The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of "left solidarity"

Honestly I think we should change our banner.

On the app Jerboa at least it's hard to see that it says fuck tankies, it really should be more clear.

Perhaps having it off to one side, split across both sides, mentioned on both sides, across the bottom 3 times, etc. IDK graphic design is hard.

I'm realizing there's been a serious shortage of Bef being posted here. Someone should get on that.

I must be out of the loop here as I'm having a tough time understanding your comment

Is your comment an initialism of some kind? Or is it a typo?

it's what the banner says in the image you posted
