Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth.

With that, lemmy.world is the clear second largest lemmy instance and has left the third largest instance beehaw.org’s 12k in the dust. It’s now within 6000 users to overtake the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (their registration is closed). Exciting to see this growth!

What are some of your favorite communities on lemmy.world so far?

    Neither of those links provides evidence that the Lemmy devs are “in favor of…the Uyghur genocide and Tiananmen Square massacre”, which was the part I found suspect about the post I replied to. At least one of the devs does, however, appear to deny that the genocide is happening and that the Tiananmen Square incident happened. That’s quite different from being in favor of those two incidents.

      Thanks for bring this up. I agree with you. They straight up denied those incidents. However, the conclusion of my comment still stands. They are indeed “tankie”.

      The term is also used to describe people who endorse, defend, or deny the crimes committed by communist leaders such as Vladimir Lenin,[7][8] Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, and Kim il-Sung.
