I have seen my fair share of tankies here, so there definitely is a presence of them here. But I also do think a lot of the complaints come from people who assume any leftist user or post is also a "tankie."
Like I do see a lot of leftist memes posted to [email protected], which might be where a lot of the complaints are coming from. Likewise there has been a lot of drama with hexbear federating with a lot of communities that were previously shielded from them.
I'm talking about hexbear as tankie specifically. I haven't really seen any reasonable leftists on that instance. They use lib as an insult to give an idea.
So the instance that has anarchists and syndicalists on it (as well as, MLists, MSMists, and Stalinists, and more) are all tankies?
I only came across tankies. I couldn't find anyone in the few days we were federated who would condemn Russia's invasion or China's treatment of the Uyghurs. Maybe they're on there, but I didn't find any.
