Can someone inform me about what's wrong with lemmy.ml?

The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, and the admins are tankies

Their users often argue for authoritarian regimes and deny genocides.

Whereas worldist don't deny genocide, they'll just say "it's unavoidable because both sides want it anyway so it doesn't really matter because you have to stay realistic so it's not much of a deal really nobody cares".

I wish more people would defederate from .world lmao

I am thinking about tanks, explain.

The iconic Tiananmen square "Tank man" photo, where one guy stands in front of a column of tanks on their way to slaughter pro-democracy protesters, briefly stopping them. Tankies are lunatics that wish for authoritarian communism and so unironically support the tanks running him over.

Not the origin of the word.

This dates back to Hungarian revolution in 1956 and tanks being deployed by USSR.
