    Lemmy was better before the Reddit exodus last year, when people started insulting others by calling them tankies and fascists. Before that, it was much more peaceful.

      It was still full of tankies though, lemmygrad was the second biggest instance and you’d see it everywhere

      They were tankies and fascists before anyone ever came here and found out that they were.

      Calling them such didn’t create them.

      Basically… A tankie isn’t not a tankie just because theres no one there to accuse them of being one.
