I don't know if this is the right community, if it isn't warn me and I'll move the post!
So I saw a meme about piracy on reddit (apparently a tankie HQ) and I wanted to share it on the biggest piracy instance on the fediverse, with good intentions I post, it gets some replies, but the funny thing is I can't reply as the post has been removed by the admins of that instance.
I couldn't care less, it's just a low-quality meme, in fact I'm amused more than I'm sad. These libs are doing what the US state dept was doing during the cold war FOR FREE!
I hope you all can share my amusement at the fact that apparently all it takes nowadays to be called a tankie is to be against big tech and to post from a mainstream instance. You don't even have to be a communist, it's full paranoia on their part at this point.
The meme in question, nothing "tankie" about it as far as I can tell.
Edit: btw the community about censorship on lemmy has been.... Eliminated
I mean, just posting from a lemmy.marxist-lennist account is tankie adjacent right there 🤭
Lol, you're (probably) joking but at this point I've seen about a dozen people from liberal instances like .world equating lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. I mean we're still leagues above the average reddit.world user but we are pretty heterogeneous.
