What is a tankie? Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to
authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by
such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to
those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics,
whether contemporary or historical. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Dessalines said it's because they value an interconnected fediverse, and believe in the long run it will be better to not defed from any major instance, despite the skirmishes.
I largely agree, if Hexbear and Lemmygrad can't serve that role or don't want to, it's good to have at least one major instance to expose libs to Marxism. Even if my experience would be better on Grad or Hexbear, I still like being able to try to lead libs to theory.

Drop a PPB on a dumb chud once for me, yeah?

Fair enough point.
You're a hero. I've dealt with Reddit chuds for ages but once I found this place I completely abandoned the rest of the internet, I have enough brainworms to disinfect from people around me IRL. It takes some real dedication to keep patiently talking with those nerds.
Imma be real, I'm just a recovering debate pervert lol. Appreciate the kind words, comrade!
they sound like a better person than i.
i left reddit because i couldn't stomach the absurdity and now my stomach hurts from seeing yet another rally cry for defederation on lemmy.world and i find myself wishing that they would.
