The tankies are concentrated on three main instances so basically you can either block those completely or just don’t participate in any communities on them. Some do visit the non-politics coms there but I think they always end up interpreting things in a political lens so I avoid them all.
Actually a lot of the more debate-bro tankies tend to make alts elsewhere to argue. By blocking the big three (if they’re federate), you’re usually just avoiding the ones who are not very argumentative and of course all the campist-flavored topics which might be annoying.
Yea, but unfortunately the admins and mods of the Tankie Triad are the biggest Tankies around and enforce that through (ironic, because they always complain about censorship) mod action
So the best course of action, if you’re not on an instance that defed’s from them, is to not reward their comms with activity. A total boycott, no posts, no comments, no upvotes. With a little luck, all the non-tankie users will gradually shift over
Ran into several fresh accounts this week alone. TankieTanuki and something with “Stalin” in the name were the more obvious ones (I say like a random hours old account complaining about NATO in two separate threads and nothing else isn’t obvious).
Yeah I don’t personally do that but I’m just presenting the options. It doesn’t bother me to interact with tankies I just hate their censored safe spaces rife with misinformation.

The instances are Lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, and Hexbear.net.

Yeah there’s a few of those on world and probably other instances I’m sure. I block them when I see them
I find it easier to block the communities. I’d rather not post content on an instance where I’ll be banned for calling China capitalist lol
