    That’s lemmygrad (THE tankie instance, with Hexbear), not lemmy.ml (the dev’s instance). Please do not conflate them together. And I say this as a dbzero user.

      Lemmy.ml IS a Tankie instance. Unfortunately it’s one of the main Lemmy instances.

      I got banned in a community there for anti-Tankie “propaganda” when I said there are claims that Tank Man may have been killed or disappeared by the government.

        dbzer0 (which im on) defederates grad, for good reason, fuck grad

        hexbear and ml are milder, i dont have them blocked but i see why one might block them

        blahaj zone is very based (very meowy and trans and woke and blahaj), except for them disabling downvotes which is understandable i just think its a bad idea

        i dont see why youd block it unless youre very unmeowy and unwoke in which case i dont want you on my lemmy, im fine with respectfully debating with transphobes (because i believe that people should go fuck themselves only if they refuse/fail to go educate themselves), but i block the disrespectful insufferable ones (which is many of them)

          I find Grad is more chill and relaxed than Hexbear, dbzer0, and Lemmy.ml, actually. I think because it’s more widely defederated, people seem to have an idea of Grad that doesn’t actually match up to reality.
