I've learned so many labels from lemmy. Still not sure what a hexbear or tankie is. This one's new to me. Enlighten me?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Hexbear is a socialist Lemmy instance. Tankies is a term used to describe authoritarian communists by people that dislike them.

It is "agitation propaganda" if I understand correctly and is supposed to inform and agitate people towards revolution and class warfare (which is a great thing imo).

To the other two: Hexbear seems to be housing much radical thought. I'm not sure which extreme but one definitely. Tankie I looked up as well earlier this week: It's a person that glorifies autocratic communist states such as north korea iirc.

I can't believe people unironically are "tankies". Or paid. Or bots. But not real humans.

Makes sense. I have no idea. Feel free to visit places like that and update us on your findings. :)

Is it me or is Lemmy significantly more lefty than that other cesspool of a platform? Not complaining though.
