Tbh there is little evidence. There is a lot of shitposting people socialists are pissed off being called “tankie” or communist as a slur. I mean this shit is old. McCarthy would love this “oh you’re a tankie!” shit.
The worst I’ve seen is a communist community discussing that Stalin needs to be rehabilitated for his role in building up the USSR despite his “mistakes” (The big oopsie of 3.3 million dead in the great purge). I mean that is just stupid.
The larger issue is the laser focus the liberal community has on tankies, it’s not the fascists that are currently rising or already ruling, noooo it’s the “authoritarian tankies” that are at the lowest of their power ever. Whoever has been putting money into this tankie meme is brilliant. Just amplify that shit and stoke that hatred. Fascism bad, but oh please don’t be too radical lol.
So basically lemmy failed as a platform precisely because the neoliberal have managed to already cut out the socialist heart of lemmy.

Is wholly incapable of assessing China in an unbiased manner, will only see positives or reframe away the negatives.

lemmygrad.ml is not federated with many, many other instances exactly because of their authoritarian BS, including dbzer0.com. you might need to log out and visit lemmygrad.ml directly.
