    For me at least it seems there are way less bots here. I can deal with insufferable asslipped dickheads as long as they’re human asslipped dickheads.

    Reddit feels like 90% bots accusing bots of being bots.

      for now.

      we’re probably about 3-6 months away from a major AI bot infestation.

    I’ve been on Lemmy for over a year, where I learned that there’s some difference between liberals and leftists, though what those are, I don’t know.  I also had never heard the term tankie before Lemmy.  I’ve never cared to look any of these terms up though.  Probably makes me one of them…

      There is a simple test to determine if you’re a tankie, specifically.

      1. Did Tiananmen Square happen? Specifically, was it bloody, consented/orchestrated by the CCP leadership, and resulted in the deaths of unarmed civilian protesters?

      2. Was it wrong that it happened?

      If both answers are yes, you’re not a tankie. You believe that oppressive regimes are evil regardless of which side of the political spectrum it spawns from.

      Bonus points if you think Stalin was anything but benevolent. If you think his methods were “tough, but firm,” then you’re a tankie.
