@the_mighty_kracken the term Tankie comes from members of the British Communist Party that continued to support the U.S.S.R. after they sent tanks to Communist Hungary. Supporting the authoritarian State in the name of leftism even when they aren’t acting very communally. Now a days it pretty much refers to ultra-authoritarian leftists. After years I still am not sure if lemmygrad.ml is actually made up mostly of tankies, or if it’s mostly normies pretending to be acting how tankies stereotypically act. You probably have seen it more on the 'verse because Lemmy was originally just one website lemmy.ml written by Marxist-Leninist who were banned from reddit. Even after adding ActivityPub support and federating across many instances the Lemmy community still, in general, has Marxists leanings. If there is one thing, we leftists love even more than talking about overthrowing capitalism, it’s calling other leftists names and claiming their version of socialism is went the capitalists are still in charge.

@n7gifmdn @SoftestSapphic sounds like you should just use Friendica than you’d have all these. (as long as your instance has BlueSky and Tumblr plug-ins installed). You’d still need an account that exists on those two sites, but you wouldn’t have to actually log into a separate webpage/app anymore.
@n7gifmdn @Vandals_handle “it’s like if reddit worked like email”
@n7gifmdn I would add Friendica Groups (f/k/a Friendica Forums) to that list. But I digress, I still do for sports. Particularly /r/wildhockey & /r/cricket. The later I actually subscribe to the RSS via old.reddit.com/r/Cricket/.rss on Friendica so the posts show in my regular feed, but If I want to comment or post new I still have to actually open the cesspool that is Reddit in 2025. Like others said if there was more content of these on the 'verse I wouldn’t.
