Same here, these people constantly complaining about "tankies" seem to vastly outnumber the alleged tankies in my experience

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.

Tankie generally means a Marxist-Leninist, specifically ones that support the USSR under Stalin

Removed my comment, you were correct I was misinformed

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

No worries, happy to see some humility online

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't seen a single one personally

Your instance has defederated from them.

Uh-huh, expect I went to hexbear, it's made up in the public consciousness

[-] franklin@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

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

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?
