The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of “left solidarity”
I want less politics in my feed and I’m tired of their veiled attempt to put more in mine
(which includes politics from this community)
I came here for memes that are positive LGBTQ, not memes that are negative against other people (by politics, I mean negative posts)
Edit:
I should also probably mention that I am not pro-tankie, putin’s invasion is a horrifying massacre and should be treated as such
I suppose there’s a struggle in my head between not wanting negative content in my feed, and actively wanting to know about and help with issues, as well as wanting to address those working against what I care about (i.e. tankies)
Sorry but the reality is that pro-queer content is always going to be intertwined with politics. Especially trans positive stuff.
I feel you on the wanting less political stuff but still wanting to be informed.
Honestly it was the main reason for making multiple accounts on multiple instances for me.
One account subbed to memes, one subbed to news, etc.
I’ve got a few alt accounts and I’d recommend it so that you can more control news hitting your feed vs memes.
I’ve tried stuff like that, but the issue is that there are politics/conflict everywhere, even in memes communities
