I almost chose lemmygrad because I thought it was a funny pun, but then I realised they were being serious..
Wait, what does it mean?
Leningrad probably
Apparently lemmy.ml has tankie admins: https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199
Some of those comments are mega-yikes
As far as doing stuff on the fediverse, they largely don't matter.
But they would definitely say something about the user. I'm not going to be surprised if someone (correctly) thinks I am a furry, coming from Yiffit.
Exactly. I’m bland for being from world. .ml is pretty tanky, but I can appreciate a lot they’ve got, and there’s a few others where I’ll think something of you if I notice your instance
Well, what is a tankie
It's the new word for "commie" that I've only ever seen on Lemmy. I'm guessing some people thought that was a bit too cliche.
‘Tankie’ has been a thing since tanks rolled into Eastern Europe in the 1950s…
I've seen it on Reddit a lot, but usually from UK and Australian users.
Not new, Tankies have existed since Khrushchev sent tanks to shut down a revolution in Hungary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Revolution_of_1956 And was a way to describe hardliners by the mid sixties.
NGL most the rain I chose a mostly trans community. Cis myself but at least I know I'll avoid most of the goobers I encountered in Reddit.
I have tankie tendencies.
Where instance? There instance.
