The exact wording seems to be "banned content", which includes a lot more than just violence (is violence banned in the first place, considering subs like r/PublicFreakout?).

I hope his pineapple sizes pale in comparison to Trump's and Elon's.

Its still not as bad as how Twitter works. If you wanna say “kill all the (group)” you just search for someone else who wrote it and then retweet that. Then if someone challenges you, you just say “not my words bro”.

It used to be a word for people who defended Stalin sending tanks to Hungary in the 50s. It caught on in leftist discourse as a word for leftists who excuse illegitimate state violence, domestically and abroad. Though on Lemmy, like reddit before it, it's mostly thrown around at anyone who disagrees that the US used to a be radiant light in the world until 2016 or anyone left of Pelosi.

Stalin was dead by then!

For God sake, could people learn about things before giving their takes?

So if you know what the word "commie" meant during the cold war, "tankie" means the same thing, just said by people who don't want to seem like elderly boomers

Radical centrists who want a form of socialism where everyone is oppressed by the state, thereby combining the ideas of the left and the right.

Yes, which might be the give away that it's a strawman, and nobody actually believes in that or wants that.

Just another way to allow hateful right wing content to stay up while punishing users who aren’t retarded for upvoting Luigi memes and saying trump is a fascist etc

What else is new on Reddit? They should just pull the trigger and make an official bigots only policy like twitter

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

I hate the uprising of the word tankie like the rise of the word woke. Just more language to make walls between people.

[–] arotrios@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

In case you're wondering what's considered "violent content" on Reddit and how far they'll push this definition, calling the top 10 breakdown of healthcare CEOs "Luigi's List" counts.
