Nobody would be surprised if it leaked tomorrow that they’re literally operated out of the Kremlin or military city Beijing.

Wait, is “tankie” a synonym for fascist or something? I thought it meant durable. Lol

Yup, Red Fascists who support Russian invasion of Ukraine and think China owns Taiwan and definitely aren’t committing multiple genocides within their territories. The pretend to care about worker solidarity while they promote Donald Trump and oppose NATO. They pretend to care about civil rights but they oppose liberalism and they think Trans people are a western psyop.

I think I should probably just keep the alt in this general instance. I’m not looking for political talk or niche interest spaces. I just want to find a consistent and dependable place for mainstream topics.

piefed.social isn’t very big on the political side last time I checked, that’s why I chose feddit.online instead, which is also a piefed instance. I highly reccomend piefed instances, or KBin/MBin, because the Lemmy instances in contrast are developed by those Tankies.

Yeah, that is likely to work. And you’ll get basically all of the same content no matter where. Some defederate the Tankie Triad, which results in better content.
I chose mine mainly based on it running on PieFed instead of Lemmy, because PieFed has a little more features and a nicer UI. And then secondly by this being hosted in the Nordic countries, where it is legal to say that genocides are always a bad thing. If there was something that defederated from the Tankie Triad, but fulfills the other two requirements I’d absolutely make the switch to that :)

Tankie is a word coined for people who support the idea of a country using its military against its own people. A person saying that there was nothing wrong about the Tiananmen massacre is a tankie.
