!asklemmy@lemmy.ml - ARE YOU A TANKIE? - informal poll results ~
😱
A ridiculous question. “Tankie” isn’t a term anyone self-identifies with, it’s mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term “tankie” itself.

ARE TANKIES TAKING CONSPIRING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BAD TIME ON LEMMY.ML ??
DOES THE WORK FOR YOU!!
WE ASKED !asklemmy@lemmy.ml ARE YOU A TANKIE?
First stack of pie charts shows the yes / no split, highlights that the lemmy.ml yes responses made up less than half of the yes votes, hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml only made up a small portion, some hexbear-ians even vote no
second and third pie charts show the yes votes, and no votes by instance respectively
third stacked pie chart shows the yes / no split by instance, overlay-ed with the total yes / no votes
only top level comments were counted
tankies are closer than they appear
Deeply unserious

this was fun, thanks for the polling idea, Kristina (I spent too long on these charts because yours looked so spiffy, I hope you specifically are impressed lol), solidarity cleaning that data up, and general reminder people only half read anything before launching into a diatribe
tl:dr yes, tankies are totally conspiring to make sure you have a bad time on lemmy.ml
Tankies broke into my house and moved all my furniture half an inch to the left
okay Ivan; go back to the gulag before putin puts you there. lol
The “everyone’s a tankie who disagrees with me” I’m convinced is a new meme.
That’s what happens when you defederate from pro-Marxist instances. Zionists and anti-Communists start joining this anti-Marxist space and you have a whole new Red Scare on your hands.
People who are downvoting this dont like to have fun
I downvoted because after staring at it for 15 seconds I still had no idea what data it tried to transmit or what the message was. It’s just a bad infographic.

I’m browsing memes on lemmy, not planning a moon landing.

Imagine being mad you can’t understand a pie chart divided into two colours, imagine being mad at a joke. Have we all forgotten this is !memes@lemmy.ml ??
I literally made charts detailing that the majority of responses said they were tankies, and then I provided you the details.
Downvotes are for rule breaking content, not for covering your big feelings.

Sir, madam, or enby, this is a c/memes.
Sir, madam, or…
Ethical non binary yankee?
Close! Non-Binary → N.B. → enby
All in all, “Tankie” is just the modern version of “Pinko!” I’ve seen Anarchists called Tankies, every manner of Marxists, non-Marxist Socialists, and more. It truly lost all of its meaning and is just Lemmy’s Red Scare.
A huge portion of that comes from Lemmy.world, which is the largest instance to defederate intentionally from Hexbear and Grad, which has the presumably unintended effect of making Zionists and other far-right wingers feel comfortable in an Anticommunist instance.

What is the top graph? It seems to be some combined thing, but I can’t figure out what.
