Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Kbin has the ability to block instances wholesale natively

Not yet. What kbin has is domain blocking, for hiding posts that link to a particular domain. It's also buggy right now, and will just hide random stuff from you.

It’s frustrating to find a post leading to hexbear, question whether I accidentally unblocked hexbear, and find it still blocked. I appreciate the dev immeasurably, but dang it if I don’t occasionally think “darn that guy and his probably very adequate face.”

Isn't being an alpha tester fun? :D

How do I do this? For some reason I'm unable to block individual hex users, and I'm honestly done enough with them to risk accidentally missing out on something else..
