The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Good question!
Essentially, if you readily forgive communist regimes any atrocities and defend red imperialism, you are a tankie.
You are not a tankie for suggestion to read Marx - and I believe you were misinterpreted as people coming from .ml and talking about Marx are most commonly tankies, sadly. But we should never assume that.
I certainly recommend reading the works of Marx, Engels, and Lenin, and it shouldn't mean I am a tankie indeed.
Even if we assume these people exist and are not the fringe, what makes you think it was a misinterpretation? All Marxists are being called tankies, and words are being put in Marxists mouths. Even Anarchists are being called tankies now over on .world if they criticize Biden in any way.
Don't you think this is just a consequence of an instance taking a deliberately anti-Marxist stance?
I think it's a consequence of poor representation by many actual tankies, multiplied by a concentrated effort to silence any critique of Biden to boost his ratings as someone just a bit less evil than Trump.
This is a big clusterfuck, and I hope to have a better dialogue between authoritarian socialists, liberal socialists and people who consider themselves "left" because they vote Democrat (Murica did a great job at straying people away from actual socialism).
Hostility won't help either side, but tankies are stubborn and Biden-prophets are relentless, dividing the community of people who all want a more equal and happy world.
