I think it will be very similar to the Mastodon exodus. There’s going to be a huge spike (prepare your servers, folks) but it will die down steadily. You’ll see a lot of obnoxious r/redditmoment types for a while but eventually they’ll go crawling back to their hole (not enough easy clout to gain here), and at the end of it all we’ll just have more cool people. So, bumpy ride ahead but a net positive at the end. but i might just be saying that bc im part of the migration, i dont know lemmy culture too well

t’s a derogatory term for far-left Marxist-Leninists (MLs). Some MLs proudly wear the label (see r/InformedTankie on reddit) since the term has been overused to the point of meaninglessness. Basically, any sympathies with or presenting info contradicting mainstream propaganda about socialist states (USSR, PRC, DPRK) will have you branded “tankie”, i even just read a post from r/rust saying they dont want to move to any Lemmy instance because we’re a buncha tankies
