Afaik lemmy.ml and lemmingrad are both tankie as fuck

Some people on ml aren't (though many are. I'd say it's about a 70-30 split of moderately to far left sane people (70%) to actual tankies (30%) in my admittedly completely anecdotal experience.

Have yet to see anyone from lemmygrad who's NOT a tankie, though. It's a real shame since the name is a damn fine pun!

I almost made an account there because of that, before finding out that it's more than just a joke name lol

Two groups join lemmy.ml: those who know it's the instance run by the core Lemmy developers and join hoping for a stable experience, and those who join because of the devs' political beliefs. This leads to a weird mix of actual quality content and tankie propaganda.

I wish it was all the latter so I could block the instance without losing the former.
