      There was some discussion just before the Reddit influx, actually: https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199

      Edit: Also read through the history of Lemmy for some info on the motivations.

      I have no problem with the admins of their instance running it however they want, and they made a really cool project and I appreciate that for the most part they do not have a problem with people who disagree with them. I think people should think twice before re-creating all of their favorite reddit subs on that instance though.

      No proof, I just heard about it. A buddy and someone on reddit told me about “tankies on lemmy” which I dismissed as drama at first, then I heard it’s actually the main devs too, then I did a quick google search and search on lemmy here, it seems universally agreed upon at least in those threads from what I can see.

        Unironically using the word “tankie” in a derogatory way gives off major lib vibes btw. And you know what happens if you scratch one of those.

          that’s pretty aggressive. noone is forcing you to identify with the bad parts of socialism.
