ScrubblesEveryone I've talked to about joining Mastodon/Lemmy/The Fediverse
LostCauseI went to Reddit for the first time this month to speak up in a relevant thread about it and got a bunch of tone deaf replies about they‘d rather join Threads cause "its popular and you sound like crypto bros with the decentralised stuff" and also some "Lemmy was made by tankies" and so on.
You know what, I don‘t care, don‘t want these short sighted people here, let them get screwed a few more time by the corpos.
My vernacular is a bit dated, not sure if I’m a tankie, pretty sure I’m not a corpo.
Either way, I’m perfectly happy with the community here as it exists, and if it leans toward the geek crowd I’m all for it.
For sure, if people are looking for an alternative, and are interested, I’ll recommend it, but I don’t think we need to advocate for Lemmy to drive the masses here.
Tankie is authoritarian communists, so basically China/USSR/dictatorship fan. Corpo is from Cyberpunk to mean like businessmen/executives, but I like to use it for these kinda consumerist people too.
I personally do think there is more to people than their political ideologies usually, even if I get upset with some of them a bit.
I agree and I do have a feeling like it‘s a geekier crowd, similar to Reddit 10 years ago when I first went there.
not sure if I’m a tankie
What are your thoughts on the mass internment of Uyghurs? Complete denial? You may be a tankie.
