Just block the fascists and you’re good to go, tbh. The tankies are a very small community here.
Furries are pretty wholesome – whether they and queer people are there, I use as a miner’s canary to see if a place has a welcoming and chill atmosphere.
People can like what they want, I just dont personally enjoy seeing that myself. In my experience I havent seen any fascists, just Authoritarian advocates.
Sure, people can like what they want. Though I don’t think we should encourage inaction against the far right. Unfortunately, I’ve seen a few, but indeed very few. Personally I feel divided on tankies, but in my perspective, the greater foe is the fascist. That said: AAAB (All Authoritarians Are Bastards), and if we can combat both effectively, then great!
But also, to put it as a metaphor. If I had to pick my battles – and had three bullets, and there were a fascist and a tankie in the room with me, I’d shoot the fascist immediately, and keep two to safeguard against tankies - so that if I shot, I still have a credible threat afterward.
A tankie is an ally against a fascist, and can turn into a fiend - so let us make sure that they have to stay our friend. And while they are our friend, then let us treat them with at least kindness. They don’t need to like us and we don’t need to like them; but we need to band together against the storm.

Welcome To Lemmy! (Immediately starts bickering over the various pros and cons of furry vs. tankie)
Furries have a very strong association with far right movements.
Far right movements, if anything, want to kill furries. Press X to doubt.
Burying one’s head in the sand will surely help the movement get rid of neonazis. It works all the time! quo vadis USA?
