A “tankie bar” is a place that runs off all the bigots, imperialists, zionists, etc until the only people who feel safe are a diverse community of marginalized people and their allies.
Downvoted maybe, but not banned except for a few extremist instances (which I’ve blocked anyway) or if your expressing said opinions hostily maybe. Also, remember that the problem with Lemmy being so small is it’s often like one guy deciding on bans in a lot of channels.
That’s true of three or four instances out of dozens if not hundreds.
Opinions that are center left or center right will routinely get banned on major communities here.
On those three or four instances, sure.
On the biggest instance, though, it’s the other way around: if a statement doesn’t align with the nominally center left to centrist (but actually right to far right) norms and positions of the DNC leadership, it’s derided as “purity testing” or “a Republican op” and downvoted to hell if not removed.

This person catches bans from feddit.org for posting anti-immigrant shit, if you’re far enough right, every instance is a “tankie” instance.
