I'm very glad I do not know what ML is, it sounds annoying.

me on sh:
You guys ever notice how the .ml crowd comes out in droves to defend each other?
They probably have a discord where they coordinate actions so that none of them have to defend their cult alone.
It's pretty sad.
It's matrix actually, but it's been brought up before, some of the more prominent tankies all have a collab document that they copy/paste from
Just my own personal experience but by far most of the worst experiences I have on here come from .world users. Though to be fair bunch of them did move to piefed.
It's a mid-off
Some of see the world as it is and ML can't see how full of it they are.
Edit: I feel only satisfaction and validation when I get downvoted for setting the tankies straight.
only thing I know is the cm002 wierdo guy. did not know it extended beyond him who I dunno could be a wierd cabal for all I know.
.world is basically a bunch of neoliberals who think anything to the left of Reagan are tankies.
Both sides use it as testing grounds for bots and propaganda before taking them to real social media.
Left or right...it's just a bunch of individuals with opinions and/or groups with agendas. The instances themselves have become "sub-reddits".
Centrists on .world periodically pick an instance to their left and designate it the "tankie" instance. They won't rest until we're only allowed to say nice things about genocide.
