The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of “left solidarity”
Now personally I think we have the word takie pretty well defined in our rules and have no intention of changing it. Fuck tankies, they don’t belong here.
I didn’t write fuck commies, or fuck libtards, (I am a vocal socialist and very far left) or anything like that, the banner is specifically about pro-auth dictator-worshipping tankies.

Holy fuck great start to federation, like just actual semantics trolling. I don’t even know what else to call it, you have 0 pushback on the fact you praise dictators, it’s actually amazing.
What dictators are you talking about?
Cricket, cricket
Yeah doesn’t doesn’t seem like anyone wants to answer.
I had a another comment of my mine in this thread removed, that was just asking if someone who self described as very left supported any AES.
Way more into accusations than answers
You sound fun

I wouldn’t use the term “x-tard”, it’s pretty ableist :/ (and something I’ve had to put up with as an autistic person - honestly it was going away a few years ago but seems to have re-established itself via 4chan’s memetic bleedthrough to internet communities).
But I do agree very strongly with the sentiment ., it’s nice to have a leftist space on lemmy not overrun by authoritarianism tbh nya

Not replying to anything other than pointing out that at least on my TestFlight version, Memmy properly “hid” the spoiler until I expanded it.

Being called a liberal is insulting enough. Most liberals will identify as progressives.
Ok yes I’m not calling anyone a liberal though
Will we? Im not a progressive and I believe in as limited government intrusion into personal lives as is possible for all to safely be who they are. Im fully in favor of equal rights for all people.
Im not arguing for rent control, a massive reduction in debt for the upper middle class and above through universal college loan forgiveness, nor am I in alignment with a group like fuckcars. Im liberal but not progressive.
I stand corrected.
There are a lot of us in the USA who are liberal but do not see ourselves in line with Sanders, AOC, Pressley et al on economics.
