    I gotta say, the tankie infestation of the fediverse is giving me serious second thoughts about this place. I get that it will get better over time as more people join and dilute the crazies, but I currently have a very hard time suggesting lemmy to people because of this.

      It’s fediverse. You don’t like an instance, you create your own and defederate from the ones you don’t like. That’s the nice thing about it.

        So what, am I going to defederate from lemmy.world which is like the most generic possible instance but posts there still attract these loonies? At that point I can just ditch the fediverse because it’s useless as a reddit replacement.

      I guess you’ve no problem with the open Nazis on here? Says a lot about you.

        No, that doesn’t “say a lot about me” at all. I keep having to block tankies and similar shit bubbling up from lemmygrad. I’ve not seen an open nazi post here yet but if I see one be assured it gets the banhammer as well and “nazis” gets added to my growing list of “insane fringe groups prominent on lemmy which I never had to interact with on reddit”.
