        Oh yeah, I agree. I blocked hexbear, but not .ml yet. I’m still willing to argue with that group. It’s just saying “lemmy” has a Nazi problem is like saying email has a Nazi problem.

          There’s some nazi insurances like explodingheads or whatever, but everyone has and continues to defederate from them instantly so it’s not much of a problem for users.

      It’s primarily the Tankie Triad; That’s .ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad.ml. To a lesser extent, some people also include lemm.ee too. The reason tankies are so widespread on non-communist posts is because .ml is the Lemmy dev’s home instance. So if you want to see updates for lemmy’s development, you need to federate with .ml. Which means even non-tankie instances are inevitably exposed to all of the tankieposting.
