I do love that they call anarchists tankies, gives me great joy to see them own themselves by going mask off as terminally online radlibs like that

You’ve got to remember that we spent several years fighting every liberal on reddit and winning so hard the admins had to intervene repeatedly to try to stop us. God created Arrakis to train the faithful.

Does that make Lemmy users the shitposting Sardukar? Still individually worth 10 of the best Landsraad Lib house troops?

That was the nudge I needed to make an account over here. I joined midwest.social because it was an explicitly leftist server. I would have been very sad to lose access to the good posts here now that I know about them, and honestly I’m pretty baffled at the number of users native to that instance who are bitching about you all in that thread.

Edit: thank you all so much for the warm welcome ❤️

welcome to the evil site of tankies, hope you enjoy your stay

I would say I’m from the true tankie instance but the libs are giving our crown to hexbear

Lemmygrad is a well drilled column of tanks with a shared mission. Hexbear is a constantly snowballing militia of half-mad generals, shellshocked tank commanders, and eager young comrades who heard them speak - constantly firing in all directions, but always outward.

The liberal craves order, predictability, even when facing it as their enemy. Hexbear is relentless and utterly unpredictable.

If you haven’t gotten a welcome glad to have you here.

It’s a little chaotic, there are struggle sessions, but so long as people come with actually open minds it’s generally incredibly friendly here.

I also joined midwest.social because they claimed to be an explicitly leftist instance. It would be extremely disappointing if they defederate.

What’s up with Hexbear? They think everything I post is Western Propaganda, why would they ever think that?

Wait I think one of the other instances did accuse of being a cult…

Which isn’t entirely wrong.

Watching all the chaos that has ensued from the “brigading” is what pushed me to actually make an account on this instance too. You all seem like a really wonderful group of people beneath the pile of emojis and dunking and I found myself genuinely saddened by the idea of defederation so soon after Hexbear started making the place fun.

in practice, defederation is necessary to prevent legal problems since there are instances with CSAM and you don’t want local copies of that
