Tankies are people who supported the Soviet use of tanks to crush rebellions in Eastern Europe in the 1960s, and has expanded into a term describing people that support totalitarian communist states and their atrocities such as modern communist China.
A bunch of Lemmy devs are tankies, unfortunately; and lemmy.ml is hosted by tankies — who also host lemmygrad.ml, whose name is reminiscent of leningrad / other similar soviet cities. I think the minecraft one there is just a server for themselves, but it’s the biggest one available I could find lol mostly cuz there isn’t any big ones yet.
