There’s a community here called MeanwhileOnGrad that tracks their bullshit ideology via proof of posts and content made by not only those there, but the admin team that is well known pro-russsin pro-Chinese authoritarianism.

Many people will try and tell you otherwise, but those that are critical, have the receipts to show as proof of the claim. I’d advise you to go to MeanwhileOnGrad and see for yourself.

Thanks, good info. That is one thing I think I like less about Lemmy vs Reddit. On reddit we only had to worry about certain subreddits, but here we have to worry about communities and entire instances... I'll just have to get used to it and maybe make a new account on another instance after comparing them some more.

For sure. At the end of the day, it’s going to be your experience that drives your choices. Sure, others can help guide you, but you will see for yourself after a while how things roll.

And if you want an example of the type of people I talk about, here is a discussion am current in as we speak. This is how these people are. They cannot speak against the atrocities committed by Russia- even when the answer is should be obvious.

Wow. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. You have more patience than I do.

Tankies for short

Centrists here (lots on piefed, some of the main developers for a piefed app hardcoded leftist instance blocks without telling anyone until they got caught, that is their vibe a "hallucinated" center) lose their mind about leftists even when the world outside is drowning in radical rightwing fascist movements openly advocating for violence, racism and fascism. Also did any of them warn you that there are rightwing VERY VERY toxic parts of the fediverse that mainly don't connect to the bigger communities because they are simply too violent and toxic to federate with normal people?

sigh

You will run into stupid leftists here, maybe that will be a new experience for you if haven't because they were excluded from all the other places you have been but shrugs the idea that this is some problem that needs to be shoved in the face of new users in their welcome in post is kind of pathetic and says more about these "centrists" than it does about .ml at this point. Even if it is a new experience so what, there are plenty more intelligent leftists with nuanced views, this vision of tankies is a caricature on purpose in a frankly alarmingly cynical way especially given the state of the world and who has power.
