I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I'm asking the people who know better than Google.

I had no idea this would ignite a shitstorm. I have so many responses now and less idea of what a tankie is now than when I asked.

    Ask with an account federated with Hexbear and Lemmygrad, and you'll get more communist perspectives.

    I actively ban hexbear’s entire instance. I relish the fact that I simply can’t see all the hexbear responses to this thread. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone on hexbear (pre banning) that was even remotely open to considering other viewpoints. It just became so toxic, so quick, whenever their users get involved.

    There are no hexbear responses because .world is defederated from Hexbear. Hex has little tolerance for liberalism in my experience, because that's the default on the english-speaking internet.

    because .world is defederated from Hexbear

    Other way around. .world is defederated from lemmygrad, but you can still find this post on there

    Hex and .world are mutually defederated, no? .world defederated first I thought.

    Yes. But... technically it doesn't show up on hexbear because hexbear defederated from .world, and if it wasn't mutual it would show up (as seen with 'grad)

    Edit: It's an pretty much a useless distinction that I'm probably only making cuz I should go to bed.

    I’m confused. Maybe I don’t understand federation as well as I thought.

    ~~This post originates on .ml, right?

    So what does .world’s federation status with hexbear have to do with my ability to see hexbear posts on .ml?~~

    Edit: Ah, no, the post does in fact originate on .world so .world’s federation status with hexbear is determinant for the lack of hexbear posts, not my individual blocking of the instance.

    So, basically, this person is happy to blind themselves to other viewpoints to avoid viewpoints they disagree with/people they claim are blind to other viewpoints.

    ... what an enlightened individual!

    I'm saying each community bans something different. I agree with banning fascist discourse, I dont agree with banning communist discourse. .world thinks otherwise and that's why it's shit IMO.
