there's too many comments and posts for me to view all of them, so the way that we can deal with them is you, the glorious people of 196 reporting them as you see them.

OOTL what are tankies?
left wing bootlickers
Allegedly left-wing bootlickers. Historically, they are more comparable to fascists than anything leftist.
I support the anti-aurhoritarian backbone of this, but it would probably be more helpful to focus on the content we want to avoid rather than assuming people will all have the same idea of what being a "tankie" entails. Not loving having dark violent imagery on my feed either but oh well.
I mean, the definition is kinda clear.
