  Very true. I had to laugh when I saw lemmygrad.com

    lemmygrad.com is just a redirect to exploding-heads.com which is just another extremist instance at the other end of the spectrem.

      According to this comment, looks like it should be defederated anyhow

        That comment actually makes it look more to me like nothing needs to be done. If it’s just a redirect there shouldn’t be anything on activitypub for lemmygrad.com, and the Nazi instance was the first one I defederated. At least, that’s how I understand it I could be wrong.

  What is a tankie? First time I’m seeing it today.

    From wikipedia

    Tankie is a pejorative label for communists and those who align with Marxism–Leninism ideology. More generally, the term “tankie” has been applied for those who express support for one-party socialist republics that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical.

      so a bit like holocaust deniers but on the left extreme of the spectrum

    A tankie is a communist who at least defends and often advocates for forced submission to their rule, most clearly illustrated when tanks start rolling theough the streets. It dates back to the USSR sending in tanks to crush an uprising in Hungary in 1956, and was applied to the UK communists who argued in support of the USSR.

    The owners of lemmy.ml are tankies.
