- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of

4. No recent reposts

Are there tankies? Yes, absolutely. That being said, is the term "tankie" being thrown around way too cavalierly and dismissively on Lemmy? Ab-so-fucking-lutely.
I thought reddit was into assigning labels to people dismissively, but holy shit it's on another level here on Lemmy.
Just like how not everyone who disagreed with you on Reddit was a Nazi, not everyone who says something you dislike on Lemmy is a tankie
edit: small typo
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes

I see way to much stuff which fits in the "tankie" category.
in my honest and earnest opinionI think these people are entitled to an opinion I also believe that these people are able to express that opinion but so are the hundreds of other communities that these people may not like I see some of these tankiesnot exclusively tankiesvictimising some of the Christian communities here on lemmy this is an example from a little research and speaking to some these people from these communities I'm sure there's many more examplesEdit : this was on top page on ml not surprising considering its an ml domain but still
