Lemmy.ml only has ~2100 monthly active users. I would guess that likely at least half of them are randos who just joined what they thought was the default instance.
That leaves about 1000 or so (likely even less) active tankies. That’s not a lot of people. I’m pretty sure you could find more than that amount of tankies in pretty much every single metropolis worldwide.
Currently, Lemmy only has 46 000 monthly active accounts in total, so 1 000 is quite a significant share of that. Especially considering that these 1000 are very vocal.
Remember, this is not Reddit or Facebook with billions of active users. Lemmy in its entirety is smaller than some phpbb forums used to be.
I mean, ~3500 of these monthly active accounts are from lemmynsfw.com alone, and these are most likely double accounts for people who have accounts on a non-nsfw instance. And in general it’s quite likely the the amount of monthly active accounts is much larger than the number of actual monthly active users, considering that a significant portion of users will have more than one lemmy account and that there are some moderation bots and stuff like that around.
If you’re not a tankie, you shouldn’t be offended by, “tankies on .ml”
That instance actively and demonstrably moderates counter-opinions to tankie rhetoric, to the point where the instance is just a field of landmines for those that don’t tow the line. They are a terrible, gross farse of “leftists” and deserve all the shit they catch and more.
.ml literally has news that blessed oblast of Ukraine has denazified itself completely by genociding all ukranians under the saving arm of blessed putin.
At this point you’re either a piece of shit or completely new who got tricked into the alt left pipeline if you are still on ,ml.
If hanging out with nazis makes you a nazis, hanging out with palette swapped nazis makes you a palette swapped nazi.
Right, and all Apple users are salivating corporate shills for big corp because they haven’t jumped to better alternatives… come on man, grow up, no one thinks so black and white, life is a complex grey and it helps to always remember the individual
Who, you know, MIGHT be real people but probably aren’t for the most part…
I just assume any .ml account is a propaganda bot. Because even if they are real people… they are propaganda bots.
Lemmy is far too small to bot.
lemmy.ml is just friendly to those people, so it attracts them.
lemmy.ml was built by those people, sometimes it feels for the express purpose of spreading their bullshit.
Yeah, how dare they build a space where they could express their views!
Fuck off, tankie
No
Yeah, that’s plausible.

If its only a thousand people, can we just ignore them then.

I was objecting to this part
Of course there are tankies on ML, though i gotta admit I rarely see them with my filters.
Plenty of hate-filled accounts on world that I block too

I dont get that shit in my feeds man, maybe block the subs that are giving you grief instead of lashing out at random users
.ml users are putinist scum until proven otherwise. Simple as.
