The shear amount of tankiness over on lemmy.ml is making me seriously consider leaving the platform.
i mean its literally .ml so im not sure exactly what you were expecting? except for most of the reddfugees being directed there, the core demographic is tankies. just use an instance more alligned with your values instead; i use slrpnk.net because well im an Anarcho-Solarist.
and if the tankie content really impacts your enjoyment of lemmy, just block offending users or communities.

fairly sure that isn’t as obvious for most people as you think it is
People as deep into the ideology as people on here are think the dog whistles are signposts.
I’m on another instance but it’s making me rather uncomfortable that a lot of the traffic is happening on an instance that seems like it’s 90 CCP members and Russian trolls.
lemmy.ml is federated with most other instances (yes, including lemmygrad.ml). I would say the content on lemmy.ml is pretty indicative of the norm across the fediverse. my feed is diverse enough to remain interesting to me without many extreme examples of any sort.
various instances will have different vibes and different local content. find instances that you jive with and you are golden. if those instances generally play nice with the network at large, then their content will be available widely. if not, then just center your experience around the local content on those instances.
federation makes.the best of all worlds avaliable to you.
Follow the link, that’s happening on lemmy.ml not lemmygrad.ml.
???.. and? you have got to self filter the stuff you don’t want to see if its that triggering for you. block posters, communities and, if needed, switch instances to something you prefer. there are other instances that offer a more “curated” experience. last resort… set up your own instance - you can be your own god king.
personally I have no issue seeing things i disaree with. If it goes past my personal line, I block.
Most Reddit posts referring to lemmy direct people to lemmy.ml it’s effectively the landing page of the platform and if that landing page is being used to recruit people into a shitty authoritarian ideology then that taints the entire platform.
rather than leaving the platform, find or host yourself an instance that blocks the tankie instances… I’m loving sh.itjust.works so far, which blocks lemmygrad.ml - that’s the beauty of federation
This is happening on lemmy.ml I can cope with there being instances for tankies, what’s bothering me is one of the main instances pretending their not so that they can push straight up recruitment shit at people who don’t know.
no, that’s lemmigrad.
Follow the link and tell me that isn’t straight up blur the lines recruitment BS.
I consider myself a centrist. I think Leninists and Maoists both have good ideas. :)
The way things are on there I can’t even tell if this is just a joke.
