    If you dislike the tankie dev of lemmy why are you using their software? Use X, a fascist CEO seems more like your style.

      It is a decentralized open source communication protocol offered for the public’s use, which means people can modify their instances and generally do, say, or think anything they want in regards to the original founders of the project.

        Yeah it’s FLOSS and you can do whatever you want with it - no doubt due to the leftist beliefs of the authors.

        Regarding doing saying and thinking whatever one wants - yeah I didn’t censor anyone, I’m not an unhinged mod with an appetite to ban anyone who disagrees with me - and there’s no way to stop someone from thinking whatever they want anyway wtf are we even talking about?

        I just thought it’s in bad taste to use someone’s FLOSS software whilst calling them slurs. Alternatives exist which would be more aligned ideologically with OP’s beliefs, that’s all.

          that’s not a slur, and it’s craven of you to compare being disliked for your beliefs and behavior with being discriminated against for your skin color….
          tankies are always pretending like everyone else is a racist liberal yet you keep trying to manipulate racism for sympathy.
          tankie isn’t a race, religion, class or culture.
          tankie is a descriptive term.
          don’t like it? don’t advocate for authoritarian regimes that run over people’s skulls with tanks

          I don’t know if I’d really call Tankie a slur just because “tankies” don’t use the term. That’s like saying Thatcherite, carpet bagger, TERF or brownshirt are slurs. You may not identify with the term but we have a long way to go before its a slur.

          You are decidedly not a protected class for being a tankie, homie.
