The fediverse contains a few different site frameworks that all communicate with each other based on the basic rules and formats. Lemmy, Piefed, Kbin/Mbin, etc.

I’ll link a megathread which has all the details and links to citations, but basically the users who maintain and develop Lemmy, and often ship a banner alongside updates begging for funding, and also host the home page which lists their hand picked instances, they are pro-Russian invasion of Ukraine, Pro-North Korea, Anti-LGBT, and they even heavily promote Donald Trump at times while consistently shaming his opposition. They go by Dessalines and Nutonik among others.

Documentation of Lemmy.ml’s Extremism [Megathread]

P.S. I could be mistaken but I think the instance you’re on is still federated with Hexbear? Those are exactly the kind of Tankies we’re talking about.

when you say “Lemmy is run by pro-fascist tools of Russia and the CCP.” Do you mean specifically Lemmy.ml or any part of the fediverse with the word “lemmy” in it?

I didn’t ask the person that created my instance if they are a pro fascist tool. I didn’t get the impression that they are but I could ask.
