Generally, those who praise authoritarian regimes who mask, or attempt to, themselves in the cloak of communism/socialism e.g. China or Russia and are SUPER anti-West (Parroting views of the China Russian regime)

Which comes with a whole host of shit takes, like Russia being justified in their invasion or even denying Tiennamen Square and definitely denying the China Uyghur genocide

Basically, they’ve gone so far left they’ve circled back into Right-wing authoritarianism

It’s almost certainly because of the tankie factory that is .ml and the fact that it’s admins are all hard core tankies (including the main dev! And ofc the whole infamous Nutomic transphobe incident)

Coupled with the fact that a few of the biggest communities are on .ml does not bode well.

That’s why I keep calling for a general boycott against posting content or comments on .ml communities.

.ml doesn’t want growth, they want a tankie echo chamber, if anybody wants to actually see Lemmy grow at a healthy pace it starts with shuning the hostile tankies and their instances.

I’ve always said the dictionary is a follower not a leader, by the time a word gets added to the dictionary it’s already established widespread usage

Careful, the FF community here hates it when you point out faults in their “perfect” browser
