The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of "left solidarity"

Now personally I think we have the word takie pretty well defined in our rules and have no intention of changing it. Fuck tankies, they don't belong here.
I didn't write fuck commies, or fuck libtards, (I am a vocal socialist and very far left) or anything like that, the banner is specifically about pro-auth dictator-worshipping tankies.

    Holy fuck great start to federation, like just actual semantics trolling. I don't even know what else to call it, you have 0 pushback on the fact you praise dictators, it's actually amazing.

    Being called a liberal is insulting enough. Most liberals will identify as progressives.
