I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3
none. join a piefed instance instead.
is there an introduction to piefed instances anywhere? what happened to lemmy that caused ppl to migrate to piefed?
the hard-line social democrats all started migrating because communists upset them. I’m an anarchist and don’t mind it so I’m still here
Nah, you’re a tankie.
You can easily find Anarchists on PieFed either on Quokk.au or Anarchist.Nexus though for anyone who wants to join us.
Why is that supposed to be an insult, I know nothing of tankie But was called one a couple days ago
Tankies are people who supported the use of tanks to attack the civilian protests against the USSR in Hungary and later Czechoslovakia. That became the default term for anyone who supports brutal authoritarian states that suppress the people to assert their control. In modern day context a tankie would be someone who blames Ukraine for being invaded and denies the genocide of the Uyghurs.
Some rightwing/centrists like to use it to insult any leftist. You can just ignore those ones.

I wouldn’t call fascists or CIA- & bourgeois-backed counterrevolutionaries “civilians.”
- JFK Files Reveal CIA Role in the 1956 Hungarian Uprising The tankies were right

No one buys your tankie gibberish!
I said it before (in this thread) and I will say it again:
ML are basically on par with Nazis; full endorsement of extermination of national identity/language/culture of “bad” ethnicities, support for russian Lebensraum, support for mass internment camps for “bad” ethnicities.
Dessalines, an American, has never lived in Ukraine or russia, doesn’t speak Ukrainian or russian and yet he comes up with bullshit like “putin just wants to show he means business” or “war is war, civilian casualties are fine [as long as it’s Ukrainians]”.
You never had any friends from Hungary or Czesh Republic, you’ve never been there.
The USSR was total trash. Abject poverty, genocidal extermination of the cultrue and language of occupied nations, KGB goons in universities and a corrupt leadership that makes the current oligarch/criminal look like good guys. You’ve likely never met anyone who lived in the USSR.
Thank you for proving my point!
Were they hard-line demsocs, or were they really just “progressive” liberals?
I’m probably being too generous, but they do tend to identify as that
The bots are talking to themselves, oh no
Not everyone opposed to trans people being in sports is a bigot.
Yep, I’m a bigot because I don’t want people taking steroids in sports.

Did you think that this was a gotcha?
I’m going to give myself time to look through your comments on my flight. It will be amusing watching the so called “anarchist” swiftly devolve into an authoritarian.
You cultists sure do love your buzzwords.
How many times do you think you’ve said death to America, by the way? I’ll have a count for you by the end of my flight.
Edit: ooh the direct quote of the day
The U.S. did deserve 9/11 though
Yeah. I’m sure this gets worse, and I haven’t even spent longer than 30 seconds looking. You should probably keep the fact that you’re ‘trans’ to yourself, if Lemmy were a bigger platform you would 100% be painting the picture of the ‘mentally ill trans person’ rhetoric the conservatives are pushing. You are literally problematic in your existence.
