      As opposed to the tankies here? Extremism on lemmy is easily a step above Reddit. I’ve seen plenty of open calls to violence just lol’ed at here.

        Y’all, where are you guys hanging out, I wanna go tankie spotting too!

        I’ve genuinely seen more alt-right/fascist comments than commie defenders. But both of those types of comments are always downvoted heavily when I see them, so clearly the tankies aren’t as popular or numerous as everyone seems to think…?

        Or maybe my admin is just good at filtering the shit instances (thank you, king)
