    As long as you are using their software, you will be supporting or needing from the tankie devs so moving to mbin (or is it kbin?) or piefed is the only real option… Or fork lemmy.

      Eh, dbzer0 doesn’t seem that tankie, they’re more of ignorant/misguided leftists.

      But yes, db0 advocating against voting is sus as hell.

      As for ani.social? Idk all I know is that one weird “anarchist” claiming to be from Japan having cringe takes like “if you run a small bussiness, you support capitalism/fascism” (paraphrased).

          That’s a broad stroke, members of this community are leftist as well. Honestly I don’t think there’s any right on Lemmy.

          But it’s because they federate with Hexbear

          And the admins openly praise Hexbear, allow genocide denial, and engage in the same kind of swarm mentality?

      It’s a little more subtle even than that. It is “OF COURSE we need to post unapologetic cheerleaders for (side A), because literally everything else in the world is cheerleaders for (side B)!”

      The second part isn’t even usually true, but even if it were, the logic doesn’t make any sense. The solution to “not enough truth” is not “more of the right type of lies, to counterbalance.”

    lemmy.ml sucks, if anyone is controlling the narrative it’s them. Some kind of bizaar nest of liberals that would rather have this trump disaster than vote for Kamala because she’s not left enough. We’re on the same team people, wake up!

      Lol Dems aren’t on the “same team”, its more like begrudging temporary allies in a WW2 scenario. Like how the Tankies temporary sided with the Liberals against fascists. Same here, but this time the “allies” are the progressives and the “centrist” dems, against the fascists/tankies, these centrist/corporate dems aren’t really our friend lmao. Primary the fuck out of them, but vote for the Dems in the general.

      Edit: Phrasing

      Don’t confuse ML’ers with liberals, progressives or even leftists - they are none of those things.

      There is a reason they are derisively referred to as ‘Tankies’; they’re the sort of people who would cheer on the tanks during the Tianamin Square massacre.

      Their entire world-view starts and ends at US/The West = Bad, China/Russia = Good. Everything else beyond that point is largely pageantry. While they do hold some views that overlap with leftist principles (pro-Palestine, pro-worker etc.); they overlap with far-right (pro-Fascist) principles that will over-write others.

    I mean the answer is, that as a NATO nation, we don’t need anyone to ‘approve’ our news sources. But also, anything sanctioned by Russia is full of unadulterated removedry

    Technically all news outlets are propaganda outlets, it’s just some work for the state.

    … others work for ideologies, private individuals, companies, or economic systems.

      You fell for the tankie switcheroo. Pointing out something bad in the west, even if true, doesn’t invalidate or justify the original thing.

      Rt is a state propaganda outlet.

      Oh nevermind. Hello 1 hour old account. Fuck off back to your tankie hive please.
