I don’t want nazis here either and I’m glad that lemmy remains hostile to them. I was responding to someone who asked why people stayed on reddit. Given reddit’s userbase, they’re staying because they’re welcome. We shouldn’t welcome nazis.
Comment on we need more users
dudesss@lemmy.ca 1 day agoI disagree. If Lemmy was plagued with Nazis, it would down the shitter pretty fast.

We got tankies on here, though. Not much better.

Too bad centrists think everyone with any criticism whatsoever of anything they do is a tankie.
Tattorack@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
Haven’t seen that happen yet.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
That speaks more to your lack of criticism.

What’s a tankie and what makes them close to Nazis?
Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 day ago
A tankie is a kind of person who like Imperialism and expansionism so long as it comes from something related to, as the other user said, Marxist-Lenism.
The origin of Marxist-Lenism is Russia, so they support Russia invading things, and committing warcrimes, and make all sorts of excuses for such acts.
Today they’re primarily in support of the Russian side in the Russo-Ukranian war, do not consider it an invasion of a sovereign nation, and consider it fully justified as an act to oppose “NATO expansion”.
Essentially, to a tankie, nothing “goes too far” if they can somehow connect it to a Marxist-Lenist agenda, and behave the same way about Putin as an right-wing American behaves about Trump.

Oh, I don’t think I’ve witnessed one here.
