Hello from lemmy.today!
Howdy boss

It should be noted that Feddit.org was included to represent Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
I did not include Baraza.africa as that was too encompassing as it covers the whole African continent.
Hopefully this post inspires more countries to join the blue club!
This seems to be missing Mali, the home of
.ml. It's in West Africa and since the French soldiers left it's been an authoritarian client state of Russia. Very appropriate. -
It is covered under Denmark as they’re still part of the realm. But they have their constitution written ready for the day of independence.
Yeap, I'm aware of the Denmark and Greenland situation but I was curious if Greenland had their own instance

My instance is Slovenian, you can add it to the list

Strange that Spain and Norway don't have its own instance. Big countries
Actually in Spain there are a Catalan and a Basque instances. Go represent this on your map

Norway easily has the money to spare for an Lemmy instance. Where's our feddit.no!
Jeg tror ikke det er nok av oss her, men faen... BÅDE svenskene og danskene, men ikke oss?? Flaut.
**Translation: **
I don't think there's enough of us here, but fuck... BOTH the Swedes and Danes, but not us?? Embarrassing. -

Can somebody also make join-lemmy.org notice that our instance exists? Can't get it listed, even though we comply with the requirements for a while now.

Actually the goal of terms like that is efficiency. We could say "supporter of aggressively implemented authoritarian communism" if we wanted, but tankie is shorter.
Helps if you have the background to understand the specifics of what different "isms" support and thus what they disagree on that leads them into genuinely fighting each other. A fascist, a lib and a tankie really do have very core disagreements that cannot be realistically compromised on. At the most basic, a fascist wants a unified society with a strict hierarchy, the tankie wants a unified society with no hierarchy, the lib doesn't want any kind of unified society. If any one of these people gets their way, the other two do not, which leads to conflict.
Left/right are more economic arguments with some wiggle room due to being more or less a spectrum, but also tend to feature significant real world disagreements.
Anyways, I do agree that it's important to have conversations about these underlying details, but when you're talking amongst other people who know the background already, some shorthand terms are going to start appearing. Since these are overarching governance philosophies that any person can adopt or discard at will, they're also a little different from more inherent divisions, like ethnicity for instance. Being a tankie, lib or fascist is a choice, where being Arabic or gay or something is not.
Choose the most efficient phrase from these options:
- "This is propaganda which supports authoritarian communism"
- "This is tankie propaganda"
- "This is propaganda"
Notice how the message still gets across with that third one? It still tells you "these are lies or exaggerations that have misled you" without needlessly classing the source with a catch-all term that obfuscates their position as human beings with the right to live?

Nothing about the term tankie does or should deny their right to live. Advocating for the deaths of people who disagree with you is profoundly against everything liberalism (the freedom-based guiding principle of what we'd call "the west") stands for.
To the contrary, as a pretty standard liberal American I fully support their rights to advocate for whatever they wish. Since there is no realistic way to accurately and objectively determine what is or is not propaganda, I support their right to create that as well.
Regarding the utility of recognizing where propaganda comes from, it can occasionally be useful to know, as it tends to follow certain patterns based on the goals of whoever created it.

It's also US propaganda to discredit communism

Oh no I coloured in Ireland
️I was just going to ask what the Irish instance was. I'd correct that asap as they can get awfully feisty when riled. I've got ¾ Irish ancestry, so it's not racist.
