For all the newcomers that aren’t aware, I just stumbled upon this insane drama. Apparently lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] is the result of a reddit sub ban of a bunch of pro-china bots who vigorously defend the Chinese government, and the two top admins are also the top devs of the Lemmy source software. Pretty terrible stuff! The linked thread is full of their insane ramblings and denialism Edit: I seem to have been blocked from commenting, all my replies are timing out now. But I wanted to say that I don’t intend to make this post as an “anti-lemmy” thing, I think the truth should burn brightly in the sunlight. We should try to continue to grow Lemmy (especially since we’re the largest reddit clone) while calling out their propaganda and hidden motive. Edit2: turns out I can comment, I just can’t reply to kbin user comments from my instance. Just spins indefinitely.

    Tankie is rapidly becoming a term that means "Left of Louis XIV"

      I'm going to start calling every slava cheerleader a tankie. They literally want to send more tanks to Ukraine.

      This is a good one, but at the same time I have some serious doubts a significant portion of libs are even aware of the origin of "left" together with the French revolution. I give it 50/50 a lot of Americans think its MLK or some shit.
