Was there some sort of assurance that nothing was going to happen when the contract expired, and this expectation was changed? Freenom hasn't been registering domains since Jan 1.

It's seeming a little odd to me that this is catching people with their pants down.

From wikipedia

Tankie is a pejorative label for communists and those who align with Marxism–Leninism ideology. More generally, the term "tankie" has been applied for those who express support for one-party socialist republics that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical.

They usually praise communism and ignore the flaws and horrible practices of things like the U.S.S.R

They are the best example of why left unity is bullshit. Tankies are okay with literal fascism as long as it doesn't involve a western country.

One comment said far left, the next fascists which is the far right. I'm starting to think people are just saying a term that isn't being consistently defined.

Congratulations, you have deduced that the "political compass" is nonsense
