Not in this one they're all on the tankie instance

[-] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago

well it sounds like the tankie instance needs blocked then. What instance is that btw?

[-] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 years ago

The instance is called lemmygrad.ml and already blocked by most of the other instances. You can see blocked instances if you scroll down the page and click on the Instances button.

Their 196 is called 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

[-] Protegee9850@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

It’s over run with them. We need a world news community on Lemmy.World and calls to defederate the .ml instance

What's a 196? What's a tankie?

[-] KermitLeFrog@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] knaak@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Thanks. I guess that I am grateful that I don't know about either of those things.

A Utopia which viciously guards its borders to keep people from leaving.

[-] Hylirica@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

But if you force people in, it's a prison, not a utopia...

«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.

[-] weirdwallace75@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Originally, tankies were Western Leftists who defended the USSR when it used literal tanks to crush popular revolutions in Czechoslovakia and Hungary.

[-] moss@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The community is called moretankie196 and I'm not sure what the server is exactly called
