    What is a tanky? Only heard that after switching to Lemmy. What’s the origin?

      tankie = stalinist/maoist style communist, take control of everything, anyone who resists, run them over with tanks.

      lemmy.ml has a bunch, also hexbear and especially lemmygrad.

      They seem like angsty tweens who suddenly realized they figured out the solution to everything, and anyone who doesn’t listen to them must be dealt with.
