    I called this back when world defederated from grad. That centrists would declare some other instance to be full of tankies and start trying to get it defederated.

    Wasn’t very popular at the time.

      Anarchists and libertarian socialists aren’t centrists.

      Also, tankies moving to a more popular instance that tolerates them to harass more people is the most predictable thing in the world. (specifically lemmy.world)

          Look at reddit. Tankies infiltrate lefty subs and try to take over all the fucking time. So who knows which instance will be the next one. We don’t shift goalposts, tankies find a new angle.

            Yes, they’re truly behind every rock. It’s not at all that centrists point at anything to their left and scream “tankie!”

            So who knows which instance will be the next one.

            One thing is for certain. Paranoid centrists will identify one as the source of all their problems and start screaming to burn the heretics.

              My favorite was when ToiletPaperUSA, a left-leaning meme group, definitely didn’t have half the mod team removed by a handful of tankies who replaced them with their own goons and then subsequently banned and removed all criticism of China until the long-inactive founding mod was reached and restored the old moderators.

              I guess I’m just dosed up on shrooms or whatever.
