Before the reddit exodus lemmy was overrun with tankies.
Is it better now? I feel like I'm still running into a lot of tankies...
Depends on who your instance is federated with
Much better.
The "all" feed was almost all lemmygrad.
alright. I remember running into a lot of pro-Russia, pro-China, pro-Iran bullshit on lemmy.ml, which is part of the reason I dropped my account there and moved to kbin, but I'm subscribed to a bunch of lemmy.world communities now (and clearly this lemmy.ml community, at least), and... I mean, there are still definitely tankies, particularly on the political communities, but I have mostly been avoiding those communities...
The tankies haven't gone anywhere, it's just that the content they're posting has been diluted by other content. Also some instances have banned lemmygrad.ml
