    SJW hosts two communities that probably generate 99% of the issues/hate our instance gets: NonCredibleDefense, which is basically just edge-y military shitposting, and this community which is entirely based around making fun of tankies.

    In NCD some of the takes can be really hot, but I’m usually pretty sure it’s a joke. Sometimes it can go too far, though.

    This com is fine idk. Unless you’re a tankie and you come here to read about yourself getting mocked, I guess.

      Tankies are allowed in this community so long as they can behave

        I didn’t mean to imply they aren’t allowed- just that I don’t think anyone would really consider this community an issue unless they’re a tankie that’s mad about being mocked.

      NCD is easy to tell if it’s a joke. If it sounds like it’s out of a looney tunes episode or something that should be, (but isn’t yet) a war crime… Then they are completely serious. If they’re giving anything that sounds like credible analysis then they’re joking.

      As an example, advocating the use of “Rods from God”. Those are tungsten telephone poles accelerated towards the planet from orbit. They are not nuclear but you wouldn’t know the difference from the result.

      Versus soberly relaying that Western Anti Tank Missiles are having trouble tracking Russian tanks due to burner pots the tanks drag behind them.

      Yeah… Now that I think of it, NCD is where I first spotted jarring content.

      It’s mostly been them (•_•)
