And here we are again. Not that I want to defend those people, never heard about them before, but from the article they seem to be prime example of human trash. But the weird part is we’re (some of us are) discussing this on lemmy, where lead dev and main instance admin is tankie to the bone. And we’re here pretending it’s somehow OK to spit on one side of trash pile while enjoying the other… Why? We should treat all extremist the same, no matter if they’re to the right, to the left, if they’re white, black, red, purple or green with magenta spots, it just doesn’t matter - treat them all like they deserve.
One of the two associations is in power and actively dismantling society. The other develops a technical product and runs a Lemmy instance many people and other instances have blocked.
Handling or concluding them a bit differently seems quite fine to me.
That being said, I’ve seen plenty of Lemmy dev connection criticism on this platform. I can’t say the same about FUTO.
Hi, I identify as extremely leftist, guess my opinion on that. I don’t like tankies either, but well, I do believe it is ok to spit on fucking fascists, y’know
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for spitting on fascists too. But I’m also for spitting on tankies, 'cause in my eyes they represent the same kind of brainrot.

While both groups have serious issues, I’d join tankies over fascists any time.
Tankies are sometimes misguided and heavily mob-minded, but at least they come from a decent premise.
Fascism is terrible start to end, I cannot think of a single thing they got right.
Also, depends on what you define as “left extremism”. Far left simply advocates for human decency, mutual aid and solidarity.

Their (tankie) downvotes mean nothing. We’ve seen what makes them cheer.
