Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

No real user complains about political leanings. Literally the only complaints i see in the most random places is “how liberal everyone is” which is objectively deranged. If anything this space is incredibly conservative and I’d like for you to prove me wrong
Tankies are basically conservatives, it's easy to mix them up
Eh, there's Horseshoe Theory at play there. While some people rail against the idea, I think they're forgetting that political stances should mostly be modeled along 3 axes, not just the one. It's just that the 'average' range of political stances tend to follow a horseshoe-shaped pattern within those 3 dimensions
There's nothing good that comes out of dictatorships.
If you want less freedoms for individuals then that is a right wing ideology.
Individualism is a right wing ideology dawg
Lemmy.world ended up being the default instance for everyone hopping from reddit, so it's quickly become more akin to reddit than other servers. Not to mention the tankies have migrated to lemmy.ml (developer run and explicitly marxist / tankie instance), lemmygrad.ml (marxist tankie 4chan instance), and hexbear (tankie communists that were isolated / defederated by choice for a while. They started federating and many instances blocked them for trolling. Full of trolls). I went to lemmy.ca but lemmy.world blocked me for being a bot, which I am not, so I had to make a new account because the admins never bothered to respond. Also lemmy.world admins have been going kinda crazy / heavy handed with the moderation and many people on other servers are rightfully upset with them
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for people curious
What a tragic tale of woe.
