Please don't put any hate comments against the developers of lemmy or against the person who posted this.

I am also unhappy about what the main lemmy instance is doing.

Tankie is a pejorative term that originates with CPGB to denounce the use of tanks by the Soviet during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Recently it's been picked up by Anarchists and liberals as a slur against people who support existing socialist states like China or Cuba. Communists tend to use it ironically nowadays because the term pretty much lost all meaning at this point.
