I’m just glad we could have a conversation about this without one calling the other fascist as it happens too often here.

The wiki doesn’t help because there is no common thread between the groups listed, and they aren’t all comunist. Like, iran? The article goes on to talk about modern russia. That’s not communist either. The only thing I can find in common is that they are not “western”.

I think it implies a sort of connection in this way: Marxism -> opposition to capitalism -> opposition to countries championing capitalism such as the USA -> defending organizations who oppose USA -> defending Islamist organizations or current Russia.

I have observed those thoughts combined within instances that claim to be Marxist on Lemmy. Have you not?

I believe all human rights abuse are bad whatever the ideology or absence of it. But maybe it’s even more depressing when it comes from an ideology base that claims to be in favor of the oppressed people. It’s also most visible from the leftist side here, because far right instances are more unanimously ostracized. I never saw them in my feed personally, probably due to admins early filtering.

I recommend you to check the profiles of the creators of Lemmy which are also administrators of lemmy.ml. At least one of them has plenty of writings that make their ideology pretty clear.

If this wiki page doesn’t help you understand the term tankie I don’t think I can do better. It’s basically people who support authoritarian communism including denying or supporting their crimes like the Tiananmen Square massacre and similar. As the last part explains, sometimes the relationship to Marxism gets lost as they focus on anti-Western or anti-American positions, such as defending Islamist Iran and other Islamist movements that share very little with Marxism and the left.

I don’t know if it’s possible, but I would guess democracy based communism with no human rights abuse. Maybe that’s better called social democracy or democratic socialism. For example, in Europe many former Soviet communism supporters lost their faith when they progressively learned about Stalinism crimes and founded what’s called “Socialist” parties as opposed to “Communist” (ex: French or Spanish socialist parties). In English, they are usually called social democrats, close to people like Bernie Sanders, I think.

The Wikipedia introduction is quite accurate for the kind of people you may find on those instances, especially the bottom of the introduction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

I confirm.

I don’t know if this dev is fascist I have not studied the question. Do you have some other information besides this list? Indeed, I’m not calling the dev a tankie, but rather some of the instances of the blacklist that I know of, as a possible explanation for being blacklisted. I don’t know all of them well enough to tell.

Some of those tankie instances have been pretty aggressive with others, so I can understand that a developer wants to make its project more accessible to normal people by blocking them. Now, do all the instances on this list deserve it? I don’t know. Also, it would probably be a better compromise to have this as a visible “safe default” and let admins edit it easily.

It’s une échappée from le peloton.

When holes are closed enough that water cannot go through, I think it is valid interpretation of having an inside.

The notable difference with jam would be that avocado is already oily.

Are all the spoons dirty or something?
Also, are they eating avocado with butter?

I wanted to check the visual difference and found that it is the top picture in the shrinkflation Wikipedia page haha. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrinkflation

So EPIC brand = AI tag, got it.

A scientific model is valid within its limits of applicability. We will likely never be able to establish natural science models that escape this, even in physics.

This seems to be easily said of anyone trying to popularize science philosophy.

I am quite confused by your assumptions. I am just making a joke about people trying to avoid surveillance capitalism tools on one side and gleefully installing aur packages from random people on the other side, potentially making their surveillance exposure worse. I’m part of them some time because it’s too hard to verify everything everytime.

Trying to escape surveillance capitalism while installing aur packages willy-nilly.

That’s nowhere near as convenient as current web based PR.

That’s nice
