Wdym? As in was it a bot post? No, I crossposted it with my own hands lol

You could drop the probably lol

sigh

Re-read the comm name

Each link is

• Supported by a screenshot
  • of the in-thread context
  • of the mod log entry
• Contains links
  • To the thread for addl context (where possible)
  • To the modlog entry (where possible)
  • To any additional supporting context (e.g. an article explaining why [Y] source is misinformation)

Titles are appropriately interpretive, as is anything else in this world.

For example, how else would you interpret dessalines posting this in reply to someone

As something else as “If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics”

Co-creator of Lemmy and a “tankie”, it seems

Yea, lol, writes decent software though and mostly keeps their ideology out of the code

Oh hey look! Fellow new years baby!

Hi! Np, it was crossposted because the community you posted to is on an instance run by authoritarians who propagate Russian propaganda about Ukraine, deny the many China human rights violations and declare the NK isn’t actually totalitarian amongst other things

See below for examples and a megathread documenting it

Don’t link to or participate on Lemmy.ml, join the boycott today!

Cross-posted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize and drive non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because of the behavior and attitudes of the .ml instance admins (see megathread link above)

Some highlights from the link:

I think I understand your comment for the most part, so if that’s the case, why do you contribute to .ml at all if you’re already against his authoritarian ideologies?

There’s lots of general meme comms you can contribute to that are off-world as well (I think a lot of us are also now avoiding posting to .world, I for one have completely cut myself off from posting there) besides this one there’s

You have been banned from Lemmy.ml

I did because VOY is my fav lol, season 6 episode 15 where 7 and Tuvok get kidnapped and forced to compete in combat matches to the death (well Tuvok doesn’t because he was critically injured)

Iirc it was his first acting gig before his actual “breakthrough” acting gig

Mr. Garrison?

Why how odd you didn’t copy the entire block

What is a “tankie?” Tankie was originally a pejorative term referring to communists who supported the USSR’s invasion of Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968 [87, 96]. Over the years, the context of the usage of tankie evolved. For example, it has been used to express derision towards pro-Soviet hardliners [42], to describe communists who support China’s policies [69] (e.g., supporters of China’s actions on Uyghurs [95] and the Hong Kong protests [7]), as well as young, online Stalinists in general [44].

Thus, tankie is now used to describe much more than the set of communists who supported specific events from the Soviet era. The term tankie now covers communists who support “Actually Existing Socialist” (AES) countries; especially those with a Stalinist or authoritarian leaning.

Thus it is of wide spread usage to mean “authoritarian communists” regardless of whether or not it’s in a bonafide dictionary. Which, I might add, is a follower not a leader in language.

Furthermore, the entirety of their large scale study seems to be based on that definition

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
