I’m just pointing out the nuance. Broad brush doesn’t help anyone. If you automatically assume everyone from lemmy.ml is a tankie, even though it’s one of the largest instances, and the original Lemmy instance, then you’re doing yourself and all the more moderate users on lemmy.ml a disservice.
Depending on which mods you allow, which sitewide rules you set, and not least how you applu or not apply the rules, you get wildly different instances.
Any part of any discussion that verges into criticizing Russia or China gets removed by either mods or passing site admins.
Any comment that is anti-the-West gets a pass no matter how uncivil, inflamatory or dishonest it is.
This only happens on worldnews@lemmy.ml
A few others also. Like memes. https://lemmy.world/post/19190223
Ah ok, fair enough. I’ve only had problems with the world news mods so far, but makes sense that some of the other mods can be bad too.
Tankie detected.
??? Explain
Minimizing the pervasiveness and impact of shitty tankie behavior is shitty tankie behavior.

I’m very much not minimizing the shittiness of worldnews@lemmy.ml.
“That only happens…” is minimizing no matter how you slice it. Insinuating that I said everyone on .ml is a tankie is also dishonest.
Why? What’s so different between lemmy.world and lemmy.ml (idk what the ml is for)
Different site admins.
