Celebrating my 1000th comment. Here is a shitpost.
The person in the picture is u/spez (fastest and the goofiest picture I could find).
Also, please don't take it seriously. It's a shitpost. Thanks.

There were also several instances of reddit tankies infiltrating other leftist subs to try to take them over.
Any sub favourable to leftists can get brigaded by tankies, unless explicitly anti-tankie.
I usually have the mindset „theres no ugly humans, only unhealthy looking ones“ …
Roald Dahl was right.
Ahh, I remember this one. The Twits, right?
Thank you
Literally physiognomy but okay.
It is not a serious opinion, but if I'm going to defend it the first thing I'll say is that it's meant to be the inverse of physiognomy.
Physiognomy does not discriminate between cause and effect, it refers only to moral judgements based on physical characteristics. Even the "positive" option embraces the thought.
I will say once more in clearer terms, I do not sincerely believe in this idea - in any form. You seem to want there to be a serious discussion here but this is a shitposting community and after this clarification I will resume acting accordingly.
So you don't believe in the idea in this non-serious sub, but also won't admit you were wrong about the basic definition?
Btw, the reason Dahl believed in physiognomy:

I am wrong, you won an internet argument! Congrats, this is the end of your quest.
Mad aggro, dude
My mindset is that being a horrible person on the inside can manifest in weird ways physically.
dude looks like Myron from Fallout 2
Whoa, like exactly like
That’s u/spez?!?!?
Holy shit, 10,000 switches in my brain just clicked and the output is “Schadenfreude Upgraded.”
It's goofy u/spez. Could be real too but probably an altered image. I felt like a regular spez image wouldn't cut it so searched for a goofy one and found this.
congrats for your achievement and thank you for the Scheißpfosten!
Thanks!
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I've been in Lemmy for almost 2 years since the API migration, and I don't know if I've ever encountered a tankie, despite seeing hundreds of memes about them.
I'm guessing my instance just doesn't federate with the same weird shit y'all are seeing?
.ml and hexbear are the tankie instances
They used to have a lot of popular communities on there, but they have driven most of them off their space into other instances by now.
If you imply that Putin or Xi are dictators you will get banned from those spaces.
Edit: hey look, I summoned one
i don't want to encourage bothering people in other instances, but getting banned from hexbear feels kind of like getting banned from thedonald. Not quite the badge of honor you'd hope. Like, cool and all but what were you doing there in the first place.
Well they aren't.
Both countries have elections. (unlike ukraine BTW that without the excuse of war banned almost every party and put political opponents in jail)
It's a ridiculous cartoon villain propaganda name.
Like every country the west doesn't like needs to be called a regime.
Annoying
So when does someone besides Putin or Xi get "elected"?
Wow your whataboutism really proved that China has a free society.
Good job.
You know you are allowed to aknowledge your country has problems and talk about how to fix them? I guess that's a taboo thing in a dictatorship tho.
Looks like you lost this one troll farm account
Not so easy to shit out disinfo when you can't ban me XD
Did you hear what happened to Alexei Navalny? How anyone can think that Russia is not a kleptocratic dictatorship is beyond me.
Ok so even assuming all this is true, (which is a big assumption, but whatever), does that deserve a summarily death sentence?
Please drop the immediate whataboutism for once
You sound like an unhinged conspiracy theorist, mate.
Putin is a dictator in the same way that Trump is trying to be. He consolidated power under his office, removing term limits and checks, and manipulates the democratic process in his favor (often with blatant ballot stuffing and crushing opposition).
The US political system, as corrupt as it is, isn't quite to that point yet, though unfortunately that might be changing soon.
Edit: Removed mention of Xi because I'm not as familiar with the topic and don't want to spread misinformation.
I started to make a long effort post detailing Putin's rise to - and subsequent consolidation of - power, but then I came to my senses and realized it would be pointless. If I went through with it, you would just do what you've been doing already, dismiss all sources I provide as false and biased propaganda while engaging in ridiculous whataboutism. I decided it would be a poor use of my time, is this really how you want to be spending yours?
It depends on your instance. I was originally on .lm when they first federated with Hexbear about a year ago and got piled on by like 40 when they thought I was criticizing communism when I wasn't and I also got banned for the sin of replying to them. The reason for banning was "troll". Lmao
I even got ratio'd by someone downplaying the events of the Tiananmen Square. That's when I knew I was up to my waist.
E: It was an immediate instance ban by an Admin iirc
I have been here about as long, though it doesn't feel like two years. I've decided it's probably how some people interpret left of center views.
Kind of like how my parents seem to interpret feminist as misandrist hell bent of world domination and not people who think compensation should be equal.
Either that or people hearing such and such communist country was right about X and interpreting it as that country was right about everything.
It seems like some thought terminating bullshit to me, but like you, maybe I've just not happened across this terrible scourge on Lemmy.
He really looks like he‘s about to be buh-goking, I’m going with D
Also he really looks like I‘d imagine a Reddit mod
Very nice shitpost, you get a like from me. Subscribed!
Thanks! Can we follow or subscribe to individual accounts on Lemmy though (other than RSS)? Because I'd love that.
I don't think it's possible yet
Should be easy to implement I would think but what I would really want is maybe adding a couple people to my feed from Mastodon (or other fediverse) as well as inside Lemmy. Unlike Reddit, Fediverse has the power to do this.
If I were the chicken, it would be A and B. And probably C.

Dude, you need to clean up your drives.

Looks like a dumpster fire.
Can someone explain what Tankies are and why we should fear/rebuke them?

They are pro russia communists IIRC
So it's a anti-russia moniker? Or anti-communist?
Ableist cunt...
Lemmy isn't free to the people hosting the instances though, is it?
Free as in freedom, not as in beer.
It can be free-as-in-beer as well if you use something like Tor. Tor doesn't require you to pay a fee to ICANN.
Interesting. Can onion federate with the normal web though?
No, Onion services cannot be accessed from the clear web. You need a browser that supports the Tor Protocol.
Lemmy world is the worst instance. You guys are huge libs and it's embarrassing. Get a life, spend your energy on something productive other than shitting on people on the left, while right wingers staged a coup, and are going to start cracking down on everyone's rights. "First they came for the communists...."
Not everyone is liberal just like not everyone is an American. Lol
Bait or stupidity, make your bet
Stay mad nestle
