Are you a "tankie"? (2025 edition) in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

No. But my anarchist friends consider me one. Also I don't consider the term tankie to be synonymous with communist or socialist.

If there were no meddling from the imperialist special interest abroad, there would have been no need for the tanks. Unfortunately the siege is ever present and ubiquitous.

Put a half cup of ammonia in the wash. Don't mix with bleach. Dry as soon as it's done washing. No more funk.

How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] monocles@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I switched to Lemmy after Reddit killed bacon reader. Never looked back. joined world and discovered defederation drama. Joined lemm.ee. now I'm on .zip. I don't want my instance dictating what I see. Even if it is the trifecta.

I use Mastodon also. I occasionally watch YouTube, but I don't post, and I definitely don't engage in the comments section.

Have not used Facebook in a decade. Not interested in tiktok or shorts. Occasionally pushed to imgur for the memes.
