I’m divided on how to handle this from a mod perspective. On the one hand - it’s derogatory and breaks rule #2. The OP also explicitly excluded Lemmy.ml. On the other hand, making me uncomfortable doesn’t break any rules and it’s a valid comment. Thoughts?
I wouldn’t take it personally if you would just feel better removing the comment? but I don’t think it’s derogatory it is just what admins views are even tho tankie is a slang world maybe I should just say red fascist?
According to Wikipedia, tankie is a pejorative term - belittling, disparaging, or derogatory. So, while many don’t agree with their views, I don’t see a point to being rude or cruel. We are here to share info and not to judge each other as people. If people want to avoid Lemmy.ml due to the admins or the Lemmy project due to developers’ views, that’s their call. I still don’t see a point to being rude. We also have rule #2 which is to not be offensive.
With that reasoning, I’m going to delete your comment. Feel free to reply again with the bit about your preferred instance.
