So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there's a new moderator.

Meanwhile dbzer0 is still federated to Hexbear, despite having a strict "no tankie" policy.
OOTL what are tankies?
Just a slur that the right uses against real leftists rather than larping liberals.
Someone who's so anti America, whether justified or not, that they make the mistake of thinking anything the US likes is bad and anything it dislikes is good. Hence, its rivals can do no wrong.
i've heard so many takes on defining what a tankie is, and i gotta give it to you, this one's the worst, yet.
I could always be less charitable if you'd like and say it's someone who dislikes dissent against authoritarian leaders and simps for dictators.
communist because u want a commune = communist
communist because u want tanks and gulag = tankie
Red Fascists, basically.
They only want authoritarianism and violence. Check out meanwhileongrad for examples of their extremism, which is fully supported by the developers of lemmy.
Living rent-free in your mind. Kudos on your dedication to your community, but your time may be better spent on a different hobby. Maybe try reading "tankie" theory?
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
The problem is that lemmy.ml is the front page of the lemmy project, and I knew that dessalines are politically leftist.
Since reddit emigration to lemmy, the guy keeping a low profile and there were posts and comments about China, CCP and Jinping but they were not deleted. And there are c/technology and c/privacy communities on lemmy.ml, someone might post high-tech surveillance over activists or Uyghurs.
And this move doesn't look good for the lemmy project itself.
