A tankie is someone who is pro-communist dictators, put shortly.

You’ll find them on hexbear and other instances that your instance has hopefully defederated from.

Is being toxic a requirement for joining hexbear? It sure seems like it.

Hexbear's been isolated for a while, and their site developed a culture of trashing on people who "debate" in bad faith, as well as some other stuff like PPB which is weird especially for outsiders.

If you're browsing internal Hexbear posts, you'll find lots of posts under irony which make them perhaps difficult to appreciate. I'd recommend visiting Lemmygrad first.
