A tankie is someone who is pro-communist dictators, put shortly.
You’ll find them on hexbear and other instances that your instance has hopefully defederated from.
Is being toxic a requirement for joining hexbear? It sure seems like it.
They are easily riled and while I doubt there is intentional coordination in place, due to their fervour, they can come across like a brigade. If you speak up against them - cue the hexbears flocking to this comment no doubt - they can get quite vicious, as my comment history will witness.
Hexbear sounds like a sigma male hangout. It sure is gay to defederate such a place.
