It unfortunately is very much the intent, but they don't want to say that up front because no one would join.

Honestly they don't seem to be bothered about denying human rights violations they seem to think they're a good thing.

People as deep into the ideology as people on here are think the dog whistles are signposts.

Most Reddit posts referring to lemmy direct people to lemmy.ml it's effectively the landing page of the platform and if that landing page is being used to recruit people into a shitty authoritarian ideology then that taints the entire platform.

Just a thought, maybe it came with the fawning over of Putin and the CCP?

Follow the link, that's happening on lemmy.ml not lemmygrad.ml.

Follow the link and tell me that isn't straight up blur the lines recruitment BS.

This is happening on lemmy.ml I can cope with there being instances for tankies, what's bothering me is one of the main instances pretending their not so that they can push straight up recruitment shit at people who don't know.

I'm on another instance but it's making me rather uncomfortable that a lot of the traffic is happening on an instance that seems like it's 90 CCP members and Russian trolls.

The way things are on there I can't even tell if this is just a joke.

This is probably fair. Just watching people play it some if the details struck me a weirdly similar. Like starting in a location where a big enemy is riding around on horseback. Having large above and underground worlds.

People aren't shouting "tankie" at you. You people are self identifying as tankies.
