Went both looking for fellow tankies and seeing who I should be blocking on Mastodon by looking at the hashtag #tankies.
It gave me brain damage and I also found a few of these "lemmy is made by tankies, ewww can't use it"-posts that I had never seen before. So sharing these for our mutual enjoyment:

Also just the general vibe of the posts with this tag is just so hostile. We really live rent free in these peoples heads. Interesting how so many of these were ukraine flag or isntreal flag profiles too, also a few anne applebaum replies, because of course.
The vibe is pretty much whatever this drivel is by a true communism understander:

The tankies on Lemmy have moderation issues that leave trans users vulnerable.
Meanwhile on Hexbear, we used to ban people for even downvoting pro-trans threads.
Uphold TC69 Thought.
I didn't know you COULD downvote on Hexbear
Users on other instances federated with us can downvote us, but we care not for we know not behind Our Great Communist Firewall.
Many years ago there was a downbear button. It's good that we got rid of it - now if someone says something you don't like you gotta engage, even if it's just to post a :downbear:
Saw that downbear and panicked for a second. Worried that I said some bullshit and was called on it.
We got rid of downvotes, and we are so much more powerful for it.
Here it is a lost and forbidden dark art
Oh that's what's going on on the other commie instance? pretty cringe
lemmy vs lemmygrad, I belive. A common error
