Hi, there have been some controversy on lemmy and in particular lemmy.ml with regards to affiliation with Putin.

I was wondering what were the point of view of the owner of Lemmy.world on the topic.

    Sadly the top two Lemmy instances don’t seem like great places. .ML is tankies and beehaw just have a look at how many instances they have blocked already. Seen this by a mod of theirs too which just screams insecure and proving the posters concerns right.

      Calling lemmy.ml a bunch of tankies because they don’t agree with a shaky far-right argument often used to attack the LGBTQ movement at large and don’t want it on their instance is quite disingenuous. Lemmygrad is the tankie community, as it is literally the pro-Socialist instance on Lemmy.

      It goes to show just how polarized online politics has become. You’re either a Nazi according to the left if you don’t fully agree with their views, or a Commie according to the right if you believe in anything like public healthcare or taxes.

        Are you ok? Or just so riled up your reading comprehension has went in the bin? The photo is of beehaw, I thought that was pretty clear as they were the last instance I talked about before saying and I seen there mod respond with this before posting the image.

        Check the profile out of lemmy.ml admin it’s very obvious it’s ran by tankies that have been forced to be more accommodating after their server got popular or they’d hurt its growth.

        Edit: Also hilarious how you call it a shaky far-right argument and want to act like its never happened. I’ve seen it personally before, hell I’ve seen it from CIS people too.

        Can’t wait to get called anti-lgbtq and a far-right Nazi from you even though its as far from the truth as you could get about my political and social leanings.

          Beehaw is more like a Tildes alternative than a Reddit alternative to me. Not gonna lie, Deimos would have probably yeeted this guy off of Tildes for a comment like that…
