Funny how db0 actually acknowledges they have double standards regarding tankies and yet Unruffled remains an admin. Their instance can't possibly be attracting tankies because at least one of the admins is openly supporting them /s
Db0 themself has double standards. They'll go from denouncing tankies in one comment, then defending the biggest tankies on the platform in the next. Their inaction, as you pointed out, further speaks to this. Where they will denounce tankies, but then do nothing about said tankies like keeping them as moderators.
Allowing a community to exist despite holding it under a critical stance should not seem so alarming or outrageous.
ML's are well informed? Well informed about gibberish and world salad?
From "We don't have a tankie problem" to "Wow, all these people we've been asspatting are fucking tankies"
But don't worry, the groupthink will set in and they'll go back to "Saying that MLs aren't red fascists is totally not tankie"

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 it 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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
