spujb@lemmy.cafe 7 months agofuck me i figured it out lmao. it took me a second but your comment in combo with what the mod said made it click.
- lemmy is very anti tankie (rightfully so)
- NCD has aesthetics that make it look similar to tankie stuff despite not being such.
- they probably have a history of getting backlash; for this reason they are sensitive to criticisms of being tankies or other hate groups (hence all the seemingly weird rules about no genuine posting/dont try to get us banned)
- and them i come in like a dumbass comparing them to a well-known group of real bigots. trying to be edgy and matching their tone, i unknowingly did the only thing that could make them angry.
- boom, banned.
sigh, my bad yall. thanks for coming into this shitpost to help me understand. feel free to let me know if i’m missing any pieces but this is making a lot of sense. if i had this context earlier i would have acted differently, hoping maybe this context can help others out 😭

I can’t think of another platform that has more tankies than Lemmy.
I love the idea of the fediverse and I want to see people take social media out of the hands of sociopath corporations. But as it is now, Lemmy is packed full of propaganda aligned with authoritarian governments like the Kremlin and CCP.

yeah i could have clarified this point better sorry. it’s not that lemmy doesn’t have a big tankie population it’s that the rest of lemmy is very sensitive to those authoritarian tendencies due to the sheer prevalance of them.
i’m pointing to the reaction to the trend, rather than the trend itself. hope that makes sense.
