RULE 1:IF YOU VISIT THIS COMMUNITY, YOU MUST POST BEFORE LEAVING!! The Lemmy equivalent of r/196 on Reddit. Not officially affiliated (yet).
Any moderators from the reddit can have mod here, just ask.
Right now, there's another 196 over on blahaj.zone. if that one ends up having more users, I'll rename this community.

What's a 196? What's a tankie?
196 is the subreddit that this community is based on. The only official rules are that you must post before you leave and you can't be a bigot. It ends up basically like r/shitposting, except aggressively pro-LGBTQ instead of anti.
A tankie is a leftist who thinks that Mao, Stalin, and Castro were cool.
A 196 is a meme sharing forum with the name 196. I don't really know how to describe a tankie, but something like: a leftist person who glorifies autocracy and the use of force to make a leftist utopia.
Thanks. I guess that I am grateful that I don't know about either of those things.
