Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad instances are full of tankies. Way I see it it's only a matter of time before they defederate due to having to deal with sane people since the site blew up or people defederate from them as they're just bloody annoying.
I'm ready for that to happen. It's getting old already.
They're fun to troll at least.
While true, at which point does defederating make sense? Been wondering this myself. Reality is full of bad actors so we should be capable of countering these threats without purely relying on censorship. OTOH that takes time and energy best spend elsewhere.
I think it all depends on user levels. At present the activity isn't that much that mods can't deal with any arguments the difference in opinion creates. When you get to Reddit user levels that becomes a lot more difficult.
