That's true, but I'm just pointing out that it's a leftist subreddit recommending lemmy.ml, so it's not going out to a generalized audience.
And honestly they're not as tankie as people claim, that title really belongs to hexbear and lemmygrad. The management of lemmy.ml is tankie friendly, but many or even most of the users are not actually tankies.
It's very complicated because they were the main server for a long time before any of us even joined Lemmy, and all of their public descriptions don't even mention leftism at all, it's just about privacy and FOSS. Many users have made accounts there and used it for years without really caring or engaging with the tankie allegations or posts. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be.
Hexbear on the other hand is actually worse than anyone could ever explain without experiencing it for yourself. So let's not forget the two servers are not identical.
You haven't been on .ml much or don't pay attention to the subtleties if you think the admins and main mods aren't full blown Tankies. And they're quick to silence dissenting voices that dare criticize China or Russia, no matter how deserving or right
.ml is more subtle than hex that's true, but they're absolutely Tankies just the same and consider hex and grad friends.
