The shear amount of tankiness over on lemmy.ml is making me seriously consider leaving the platform.

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.

yeah thas just the consequence of that instance being linked in a lot of exodus posts... not much we can change but i assume itll equalize out as lemmy grows and people spread out to other instances. ofc that a lot of the communities are on .ml sucks but that too may change with future developments such as multi-community implementations.

Reddit had a huge amount of tankies that only lived on a handful of isolated subreddits.
It makes sense that they'd flock to the Lemmy where the FDQN literally stands for Marxist/Leninist.

I don't know about others but this hasn't been my experience. From what I've noticed a lot of left or left-leaning subreddits have been taken over by tankie mods.
I'm much happier with how kbin/lemmy/mastodon/etc work, at least this way I can choose my left/hard-left/left-leaning communities that I wish to interact with without them being controlled by tankies or other authoritarian flavors.

Why does this comment, and the one it's responding to show, up in 3 places?

Edit: I'm actually seeing this elsewhere too. Maybe it's quirk of cross communication between instances?

"everyone who disagrees is a russian troll/ccp paid shill" aight mate. Just get on beehaw and eventually they'll defederate from lemmy.ml too and you'll be good.
