? The developers of Lemmy are tankies, it’s important to make sure that tankies know they aren’t welcome here.

Gotta ask for both a source and your definition of a “tankie”.

You keep using that word, I don’t think it means what you think it means.

A tankie is someone who supports authoritarian communism (I believe the term originated from using tanks to suppress protests)

Here’s a post showing that the main instance of Lemmy (hosted by the main 2 Lemmy devs) removes any negative posts about the Chinese or Russian governments for “orientalism”: https://lemmy.pineapplemachine.com/post/5784

In the comments of that post, you can find one of the devs borderline defending what China is doing to the Uyghurs: https://lemmy.pineapplemachine.com/comment/5950

That same dev has a github repo called “essays on communism”: https://github.com/dessalines/essays

I’m pretty sure both of the devs’ profile pictures are Fidel Castro too

“You criticize society, yet you participate in it? Curious…”

Judging by your username, I’m going to guess you’re a communist. Will you continue to participate in this forum using a computing device that was produced by a capitalist economic system? If you demand this level of ideological purity, it seems rather hypocritical.
