    I predicted this when lemmygrad got defederated. I said that neoliberals were gonna identify some other instance as the “tankie instance” and start campaigning to defederate from it.

      Funny because it’s always been those 3 instances this whole time, nothing ever changed in our dislike for them.

        Uh huh. Once you’ve succeeded in defederating from .ml, in a few months, there will be another instance that neoliberals decide is full of tankies, and it will have always been those 4 instances.

        I called it last time and neoliberals don’t change their desire to silence people to their left.

            And .ml is only the “tankie instance” because neoliberals found “tankie” to be an effective cudgel to silence people to their left. They don’t have to be tankies to get the label.

              Right, but I am AnCom call them tankies because they support the USSR & China.

              You can hate neolibs all you want, that doesn’t change the fact that CTH, Lemmygrad, & .ml are the tankie trifecta.

                CTH? I thought Hexbear was the first “tankie instance”

                See you when you guys get the urge to karen another instance.

                  Hexbear is CTH.

                  When reddit banned CTH, some of the community went and made Hexbear, most of us stayed on reddit and due to the small userbase it become an incestral breeding ground that removed all but the most hardcore tankies and authiechuds leading to the shitheap it is today.
