The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of "left solidarity"

The context is that I pointed out their ableism and the fact that the whole "tankie" thing is often leveled at non-white organizations and people striving for liberation and they removed my comments while using more ableist language in the modlog.

I tried to be diplomatic and will still put forth that effort but wrt this Moss person, the gloves are off.
