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.

Edit: nevermind. I opened it in my browser. I wonder if I have this community or person blocked in Boost for Lemmy.

you probably did what I did after my first week on Lemee, and just block the .ml instance completely from my feed. it's absolutely insane and is the prime example of why Federation doesn't really work great if not all federated servers are subject to the same rules.

.ml will outright let hate, violence and threats stand. But will instance ban anyone who questions their tankies.

I don't block entire instances, just the individual communities. I've been tempted with that one and beehaw(sp?) but I haven't yet.
