[email protected] - ARE YOU A TANKIE? - informal poll results ~

😱A ridiculous question. “Tankie” isn’t a term anyone self-identifies with, it’s mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term “tankie” itself.

ARE TANKIES TAKING CONSPIRING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BAD TIME ON LEMMY.ML ??

HEXBEAR.NET

DOES THE WORK FOR YOU!!

WE ASKED [email protected] ARE YOU A TANKIE?

First stack of pie charts shows the yes / no split, highlights that the lemmy.ml yes responses made up less than half of the yes votes, hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml only made up a small portion, some hexbear-ians even vote no
second and third pie charts show the yes votes, and no votes by instance respectively
third stacked pie chart shows the yes / no split by instance, overlay-ed with the total yes / no votes

only top level comments were counted
tankies are closer than they appear
Deeply unserious
NDTS

this was fun, thanks for the polling idea, Kristina (I spent too long on these charts because yours looked so spiffy, I hope you specifically are impressed lol), solidarity cleaning that data up, and general reminder people only half read anything before launching into a diatribe

tl:dr yes, tankies are totally conspiring to make sure you have a bad time on lemmy.ml

Same amount of "yes" from hexbear and .world ಠ_ಠ

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I considered listing them all as yes as per the lemmy.world standards haha

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My answer was something like "yes according to you buuuuut" and then an essay. I wonder which instances had the most essays written?

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

I only have an .ml account because I want to be able to yell at libs on .world while also shitposting on the good instances when I'm bored of yelling at libs.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Same, comrade!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm on ml instead of hexbear because I like legend of Korra too much and fear what they'd do to me

You'll never take me alive copper

[-] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

As a tankie I can say that few things bring me more joy than ruining a lib's day, since they spend every waking moment trying to ruin my actual life. So yes I am definitely trying to make sure they have a bad time online

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I wonder, was my vote counted? I said "maybe" purely to go on to talk about how "Tankie" is just a moving target and doesn't actually have a hard underlying meaning. Yes, I am a recovering debate pervert 🫠

Edit: Entirely unsurprising that Lemmy.world has such an anticommunist slant overall. When you censor Marxists and make friends with Anticommunists, you shouldn't be surprised that there are more Zionists and fascists among you.

The Hexbear results are surprising, though.

The Hexbear results are surprising, though.

Plenty of anarchists there. And lots of anarchists despise "tankies", I've seen numerous profiles on fedi with "tankies fuck off" but none with "anarchists fuck off"

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

I've seen Anarchists called Tankies, lol. It's meaningless.

Truly the modern "pinko!"

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I have your comment as a 'yes', I wasnt being overly rigorous. Remember comrades, a maybe means no. Although considering the seriousness I think a maybe can be a yes here.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

That's fine by me, just curious how it was counted. Thanks, comrade!

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Thanks for playing :)

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

The hexbear users that voted no are likely to be joking

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I wasn’t joking. I stand by my comment.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

hexbear-ians even vote no

lea-ugh gulag

LATEST FAD

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

LMAOOOOOOOOOO HEXBEAR HAD 3 YES VOTES AND 4 NOs

That would make libs heads fuckin explode if they actually understood the words they are using.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Now combine these graphs with our cishet and trans survey. The trans tankie queers are conspiring to bully me kitty-cri-screm

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

This has incredible presentation to be honest I want you to make more shit like this.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Thank you! This took me the better part of an afternoon haha

I miss my data job

I'm not sure if my very ironic "no" on an .ml account was counted as a no or yes.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think some .ml / .ee have logo accounts and voted no. This is capabara-tank-land. /s but probably not /s but /s to be /safe.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

This is what it feels like to be the greaser bullies in the leather jackets.

I'm sure it's my own stupidity, but I simply cannot understand how that big donut works. Why is one layer an everything/hexbear/lemmygrad and another is an everything/lemmy.ml tier??? I understand the others, at least, so I promise I'm not too far gone.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Liberals don't even know what the word conspire means lol

Sick graphs yo

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

im having a bad time seeing that font.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Unless you mean the chart labels, the majority of the text is in the post body, sorry though, I picked a silly font because it's a silly post, it shoudnt be used for that much text

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

don't worry about it i was just joking, although that is an ugly ass font.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

thank you sean mcelwee

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No matter how many times I read the words on the image, for the life of me I can’t make out what it says.

Where does “does the work for you” fit into this?

Am I supposed to read the Hexbear logo as part of the text?
