It varies from instance to instance. The main users of the word "tankie" are blahaj.zone, lemmy.world, and sh.itjust.works from what I've seen, most other instances generally aren't as bad about it IMO.

I think I posted something critical of conscripting people to make them fight over who they pay taxes to at the end and got called a tankie and Russian bot.

It is entirely consistent with anarchism to be critical of states using coercive violence to force people to fight for their preservation.

Some of the libs on this protocol are intensely derranged, I think for many it's their first time seeing that people out there disagree with some of their sacred assumptions and it breaks their brains.

For sure, libs get scratched easily these days.
