Is lemmy.ml just a tankie recruitment zone? (lemmy.ml)

The shear amount of tankiness over on lemmy.ml is making me seriously consider leaving the platform.

I'm on another instance but it's making me rather uncomfortable that a lot of the traffic is happening on an instance that seems like it's 90 CCP members and Russian trolls.

yeah thas just the consequence of that instance being linked in a lot of exodus posts... not much we can change but i assume itll equalize out as lemmy grows and people spread out to other instances. ofc that a lot of the communities are on .ml sucks but that too may change with future developments such as multi-community implementations.

Reddit had a huge amount of tankies that only lived on a handful of isolated subreddits.
It makes sense that they'd flock to the Lemmy where the FDQN literally stands for Marxist/Leninist.

I don't know about others but this hasn't been my experience. From what I've noticed a lot of left or left-leaning subreddits have been taken over by tankie mods.
I'm much happier with how kbin/lemmy/mastodon/etc work, at least this way I can choose my left/hard-left/left-leaning communities that I wish to interact with without them being controlled by tankies or other authoritarian flavors.

Why does this comment, and the one it's responding to show, up in 3 places?

Edit: I'm actually seeing this elsewhere too. Maybe it's quirk of cross communication between instances?

"everyone who disagrees is a russian troll/ccp paid shill" aight mate. Just get on beehaw and eventually they'll defederate from lemmy.ml too and you'll be good.
