Actually a lot of the more debate-bro tankies tend to make alts elsewhere to argue. By blocking the big three (if they’re federate), you’re usually just avoiding the ones who are not very argumentative and of course all the campist-flavored topics which might be annoying.
Yea, but unfortunately the admins and mods of the Tankie Triad are the biggest Tankies around and enforce that through (ironic, because they always complain about censorship) mod action
So the best course of action, if you’re not on an instance that defed’s from them, is to not reward their comms with activity. A total boycott, no posts, no comments, no upvotes. With a little luck, all the non-tankie users will gradually shift over
Ran into several fresh accounts this week alone. TankieTanuki and something with “Stalin” in the name were the more obvious ones (I say like a random hours old account complaining about NATO in two separate threads and nothing else isn’t obvious).
Yeah I don’t personally do that but I’m just presenting the options. It doesn’t bother me to interact with tankies I just hate their censored safe spaces rife with misinformation.

Yeah there’s a few of those on world and probably other instances I’m sure. I block them when I see them

I find it easier to block the communities. I’d rather not post content on an instance where I’ll be banned for calling China capitalist lol
