What is a tankie?

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

    I already don’t recall but apologies if I ever did slip into that for a moment

    No apology needed, if anything I’m the one who gets a little terse sometimes.

    that’s some heavier stuff that I am glad you will take time to think about. B/c it is absolutely disrespectful of the admins to the community for them to not follow their own rules

    Will do!

    also b/c I hope to be able to converse with you again on the Fediverse!:-)

    And you as well!

    I’m sure we’ll bump into each other again. Whether I’ll still be on this instance or account though? Only time will tell… :)
