That's because there are a LOT of tankies on lemmy, specifically lemmy.ml. In many threads anything slightly critical of Russia or China will get deleted and the users banned. It may have other meanings but that's what it means here: people carrying water for authoritarian regimes while LARPing as leftists.

You have to be self aware enough to know it also gets thrown around like any other label incorrectly. It's just a way to ignore someone else's point and bandwagon.
