I’m not sure I’ve seen any evidence of it existing though, is it just a Boogeyman, or so something that happened a while back? An in joke of some sort?

    Some of them stick to posting mostly anti-west sentiment outside their home tanky friendly instances, but if you get in the right comment section. Oh man do they get wild. Crazy pro China propoganda. Lots of Russian support cuz the west is evil.

    I haven’t seen tankie content, but it’s not like I actively search for it.

    I do see a lot of whining about tankie content, mostly from people who post bigoted shit.

    It’s mostly Hexbear, and they know they are annoying. The politics on Lemmy is… wildly different from what a regular social media looks like.

    Diehard democrats finding out they’re not as leftist as they thought they were. Anything that runs counter to their narrative is “tankie”. They’re afraid of what is different and it’s their version of calling everything they don’t understand/like “woke”.
