The shear amount of tankiness over on lemmy.ml is making me seriously consider leaving the platform.

    It’s not such a bad combination to be a tankie and an open source software developer.

    It’s a problem to be a tankie and an admin/mod for the flagship instance.

      It’s only a problem if you allow your personal worldview to affect your moderation… a tendency that sadly most moderators have. I’ve found lemmy.ml to be one of the more permissive instances where viewpoints of all sides are permitted. Unfortunately many others (you know who you are) are in danger of becoming walled gardens and echo chambers.

        There’s a large overlap between people who are sympathetic to terrible dictators and people who would be happy to be dictators
