I got banned from a (presumably) rational community. Just curious if anyone has had experience with this and what next steps are. (lemmy.world)

FWIW, the community was worldnews@lemmy.ml.

I assume I was banned because I said I understood Biden opposing surgery on minors, specifically trans surgery. Although I disagreed with it.

lemmy.ml is a tankie community, so this is not that surprising. It's a matter of time before I get banned from there too lol.

I've seen the term tankie thrown around a lot recently. Can you please define it? I'm not quite sure I understand.

Nutshell: auth left.

In practice they'll stan any US adversary. Common themes include uyghur genocide denial, blaming nato for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Soviet atrocity apologia, the works.
