There’s a decent chance lemmygrad is defederated. For some reason browsing all on lemmy.world will occasionally pop up lemmygrad posts from a year or a few ago. Doesn’t happen on sopuli.xyz, my second account tho.
Also, might just be a few tankie communities on Lemmy.ml then, not the whole instance.
I think it’s the meme community specifically I’ve been noticing.
So, you got me thinking why .ml at all? So I googled it lol. Lead me to a thread on Reddit (lol) explaining the differences between an ML and a tankie. Tl:dr Marxist-Leninists aren’t completely down with kissing the boot of big government but really resonate well with socialism.
I’m sure I explained that terribly but I guess I’m happy to know the difference.
What’s sopuli.xyz like? I think I’ve seen a few users from there.
Edit: nevermind. Rule 3 of sopuli.xyz tells me it’s more of the same. I’m sorry but if you need to make an entire rule mentioning Nazis and Qanon then it’s probably because you spend a lot of time calling people those things because it gives you an endorphin rush.
I chose sopuli because I liked the name and had seen some people from it and I wanted a new on in the big lemmy.world outage, I didn’t choose it for particular rules or culture, and tbh I rarely use the account, except for browsing all sometimes so I couldn’t tell you what the instance is like, besides the steam deck community being there for some reason. And for the record I don’t randomly call people Nazis or Qanon.
About MLs/tankies
In my experience MLs and tankies are basically the same, they call themselves MLs but others who dislike them call them tankies, though there are others who would also fall under tankies, and also some MLs who would dispute my characterisations to follow. They are technically leftists, somewhat related to democratic socialists like myself in sharing some of the same values but are ok with authoritarian means of either creating a socialist/communist state (such as a vanguard party) or sustaining it. As such they often defend China and Russia/Soviet union. Basically communists (Marxist) but authoritarian (Leninist).
Just want to say that it’s lemmygrad.ml that is the tankie one. lemmy.ml is the dev-hosted instance
It’s both.
Someone mentioned lemmygrad.ml earlier but I can’t say I’ve actually noticed it (browsing all on sh.itjust.works, if that matters).
Too often it happens that the first thing on my feed is some edgie endorsement for communism and it’s always lemmy.ml behind it.
Thanks for the details though. Makes sense.
