Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Please be sure to obscure usernames on posts to prevent doxxing.

For the prevention of doxxing and harassment it is a good idea to censor usernames in screenshots of activity on lemmy.

Or assume that the internet is public and you have no privacy on the internet. I won't hide someone's name, then again I don't give a damn about making screenshots of random people to post elsewhere.

If you don't want to be 'doxxed' don't put your personal information on the internet. It's your job, to protect yourself. It's not my job to protect you

Yup. This.

I've had huge arguments with terminally online folks.

It's bizarre how many people don't understand the concept of not posting your real info on the Internet.

Interesting that your only post about censoring usernames is on this community, when there are other Lemmy communities that do the same but about totally different topics and I don't see posts like this by you over there. Interesting indeed...
