I don't think anyone should be allowed to use the word "tankie" without pre-defining it. That said, you should also be informed that lemmygrad isn't pro-Putin but anti-NATO and especially anti-American imperialism. This means Russia is supported critically (as in you should be critical of it in your support of it. And in Russia's case extremely critical because it's a capitalist state with awful human rights laws) in this war. Of course opinions differ.

You should also not be surprised that lemmy.ml is filled with socialists, though the volume's a bit diluted since Reddit's API changes and the flood of new users. It's also run by socialists. You should not take that to mean you're not welcome here, either. On the contrary, anyone is so long as everyone follows the code of conduct which contains the obvious things you would expect: no slurs, don't harass, don't spam, etc.

Understandable by tankie I mean those who support Putler and Winnie the Pooh. though there are many cases of users from lemmygrad defending putin. Ironically one of the rules there says no homophobia yet people will defend putler the guy that literally weaponized homophobia.
