    I agree that some are good examples. I think some are exaggerated but I’ll ignore those.

    The overwhelming majority of them are from hexbear finding their way to lemmy.ml. I honestly gotta check who is defederated from who. If we defederate from lemmy.ml, we’d get rid of those but we would be losing a ton of content in communities where there are no insane extremists. What do you think what the best solution would be? I wonder if speaking to lemmy.ml mods about it could help.

      The overwhelming majority of them are also very much upvoted, and the tankies ARE the mods themselves on many of the main political communities.

      I’m not even advocating defederating from Lemmy.ml, unlike Lemmygrad, because I don’t believe that Lemmy.ml brigades or is aggressively toxic towards other instances.

      But that’s not the same as saying they aren’t infested with tankies, or run by tankies, because they very much are.

      The only real solution is to be aware of the tankies in lemmy.ml.

        Yeah the intro to that Tankie video that person you linked to had posted… jesus.

        I think your solution is reasonable and preferable to me tbh.
