I just joined Lemmy and I have already seen a comment from a tankie telling all Americans to “rot and die” in this same community. So no, it’s not all wholesome.
If it helps, it only ever seems to be the tankies, which are progressively becoming the minority. I’m sure more dicks will show up in future waves, maybe, but…I’m kinda seeing the point of just the lowest possible entry hurdles.
Actually, hold on, tumblr was talking about ActivityPub a few months ago, so if they ever actually do that and do it functionally, that will change the culture pretty substantially. Much more weeb/sociopolitical. I’m happily fucking out of the politics here by choice.
Yeah, anyone who makes a comment similar to that I always assume they’re a tankie. They are extremely easy to identify based on their comments.
Much of this appearance is due to absurd modding unfortunately. Removing any comments that the mods disagree with so they can have their echo chamber is a good way to give the appearance of a happy and supportive place while actually being the opposite.
Reading the mod logs is an exercise in frustration in a lot of communities here, especially on certain instances.
fuck you.
I’m here to fight the children. That was a joke please disregard this comment NSA
