Wish I had the same experience on Lemmy. Honesty is not in great supply for the tankies here, who prefer to pretend that 'United Front' means something to "AES" states (emphasis on the quotes) other than "Oh boy, I can't wait to backstab everyone to my left"
Ah yeah, I don't think anyone is having a serious political discussion on the internet, it's all just dunking and trolling. IRL I've heard many people be completely upfront about it when talking to other leftists.
Your problem is engaging with these people.
I've had a mostly positive experience on here, but I don't try to go hang out in tankieville.
I mean, I don't go to hang out in tankieville. I have lemmy.ml domain blocked. I don't go looking for them. I only pick fights with them to emphasize that their fascist shite is unacceptable and blatantly false. It's insane the level of lies they're willing to resort to.
They're a lot more rare in the places I frequent anymore. A year ago they still infested the place - including this very community.
