moretankie196.lemmy.ml is also pretty tankies friendly. Lemmy.world is the only instance I'm using regularly although suggestions of other good ones are welcome

What's a 196? What's a tankie?
196 is the subreddit that this community is based on. The only official rules are that you must post before you leave and you can't be a bigot. It ends up basically like r/shitposting, except aggressively pro-LGBTQ instead of anti.
A tankie is a leftist who thinks that Mao, Stalin, and Castro were cool.
A 196 is a meme sharing forum with the name 196. I don't really know how to describe a tankie, but something like: a leftist person who glorifies autocracy and the use of force to make a leftist utopia.
Thanks. I guess that I am grateful that I don't know about either of those things.
But if you force people in, it's a prison, not a utopia...

Originally, tankies were Western Leftists who defended the USSR when it used literal tanks to crush popular revolutions in Czechoslovakia and Hungary.
«tankie» is a term used to describe communists who support or are critically supportive of so-called "authoritarian regimes" (AES (actual existing socialism) such as Cuba, the USSR, China, Vietnam, the DPRK, Laos, etc.) or their actions.
The guy driving the tank rather than standing in front of it.
The community is called moretankie196 and I'm not sure what the server is exactly called
