"Tankies" is used to mean several different things, from the horrible pro-Putin stuff over on lemmygrad to anything left of liberal. I'm reminded of how the right wing of the UK labour party called their sabotage of Corbyn "Trot hunting"

I spread the word on any instance having a discussion about it. lemm.ee currently has a post up about federating with Hexbear.
The word is "fuck tankies with a rake." If they do end up federated with Hexbear, I would consider defederating from lemm.ee. But, that's just my personal take. Blahaj isn't my home instance.

I agree with not tolerating tankies.

This seems a little.... dramatic, however. Please take care of yourself - I know how drama can be and if you are anything like me the urge to reply ASAP can cause anxiety and stress and taking time to breathe may be helpful. Especially with tankies and a more general variety of internet folks who can make people feel the need to constantly watch anything you say cus they tend to pick up on some tiny thing and run with it or engage in bad faith :/ nya

The amount of upvotes on some truly heinous replies in this thread (and many other threads here) should be alarming to anyone.

Moss don't be leaking DM's in the future. You need to be tactical to be socially responsible. You could ask us - should we remove the banner? Or make a post saying that it may be upsetting Hexbears. I think the sentiment would have gone absolutely the same without showing your cards.

I want less politics in my feed and I'm tired of their veiled attempt to put more in mine

Hexbears are depleting their year's supply of copium. Oh, I just remembered: I joined this instance because of Vaush.

Im somewhere in between
