I think moderators of LBZ's own Liberty Hub have been called tankies by people at .world or sh.itjust.works

So it already is a muddled definition so who is on either side of the distinction is not consistent and can be used to alienate people from this community who would like to participate. If a stalin meme gets posted remove that or whatever but i dont think the community needs to be worried about malicious infiltrators

I'd like to second Sop's request to remove "no tankie" because i have seen people use it to insult any kind of person left of the united states liberal parties. Anarchist? get called a tankie, slrpnk got called "tankie", and the list goes on

It has the same energy as "woke" it is just a pejorative used to split us

besides anything a "tankie" says that would be out of pocket would be against every other rule anyway so why not make a small gesture to include leftist trans shitposters that get called tankie on the lemmyverse no matter what their political ideology is
