    Back when I used reddit it seemed like everyone threw around Fascist in a similar way. Lemmy seems to prefer Tankie. For a lot of people the thinking doesn’t go any farther than “I disagree with you, therefore you are ________ist” or whatever.

    It is what it is.

        Yep, and unfortunately a lot of fascists on Reddit.

        I do like how whenever a conservative Lemmy pops up, it has more trolls than users and the mods abandon it within a few weeks.

      It varies from instance to instance. The main users of the word “tankie” are blahaj.zone, lemmy.world, and sh.itjust.works from what I’ve seen, most other instances generally aren’t as bad about it IMO.
