    On the contrary, I do pay attention to the subtleties. Dessalines and many of the mods on their most active communities are tankies.

    But I’ve never seen evidence that Nutomic is a tankie, and many of the smaller moderators and users aren’t tankies either.

    In fact, if you ask hexbear and lemmygrad what they think of Nutomic, they’ll probably tell you he’s a liberal, enlightened centrist, or cryptofascist, which all mean roughly the same thing according to their idiosyncratic version of the English language. I.e., he has been pushing back against tankies and hexbears since well before the APIcalypse, back when almost the whole Lemmy userbase was tankie.

    Talking about several thousand people as if they all share the exact same political beliefs and behave the exact same way is pretty much the definition of not paying attention to the subtleties.

        First of all, that has absolutely no bearing on whether or not Nutomic is a tankie. So I’m assuming you concede that you were completely wrong about that.

        Second of all, that’s a screenshot of a private message.

        What specifically bothers you about what he said there?

          Are you serious? Who says shit like that outside of being a Tankie?

          At this point I can see where this is going and I no longer believe you to be arguing in good faith and is probably just being a Tankie apologist.

          Goodbye.

            Uhhhh, hexbear is supposedly like 20% trans or something. They have preferred pronouns baked into the software. Tankies on Lemmy vocally love trans people.

            You don’t actually have any rational explanation for what it is that is problematic about Nutomic, it’s just something you heard somewhere and are blindly repeating.

            I have a very long track record on Lemmy of opposing tankies, so the accusations of being a tankie apologist are easily disproven. At least for those who care enough to actually do their own research, instead of simply parroting whatever gossip happens to float into their ears.

              You’re the one making an extraordinary claim that goes against literally everyone else. The onus is on you to provide evidence and “rational explanations” that support your claim
