Out of curiosity I went to exploding-heads.com and it looks like it’s not working anymore. Is there a new place they hang out now? Are they undercover on the regular servers or something? It’d be a little surprising to me if they all just gave up on being active on the Fediverse.

    I miss the tankies. I assume they’re still around somewhere, but now they’re all drowned out by the “look what I found on Twitter” bros. I didn’t agree with them, but for a while, Lemmy felt like the old internet.

        Haha excellent. I was completely sincere when I was telling that other guy that Lemmy feels like a monoculture now, and I liked the “tankie vs leftie vs nerd” generation of it way better. When I first came on and it was ideologically diverse I was like “holy shit, score, I’m staying here forever.” Like I say, it felt like the old internet.

        I’ve argued with both tankies and MAGA people, and the tankies were way more abrasive. Like bad-faith to a degree that’s genuinely hard to believe. I still loved them.
