It is more of a generational divide, you're right about that. I'm definitely an outlier in terms of people my age.

Not even only boomer gays, I'm in my mid 20s and I don't identify with the term. If someone were to call me that I'd get flashbacks lol
Yeah that's why I don't identify with or use the term.
I've tried it, looks cool, and using the flag "enable with selective inversion of non image elements" really helps eliminate all the issues with dark mode
You know why the L in LGBT goes first, right? For me that's very important and I'll never change that.
Apparently yeah. For 1 US dollar a month in highly volatile crypto.
Had me in the first half not gonna lie. But yeah I agree with you.
Why would people switch to a browser in brave that tries to sell you some crypto currency and has its own ad network? Even if you want to use a chromium based browser because of issues with Firefox, there's much better available out there.
To be honest the best chromium based browser I've used (when I'm forced to use a chromium based browser) is the Samsung internet one. It has a dark mode that actually works and protects my vampire eyes lol.
Never used brave because I heard all of the scammy ad network and crypto stuff years ago, immediately put me off it. Now learning that the creator probably hates me, it's just another reason not to touch it.
Least hateful techbro.
No wonder the industry is going up in flames and the tech bubble is bursting if this is how the people in tech think.
My personal definition would be "authoritarian communist (or """communist""") regime supporters/apologists".
What does this actually mean? Is Nelson Mandela a "tankie" to you? You might think I'm being facetious, but I'm serious. I'll link some photographs and quotes from Mandela that a lot of the capitalists in charge want you to forget:
"I read works by and about Che Guevara, Mao Tse-tung, Fidel Castro. In Edgar Snow’s brilliant Red Star Over China I saw that it was Mao’s determination and non-traditional thinking that had led him to victory."
“The revolution in China was a masterpiece, a real masterpiece. If you read how they fought that revolution, you believe in the impossible. It’s just miraculous.”
"From its earliest days, the Cuban Revolution has also been a source of inspiration to all freedom-loving people. We admire the sacrifices of the Cuban people in maintaining their independence and sovereignty in the face of the vicious imperialist-orchestrated campaign to destroy the impressive gain made in the Cuban Revolution."
"Within that international support for our struggle the Soviet Union and other socialist countries stood out. The governments and peoples of the socialist bloc gave material, moral and political support to our struggle in a manner and on a scale that we will never be able to repay."
So again, does this make Nelson Mandela a "tankie"? If so, what does it say about "tankies " and the west, in that the so called "tankies" supported Mandela in the fight against apartheid, while the west did not. In fact, the west often supported apartheid. Even Antony Blinken admitted to that recently.
"The Soviet Union was supportive of the freedom forces in South Africa, and of course unfortunately, more than unfortunately, the United States was much too sympathetic to the apartheid regime, so that history also doesn’t get erased, you know, overnight, it's a process," Blinken said.
I get the soros bucks and Zuma bucks every year for making Jacob Zuma stan TikToks of course.
