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
Wonder how long before this "piracy" instance starts talking about copyright law and how important IP protection is.
Though I expect we'll see a lot, lot more of this from libs going forward, we're in a new age of McCarthyism and anything they don't like will be called "tankie propaganda."
