Isn’t it the opposite here. Idk if when they say tankie they mean leftist hexbear users or maga type right wing people. That’s not trying to insult hexbear. I literally don’t know.
I get called a tankie or centrist here compared to reddit where only a few times I was called a centrist.
Because they don’t exist, people will say it’s because they were part of hexbear or another defederated instance but I’ve checked them out and they’re more or less the same maybe a bit more left leaning but certainly not tankies
Same here, these people constantly complaining about “tankies” seem to vastly outnumber the alleged tankies in my experience

Tankie generally means a Marxist-Leninist, specifically ones that support the USSR under Stalin
Removed my comment, you were correct I was misinformed
No worries, happy to see some humility online

I’m mostly convinced it’s bots or conservatives
Yeah I have an account on lemmy.ml and I don’t see it there. Maybe buried in the modlog? Which is public?
