This is a direct result of 3rd party apps for Reddit like Apollo and RIF shutting down on June 30 in response to the recent changes (like Reddit demanding $20m a year).
The mod says their work will be too hard w/o these apps as the official one is dogshit.
Sad day.
Also, much love to our mods/admins. Hopefully moderating this site is better than Reddit.
some real jokers in there: "I know the two biggest lemmy instances are tankie, but are there ones that aren't? Are beehaw and blahajzone tankie too? "
"As for another place to hang out, we could go to https://raddle.me. Yes, at the moment their trans sub is pretty dead, but this reddit alternative has some things that make it worth trying. First and foremost a strong stance against bigotry, anti-authoritarian admins and solid privacy - with just the first two points they're imo already above any other major reddit alternative that you can actually sign up for without invite nonsense."
"For like 2 years they had a hardcoded word filter, which even if it followed a noble goal, was kinda stupid. You couldn't type "stardew valley", it would become "sremovedew valley". "
Tankie has really become the new red scare term to deployed at every instance of advocacy for actual communism/socialism or even just disagreement with the dominant “acceptable” versions of leftism - DemSoc/anarchism/left-libertarianism.
"Or love the word instanky" fixes the rhyming scheme, but doesn't quite have the right ring to it
How about, "Or love the word 'cause frankly" (and removing 'cause from the next line)
Implementing your fix for copying and pasting:
So you might as well ignore it,
Or love the word cause frankly,
you ain’t been doing nothing
If you ain’t been called a tankie
Tbh I'd like to update the whole song bc it's only gotten more relevant with chuds screaming woke at every little thing anyone does.
Which song?
You Ain't Done Nothing If You Ain't Been Called A Red

Honestly, I think the majority of this tankie-hatred from trans redditors is them confusing 'tankies' with patsocs and nazbols that are against LGBTQ+ people + calling it 'western bourgeois decadence'. This was an issue for me a couple years ago and why I avoided ML spaces before I started reading theory and learned the actual origin of the term tankie (and also met some cool Marxist trans folk). I feel like Hexbear's anti-sectarian policies really helped cultivate a space where non-Marxist leftists could be educated and just hang out with 'tankies' in a relatively non-judgemental community. I guess the answer is that it takes time for people to educate themselves and they have to want to be educated.
Libs: Hexbear is infested with with tankies. I bet they like people like Haz.
Hexbear: Hey, remember that time Haz was here shitting all over himself and got banned for saying smoking weed makes people gay.
Almost every trans person I've met is a socialist so I figure they caught some pretty advanced anticommunist socialist brainworms
Nazbols: “being gay and also gender equality is western decadence.”
Also nazbols: “you see, we need to gentrify leftism so the westerners will like us. Tailism totally works, guys. You really want to make the totally-working-class white suburbanite upset?”
Actual anarchism isn't an accepted position, you only get a pass when you're some V*ushite tool who thinks anarchism means being a nanoangstrom to the left of Biden
Lest not ye call another tankie lest ye be called a tankie

raddle's sole admin and sole user would just ban them all one by one to return to their preferred state of having a reddit clone entirely to themselves
man if they think the tankies are banhappy they're gonna get a rude awakening on raddle. there's a reason it's mostly dead.
Shit if they're not too lib and are ready to learn we would even approve most of them on lemmygrad probably.
lol regex fail
amatuer hour right there. put some proper pilots in the removedpit of this plane.
It's funny that these trans libs don't like banhappy people. I for one believe every slight wiff of transphobia should be met with a ban
