Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected] . [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For most instances you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distant check [email protected]
Wait. I'm too new to understand the second part of this. What are Tankies? What's up with the .ml instance? Is the [email protected] like an observatory of .ml shenanigans? Sorry, I'm honestly out of the loop
Edit: interesting responses. Thank you all for your input! :)
There's a diagram that illustrates this pretty well:
Yes, it was started as an observatory of lemmygrad.ml, but it's also relevant to lemmy.ml and hexbear.net (the Tankie triad). There are also [email protected], which just focuses on all kinds of tankies from all instances, [email protected], which focuses on disinformation (again, from all instances) and [email protected], which focuses on moderator overreach (for all instances). It's also the official, approved and recommended way of complaining about mod action here on lemmy.dbzer0.com.
what political theorist created this? or is it just a random meme sourced from a dream?
It originated somewhere here on Lemmy, can't find the original post, only a comment that references it: https://lemmy.zip/comment/10082020 (I know that this is not the original post/comment, because that commenter is on lemmy.zip, so they can't upload media to lemmy.dbzer0.com's pictrs instance)
I'm not saying this is a fact, or anything scientific (I'm sorry if it appeared that way), but I personally find it pretty accurate, and many people here agree
interesting i personally find it pretty inaccurate as is the case with all statements based on personal anecdote when you examine the material actions and political theory of your so-called tankies you can that your meme is just that
No political theorist. It’s a meme based on horseshoe theory, which is discredited by academics.
