Hi. I have been banned form Tankie Jerk at piefed.social

No wonder there. I asked how they defined tankie and fun followed. But:

I am trying to understand how piefed differs from lemmy and how people end up on piefed?

The vagueness is a necessary component to ensure people think "tankie" is a different thing to "communist". They want to define all communists as tankies while simultaneously making less aware people believe that there are communists who are not tankies. Then the baby left people try to be the "good" communists who aren't tankies. The propaganda relies on it.
