Supporting communism’s ideas, while still fairly condemning terrible things done by historical attempts at implementing it.
No
To clear definitions, at least for me"tankies" are a subset of communists, who praises/defends the actions of all/most communist states far more than similar actions from capitalist states. The difference between communists and tankies is a bias in favor of communist states when looking at things like human rights violations. Very few people will self identify as a tankie, since it’s hard to see your own bias.
I feel like a few might see a felony conviction as a “straw that broke the camel’s back”
No, it’s a question of volume. Before reddit turned to shit, it used to work the same way, but niche communities could still thrive because there were enough people. Lemmy will be able to hold more communities as more people join

Everyone has run like captain Jack Sparrow at some point
I think a big part of the anger was about the fact that it was a hard retcon. It used to be official in the lore that “all space marines are male,” but Games Workshop changed it to “there have always been female space marines”.
Why do we need custom backgrounds for our phones and computers? That’s free space that could be ads. Especially good if clicking/tapping on the background causes a full screen, unclosable, unskippable ad. Because a misclick is definitely showing interest in the product.
Browser load times. Slow that down a bit, and you’ve got enough time to pop an ad in between every page load.
Indie games, FromSoft, and larian ftw.
Only ea games I can think of that I’ve bought are jedi: fallen order and jedi: survivor. And I only bought them because they’re actually good games that aren’t monetized like a casino.
At that point is hemogobbling
So was I. The whole tags bit is a metaphor.
