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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie]

This instance is utterly obsessed with tankies. Why would you deliberately come to a platform designed by and for communists then complain about it?

It could have easily been developed in such a way that all anti-communist sentiment is banned. Yet here you are on the communists own platform free to make your own communities and say whatever you like on them.

Shit maybe I’ll go on gab or truth social and complain about their far-right origins 🙄

I think it’s fair to complain about censorship on a platform that was founded on anti-censorship.
No it wasn’t

I was just going by what the lemmy Dev said in his Reddit post. He said he made it to circumvent Reddit censorship.
