While I don't agree with the 'tankie' rhetoric (it's been thrown around so much that word has no meaning here), mod abuse has definitely gotten out of control across most online communities.

It's opening up an opportunity for communities that don't tolerate mod abuse to flourish.

The mods only have themselves to blame. Hopefully these new communities won't repeat the same mistakes.

Why are right wingers the only ones who ever try to devalue the meaning of words?

If they don't like being called tankies or nazis they are free to chage their beleifs, same as you if you feel like you are being grouped in for your beliefs.

We’re going to allow some “flat earth” comments. We’re going to force some moderators to accept some “flat earth” comments

Yup, when I think of tankies I think about the flat earth conspiracy. 🙄

Tankies want to put minorities in camps as a distraction from real policy while they give money to rich people.

At least that's what all the politicians they support want.

Im sure all their supporters aren't that malicious, but that's who they vote for.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Oh I understand. You just don't know what words mean.

[–] NuclearDolphin@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

You are absolutely tripping if you think anyone wants that.

Who do tankies vote for exactly?
