I'm trans and I really don't want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren't getting de-modded and banned. I also don't want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.
Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.
The "tankie" cliche is a powerful information weapon. It preps people to dismiss everything they encounter from mls, at minimum, but likely a lot of other left politics gets caught in the cross fire. I really wonder how the anti-tankie crowd encounters revolutionary Anarchism. Many of them seem extremely hostile to any form of revolution and any use of force to achieve political goals, and to the admittedly very limited degree I've talked to them seem to think anarchism is when you let everyone do whatever they want, without a lot of theory beyond that. It seems, and I hope this is just my limited experience with them, that their politics begins and ends at "you cannot force anyone to do anything for any reason".
