Funny considering they use Rule 1 (no bigotry) as an excuse to ban people and silence dissenting opinions, yet won't follow it themselves.
I am Nonbinary for those who don't know. Yes it isn't obvious but it is generally bad practice to assume someone's gender.

What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
Oh man that's just scratching the surface, .ml's BrainInABox will go way off the handle, flinging all sorts of pejoratives like "shitlibs" or literally calling people scum. What do the admins/mods do? Give a 24 hour timeout from the specific comm, maybe, and for repeated offenses they might get a 1 day site ban and kindly asked to take a walk LMFAO
Say tankie though and you get 14 or 30 day comm bans right off the bat. But theres def no bias I'm sure on .ml /s
Don’t you understand, the word “tankie” is the biggest form of bigotry there is. (/s)
