvotes Uyghur genocide denial and openly praises Soviet apologists and Hexbear.
Many of the outright genocide-denialist comments there are highly upvoted.

Ping them. I already made a nice, attractive Tiananmen Square massacre. They love denying that, or rather you also love denying that, being a tankie.
The tiananmen square massacre happened.
no shit it happened. Go and convince your tankie ilk that it happened and that China was authoritarian.

There's some users who don't. Tankie bar.
Lemmy world spent the last two years manufacturing consent for a genocide
If you repeat genocidal propaganda, you're a genocider
Tankie apologists anymore, sadly.

I use the nazi bar anecdote. If they're willing to house Davel, Cowabee, Diva and other tankies, then they themselves can be called tankies.
Db0 -- the bar for authoritarians
But that's what anarchists usually end up as, coddling up to authoritarianism and too afraid to speak out against it.
Yeah genocide is very bad.
Unless it's election time ofc. Then it's just harm reduction, really
