      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.

      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.
