What's a Tankie? (lemmy.world)

I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I'm asking the people who know better than Google.

There are no hexbear responses because .world is defederated from Hexbear. Hex has little tolerance for liberalism in my experience, because that's the default on the english-speaking internet.

I’m confused. Maybe I don’t understand federation as well as I thought.

~~This post originates on .ml, right?

So what does .world’s federation status with hexbear have to do with my ability to see hexbear posts on .ml?~~

Edit: Ah, no, the post does in fact originate on .world so .world’s federation status with hexbear is determinant for the lack of hexbear posts, not my individual blocking of the instance.

Yep, the comm is .ml but the poster is .world, ao it's like it's invisible to anyone that can't see both .ml and .world.

because .world is defederated from Hexbear

Other way around. .world is defederated from lemmygrad, but you can still find this post on there

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Hex and .world are mutually defederated, no? .world defederated first I thought.

[–] Edie@lemmy.ml 7 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes. But... technically it doesn't show up on hexbear because hexbear defederated from .world, and if it wasn't mutual it would show up (as seen with 'grad)

Edit: It's an pretty much a useless distinction that I'm probably only making cuz I should go to bed.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 17 hours ago

Haha, fair! Grad can see it, but hex can't, that's what I meant.
