      Eh, dbzer0 doesn’t seem that tankie, they’re more of ignorant/misguided leftists.

      But yes, db0 advocating against voting is sus as hell.

      As for ani.social? Idk all I know is that one weird “anarchist” claiming to be from Japan having cringe takes like “if you run a small bussiness, you support capitalism/fascism” (paraphrased).

          That’s a broad stroke, members of this community are leftist as well. Honestly I don’t think there’s any right on Lemmy.

          But it’s because they federate with Hexbear

            Depends on who you ask. If you voted for Kamala, some people here will consider you part of the Right.

          And the admins openly praise Hexbear, allow genocide denial, and engage in the same kind of swarm mentality?

        I’ve heard a lot of things, but nothing that I have verified or really needs repeating. But I think the fact that the UniversalMonk who has been banned from most of the larger servers is welcome there. It would definitely put a lot of people off.

            If you don’t know who that is, color yourself lucky. Roughly a year and a half ago on-world. They were creating something like a community a day at one point. It was tens or hundreds of communities they were soul moderator of. With some weird posting. Not sure whether it was mental illness and too much time or large language models. Combative and dogmatic behavior in the section of many posts outside their own communities. Which if I remember correctly, got them banned permanently from many of them, and ultimately from the instance itself. To which they created new Alts for a while. So much so it was and still is a bit of a running joke to call any new random behaving oddly universalmonk for many people.

                Nah. UniversalMonk tends to be very fake friendly and passive agressive, Yankee Boy prefers being outright hostile and aggressive towards whoever they deem a Zionist, which is everybody. Monk is irritating to deal with, but they don’t make thousands of accounts in a one-man war on a tiny social media platform because unlike lil ol’ Yanks, Monk has most of their marbles intact.

                They’re outright trolling. If monk was trolling and not just obsessive and uninformed then they’d be a master troll compared to antiyank. Who’s just a juvenile, tanky, edge lord. Only after saying those words just now, do I realize how redundant they are.

                  idunno if yankiespoo is trolling, he’s pretty deranged. Keeps DMing me images of dead kids and stuff and saying that I should go to prison for killing them

                    At first I thought it was trolling, but it’s pretty clear it’s someone who is very, very unwell in the head. Everything they do is so far beyond what a sane, rational individual would do.
