    My vernacular is a bit dated, not sure if I’m a tankie, pretty sure I’m not a corpo.

    Either way, I’m perfectly happy with the community here as it exists, and if it leans toward the geek crowd I’m all for it.

    For sure, if people are looking for an alternative, and are interested, I’ll recommend it, but I don’t think we need to advocate for Lemmy to drive the masses here.

      Tankie is authoritarian communists, so basically China/USSR/dictatorship fan. Corpo is from Cyberpunk to mean like businessmen/executives, but I like to use it for kinda hyper consumerist/capitalist people too.

      I personally do think there is more to people than their political ideologies usually, even if I get upset with some of them for it.

      I agree and I do have a feeling like it‘s a geekier crowd, similar to Reddit 10 years ago when I first went there.

      What are your thoughts on the mass internment of Uyghurs? Complete denial? You may be a tankie.
