Yes, but in addition to the history memes and other good and unique content, PugJesus also isn't a tankie, and sometimes even argues vocally with tankies. cm0002 is the same.
I suspect that's what's actually behind this: Some kind "Mean Girls" effort to damage someone's reputation because they are giving wrongthink to the community. Maybe I'm paranoid. At face value, though, the whole thing of "HOW DARE YOU PUT MEMES IN MY MEME COMMUNITY EVERY DAY ARGBLGRBGLRBG I'M SO ANGRY NOW" makes so little sense that I think it's safe to assume that something else is the reason.
I think having a specific beef with tankies and going out of your way to aggravate them instead of just putting them on block says quite a lot about a person living in the second rise of fascism
I don't think he's going out of his way to aggravate them. I think he's encouraging other people to not interact with them and calling attention to some of their bad behavior. I do think that makes sense. Some people care a lot about the truth, and it'll really aggravate them to have people being hostile and dishonest all over their social network, posting propaganda, attacking or banning anyone who disagrees with them, just generally being cocks. They'll want to "fix" it or at least draw attention to it as a problem. That makes sense to me.
Maybe it is a little extra to even care about these weird text-only networks to that extent... but I do get it. It makes sense to me. He's not just doing it for no reason. And yes, that is important in or out of fascism. Having at least one little electronic network where people can talk about these things and not have to be banned or attacked if they say the wrong thing does seem like an important thing, maybe more so the more that truth is under attack on the outside.
He's made multiple communities about them and then links to the communities/posts, then also does it in other communities.
And how many communities and posts has he made about fascists? A few posts, no communities.
How many about terminally online weirdos who think LARPing as revolutionaries and simping for Stalin? It's about 50% of his posts when he's not making memes about Rome like a Xitter user.
