What are tankies? What does sea-lioning mean?
I've run across these terms several times, but without enough context to figure out what they mean. Could someone help me out, please?
ETA All of you are amazing! A huge thank you to everyone who responded, and an extra thank you to those who have provided links or explanations to further and/or related information. I am learning so much by reading all of these comments!

For sea-lioning, here’s the comic the term originated from to explain it
Thank you, that really explains it! I was afraid that I may come across as sea-lioning sometimes because I tend to ask lots of questions, but the comic makes it more clear what sea-lioning is.
It boils down to whether you argue in good faith. Even better, if you discuss in good faith. Asking a lot of questions that comes from a desire to learn or from curiosity usually lands differently then the disingenuous questioning of someone like a tankie
I can't seem to open the link, it just says "There's nothing here" I'm not sure if it's my Lemmy client or if it's just gone, but does anybody have a mirror?
That's weird, here's just the link without any formatting. Try this: https://wondermark.com/c/1k62/
I think jerboa (and maybe other lemmy UIs) is interpreting that as a link to a community and trying to open !1k62@wondermark.com
Same with Connect.
Yep, I think you're right. I can probably bypass this with a link shortener, but it's not worth selling out people's data. Just copy and paste it if you're running into issues.
