    If they keep it to themselves, it shouldn’t be a problem.

    If they ban and censor users because of those views though…

      Don’t know how true it is, but I saw a post claiming that they were banned for criticizing the CCP.

        What’s the point of specifically looking for the tankie instance just so you can say See? Lemmy is overrun by tankies. At that point it looks like you’re just trying to get outraged.

        The amount of content I’ve seen on the front page endlessly crying and whining over these evil tankies far exceeds the amount of tankie content I’ve run across involuntarily, which remains at a staggering 0.

        It’s got big “And are these tankies in the room with us right now?” vibes tbh.

          Not “overrun”. Run, lemmy.ml specifically, as in the instance admins are tankies.

          You’re missing the point, hopefully not intentionally.

            I don’t think I’m missing the point actually, I’m aware the instance admins are tankies.

            Like I said before, are these tankie admins flooding the instance with their tankie content? This hasn’t been my experience at all but if that’s your situation, you’re free to just leave for any other place in the Fediverse that is defederated from lemmy.ml.

            If you’re not seeing tankie content by these admins, but simply the fact of them being tankies proves to be such a taxing moral challenge to you, the same as before applies. I know lots of people that went to Kbin specifically because they didn’t want to deal with lemmy.ml admins and their values (personally I think this is a bit much but everyone is free to do as they please, I won’t judge people who do it).

            What I don’t get is the “Ok Imma stay but I will be complaining the WHOLE TIME” mindset.

    So are there any real downsides to having an account on this instance? I chose it randomly when I signed up and don’t know enough about the situation.

    Should I be concerned enough to go make another account or is it essentially meaningless at the end of the day?

      I guess follow your beliefs on this one. Also, it’s possible that by you being there, you add to the number of active users on that instance, therefore increasing the appeal for newer users to join in and possibly donate to the founders. (which are tankies)
