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.

A few years ago, the Lemmy Developers decided to keep their political views on lemmygrad while keeping lemmy.ml more neutral. Now they are banning users who are critical of their actions and bigotry.

Anti-Tankie posts may put you at risk of being banned from commenting and posting on the lemmy.ml instance.

"Not creating a positive space" for genocide denialists?

Good, cry me a fucking river.

You're painting the entire community as genocide denialists. I've gone there multiple times and that is not the case. Get out of here with your disingenuous bullshit. You're doing enough crying for all of us by crying about strawmen with your dramatic delusions. Anyone can cherry pick posts and make any community look bad.

Yes yes it's only the mods, admins, and 90% of users, not 100%, I know.

Why is there no "jerk off motion" emoji?
