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.

Follow the link, that's happening on lemmy.ml not lemmygrad.ml.

???... and? you have got to self filter the stuff you don't want to see if its that triggering for you. block posters, communities and, if needed, switch instances to something you prefer. there are other instances that offer a more "curated" experience. last resort... set up your own instance - you can be your own god king.

personally I have no issue seeing things i disaree with. If it goes past my personal line, I block.

Most Reddit posts referring to lemmy direct people to lemmy.ml it's effectively the landing page of the platform and if that landing page is being used to recruit people into a shitty authoritarian ideology then that taints the entire platform.

because, for a long time, it was most stable/reliable instance around. thats no longer the case. I can promise you most recommendations out there in the aether right now are not for .ml for many, many reasons and the devs encourage this.

if an instance pulls stupid shit, I move instances. lemmy makes it possible to free yourself from the exact type of authoritarian oppression you just mentioned.
