Originally a light-hearted post poking fun at and doing a survey to gather input, but it has turned into a thought-provoking deeper dive into what it really means to be someone that people would call a “tankie”. Note that to some (die-hard conservatives), we all are “tankies” on the Fediverse, but is there a meaning beyond the pejorative of merely “holding a belief that I do not personally agree with”? Come and join the fun, or read about the community consensus even long into the future?
