Mostly in political/news subs. If you avoid politics/news it’s much less noticeable.
It tends to be relatively subtle (albeit after seeing it several times you do notice a pattern). Statements implying Chinese interactions with foreign countries are purely “for a better world”. Low key, roundabout methods of supporting russian imperialism (“well it’s actually NATO that’s at fault”). That sort of thing.
FWIW, when/if the threadiverse gets more users (say at least 250K+ MAUs stable), this sort of stuff will be diluted to be less noticeable.
One point that is fair is that Lemmy has a high number of tankie scum.
And their accounts are not always hosted on lemmygrad/hexbear/ML.
This is a legitimate issue.
The issue is worse on Reddit. You can block people here. It’s fast and it works.
Do you have any examples of tankie discourse outside of grad/hexbear/ml communities?
