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.

I can only get you the thread number because if I try to go to the link all the comments are scrubbed
lemmy.world/t/490214/Why-are-hexbear-mods-such-petty-little-tyrants
It was federated to kbin so I don't really know how to look it up any better than that.
edit: I do also want to bring up one other point though
Isn't this lemmy.world? I always thought lemmy.ml was more just the first instance, not the one aiming towards diversity. I'd usually recommend someone to lemmy.world if they wanted just a general server.
Your link isn't working. Can you try a screenshot instead? I don't recognise this post.
It doesn't work. How many times do I have to say this? It was a moderated thread and is deleted. The posts are gone at this point.
I don't go purposely following groups to harass them so I talked with this person in this thread and moved on. I didn't screenshot them. Just like i'm posting here because it was on the front page of kbin. The most I could ever give you is the comment saved that I made towards that user.
I recommend you edit your posts that it was not MeanwhileOnGrad that posted that kind of content. Do you want me to respond to your edits or nah?
