Sup? Joined the Lemmy version as insurance in case Reddit decides to can my account (which they most likely will at this rate).
Hope this site gets easier to navigate
lol how come you doing an intro in /c/tankiejerk tho?
There are Tankies on Reddit too, there’s just so much more people over there in general they’re easy to miss outside of certain subs
Welcome! Just FYI, since you’re here straight away I assume you already know of Tankies LMAO
So around here they’re mostly found on the “Tankie Triad”; instances consisting of Lemmy.ml, Hexbear and lemmygrad
Hex and Grad are very in your face about it, but .ml tends to be more subtle. So, many instances defed (Meaning the admins of the instance you’re on has decided to “block” (or really just not accept posts/comments/voting from an instance (like email, federation is more of an outbound kinda thing)) from those 2.
.ml is one of the original instances and run by the head Lemmy devs who are, unfortunately, Tankies themselves and tend to enforce the Tankie mindset throughout more subtlety IMO through mod action. Some of the largest comms are here as a result, but in recent years has really dropped off in activity in MAUs.
Because of that, and a lot of the lemmy support forums being on .ml, they tend to get handled with “kid gloves” more or less by most instances
If you want to have a fun kick off challenge you can always see how fast you can get a site ban from .ml and then I can give you this achievement unlock:
How come tankies are so influential on the internet and so irrelevant outside of it? lol
Perhaps bevause the proletariat are more free to speak on the internet than in capitalist media and workplaces
Welcome new Lemming! We are stronger with you here!
Sup. It’s quiet here sometimes. Different but similar.
