Started using lemmy.dbzer0.com as my primary instance. Noticed on the right hand side they have their rules listed.

Is dbzer0 not aware that his instance is CHOCK FULL of tankie shit and porn?

    Idk about the porn, but for the tankie thing, it’s probably because it’s just a political insult that doesn’t have any real meaning like “libshit”, “demonrat”, etc so enforcement is very subjective

    I’m also not on dbzer0 so take my comment with a grain of salt

      “Tankie” has a reasonably specific meaning. Tankies are apologists for authoritarian regimes that are typically communist (or formerly, or nominally).

        It seems simple enough, but what constitues “authoritarian” or even “communist” always changes from person-to-person
