What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

this one doesn't have many up votes but that comment is so tame and yet it still gets removed... what an absolute joke.
For as short as the comment was, it was a pretty nuanced take. It just didn't suck Stalin's dick, which is important since tankies aren't communists like they think and say they are, they're Stalinists, and Stalinism is basically fascism wearing Karl Marx's torn off face as a mask.
The Tankie Triad needs to be permanently defederated.
They can't keep to themselves, they exist to harass and brigade normal communities, but can't take an ounce of criticism of their invalid ideology.
The whole space feels like a CCP troll farm.
Literally feels the same as r/sino
