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.

The LW admins are violating their own ToS by allowing LML posts to get federated to LW.

A lot of the content on Lemmy.ml that is endorsed by their admins breaks rules 1, 2, 4, and 5.1 of the Lemmy.world terms of service. By staying federated with them, the admins are facilitating this content's transfer to Lemmy.world's servers, which is against their own terms of service.
