Vegan Theory Club is considering becoming more tankie

The absolute brain-rot it takes to call sh.itjust.works - a Canadian instance - "extreme right wing American propaganda."

They genuinely don't get satire or shitposting, do they? NCD is defence themed shitposts, white people twitter is taking the piss out of people saying dumb shit, and meanwhile on grad is taking the piss out of people saying dumb shit.

Utterly deranged.

Alright I've been on Lemmy for over a year now, ever since the API disaster with reddit. I keep seeing tankie. What the heck is a tankie?

Edit: just read the community sidebar

That looks like a dead sub. Not sure why I should care

Yeah it’s one of the two vegan Lemmy instances.

I’m just sad they’re advocating for Russia to invade Ukraine and claiming that both us election candidates are the same.

At least there is Lemmy.vg.
- Yeah that would classify as "tankie shit" to me. Anyone with half a brain (like myself and I'm not American) can see that there are fairly large differences between the two political parties (and some very striking similarities). They are after all all Conservative, right-wing parties.
I definitely saw the vegan community on that instance on my feed a few times and was wondering if it is as bad as the other one that got some attention a while ago. Maybe it's the same and they just moved to their own instance, I couldn't be arsed to waste the time and energy to look into it and I guess this post did the work for me now. So thanks, OP.
- OP is one of those people from the drama that you are referring to about vegan cats on lemmy.world, I and my actual friends who run Vegan Theory Club server were not a part of it. I had previously defederated lemmy.world due to difficulties moderating as I believe the instance is too large and not well gate kept and the problem posts, trolls and down votes were primarily coming from there.
  
  I extended my server to allow space for them as vegans and they used it as a "life boat", this is a regret of mine as this person acts with extreme immaturity. I am now changing the site and how we curate content due to this.
  
  Lemmy has a complete inability to handle disagreements and discussion in a mature way. As soon as you differ from a mainstream point of view you get posted about in meta communities to target harassment and people wield fediseer to silence you. My views as posted and discussed in the thread screenshotted here are my own and not representative or required of all members in my community to adhere to besides being against hierarchy in all forms. This includes speciesism, military of any kind and authoritarian "communism."
  
  If you do not want to participate, that is fine by us.
