I'm hearing Lemmy itself, the .ml instance and some others are ran by Tankies that censor criticism of russia and china. What are your thoughts on this? (lemmy.world)

Please excuse my ignorance: what’s a “tanky/tankies”?

[-] shanghaibebop@beehaw.org 18 points 1 year ago

Derisive term for communist authoritarian who support left wing ideology and also state violence to maintain their power.

Common themes include whitewashing Mao and Stalin history, and dismissing current state sanctioned violence against minorities in “communist” countries.
