    Encourage users to create content on Lemmy communities hosted on non-tankie instances.

      My problem with this ideology is while there are plenty of tankies on Lemmy, the term gets overapplied.

      Some people think anyone to the left of Bill Kristol is a tankie.

        Thanks for pointing this out. To some people, advocates for things like socialized healthcare are ‘tankies’. Its hard to tell what people mean anymore by it, and one persons tankie might be another’s centrist at this point.

        Yeah… The label of “tankie” seems to be used to describe “anyone to the left of me”.

        It’s so widely applied to the point of reaching meaninglessness.
