I’m not sure I’ve seen any evidence of it existing though, is it just a Boogeyman, or so something that happened a while back? An in joke of some sort?
I’ve just been blocking instances. I realized after the fact that I signed up with lemmy.ml, which contributes to it, but was the only instance that was quickly approving people when I signed up. It may be time to switch instances, or finally get off my ass and make my own.
I don’t mind some of the ideas, but seeing people constantly sucking off Russia and China gets old in a hurry.
Saw a comment from a dude calling everyone on .ml Nazis earlier today and was like wtf??? Looked at his comment history, pro Russia tanky calling any NATO/pro NATO country Nazis/Nazi lovers. Some people are just crazy deluded. Ukraine is full of Nazis cuz it was taken by Germany in WW2 AND EVERYONE KNOWS ITS STILL ALL NAZIS.
Looking at your account, you’re on a instance that is defederated with the worst offenders
Make a lemmy.ml account and pop into any thread that talks about Ukraine and you won’t be confused anymore lol
Personally, I don’t mind one bit that they’re communist, but their trollish behavior and their tendency to act like China and Russia (and I’ve even seen a few for North Korea) are bastions of individual liberty, prosperity, and justice with no faults makes them exactly as annoying as the super nationalist western folks who act the same about the US or Europe (depending usually purely on where they’re from).
Basically it’s not a communist problem, it’s a troll problem where the trolls all happen to be communist
You’re welcome to join lemm.ee and have a look. Its not a pretty sight though
Huh? What tankies are in lemm.ee? It’s based in Estonia…
lemm.ee hasn’t defederated from hexbear.net or lemmygrad.lm
They don’t need to have an lemm.ee account to post there
Some of them stick to posting mostly anti-west sentiment outside their home tanky friendly instances, but if you get in the right comment section. Oh man do they get wild. Crazy pro China propoganda. Lots of Russian support cuz the west is evil.
Check out lemmy.grad
I haven’t seen tankie content, but it’s not like I actively search for it.
I do see a lot of whining about tankie content, mostly from people who post bigoted shit.
What posts about the tankie problem? I’ve seen none of these posts?
Isn’t that the whole point of federation and seperate community spaces? Don’t like what you see? Fuck off someplace else. I haven’t seen a single instance of brigading or amything like that. Is this just pearl clutching by reddit refuges?
Diehard democrats finding out they’re not as leftist as they thought they were. Anything that runs counter to their narrative is “tankie”. They’re afraid of what is different and it’s their version of calling everything they don’t understand/like “woke”.

I’ve been brigaded by tankies on a Ukraine thread. Anyone that argues Russia is justified and everything evil is the West is seriously warped or a massive troll. You aren’t looking very hard if you haven’t seen it.
Ahh, yes. The “Stalin did nothing wrong” posts are possessing of nuance worthy of discussion and aren’t trashy troll takes at all
