What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

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.

Lead Lemmy Developer, Dessalines, denying the Tiananmen Square Massacre and praising the Uyghur Genocide

As someone living in Poland I have no idea what is he talking about. Poland is like any other european country. Maybe somewhat more right wing leaning than western EU, but that's it.
@BlackLaZoR Oh, right, so it's the same nazi-calling-of-whatever-they-don't-like stuff they usually do. Kind of a far left version of "Look what's happening in Sweden" kind of thing.
About the Sweden thing, I think he was probably talking about the bombings but I don't know much about it
@tkk13909 not sure what bombings. The thing is that back then Sweeden was regarded as a highly progressive country, with similar refugee-accepting policies of Germany. The far/alt-right was consistently showcasing how because of the refugees related policies, terror attacks were rampant. Yet that was not the case.
you called for me?

Really? JFC
Lmao, poland mentioned
Lmao, poland mentioned
Hmm. That reads just like the most sane lemmygrad.ml user. Could that whole place be just actual bots?
I’ve got no loyalty at all to communism or marxism. But I do have a loyalty to honesty, and I have to object. I don’t see a denial of the Massacre in the screenshotted comment. I see a characterization of it as some kind of US-led attack.
They aren’t saying anything like “that didn’t happen” or “people didn’t die”. Maybe they say it elsewhere, but not here.
Bingo. There's a difference between saying it didn't happen and "it happened but it was good". I would say later is worse. But pretending they are saying something they clearly are not isn't good
LOOK GUYZ I THINK HE MITHT HAVE A POIJT THERWA NOFFIN THERE
