I haven't seen tankie content, but it's not like I actively search for it.
I do see a lot of whining about tankie content, mostly from people who post bigoted shit.

What posts about the tankie problem? I’ve seen none of these posts?
Diehard democrats finding out they're not as leftist as they thought they were. Anything that runs counter to their narrative is "tankie". They're afraid of what is different and it's their version of calling everything they don't understand/like "woke".
Ahh, yes. The "Stalin did nothing wrong" posts are possessing of nuance worthy of discussion and aren't trashy troll takes at all
Exactly, "tankie" is just the lefts version of "woke"
Isn't that the whole point of federation and seperate community spaces? Don't like what you see? Fuck off someplace else. I haven't seen a single instance of brigading or amything like that. Is this just pearl clutching by reddit refuges?
Some instances such as Hexbear federate for the sole purpose of brigading to harass and argue in bad faith. Have you not been paying attention to the countless threads they have been spamming?
I literally only see threads/posts complaining about them, no actual trolling/brigading etc. But I'm not on Lemmy all the time. If it was such a problem you would think it would be clearly visible.
Take a look on any post outside of lemmy.world that remotely mentions China, Russia, Ukraine or North Korea, and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Unless their mass flooding of pig poop emojis, bad faith arguments and authoritarian apologetics don't count as trolling or brigading to shut down discussion.
Lol Those threads are a colossal shit fest, how would I even tell the difference between brigading and just business as usual?
I just think that defed should only be used as a last resort in fringe cases not the norm or lemmy instances all end up isolating and becoming echo chambers.
Natural interaction from a community with an active user base isn't the same thing as brigading.
