Cowbee being predictable as ever
oh no, im not a tankie, i just post in hexbear and call myself a tankie
funny thing is that I'm referring to both of them lol
im starting to see tankie posts infiltrating the political memes community on here.
Starting?
In general, shitting on other nobodies from social networks is weak sauce. It doesn't look cool and interesting to new users. And it genuinely sucks to see a bunch of dorks jerking themselves off at how dumb you are, even if you're right.
But this community is lighthearted and cathartic. ๐คช I hope it stays this way. If they come visit, please be civil! There's another person on the other side of the computers.
Oh gosh, I better be scared of posting here... wouldn't want to be fash (in the eyes of tankies). :P Scared, not scared.
Heck, even if the accusations have merit, I'd rather be Daryl Davis, than leave it to fester in a worsening echo chamber.
Either way, "Cui bono?"

Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. โ Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech โ You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia โ (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether it be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism โ No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users, as it handwaves their extremism.
Off-topic Discussion โ Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling โ If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
