Huh.
It took me a while to sort out that meme, then it suddenly hit me - I've not only succeeded in eliminating the tankies from my Lemmy experience, but have done so so effectively that I started to forget that they even exist.
At this point, the only people I see trying to defend Russia are a handful of angry right-wing morons who have bought in to the propaganda spread by Russia's assets in the GOP, and they're few and far between.
My god I love this comment section. It's the first non-pro-USSR interaction I've seen on Lemmy
Avoid lemmy.ml if you don't like pro Russia shit lol.
my lemmy main has the longest blocklist of any of my fedi accounts. it's great.
This is damned inspiring. Blocking all these tankie twits.
User block, activate! :-P
instance block, activated! :-p
Upvoting, but I do not admin my own instance, so can only block the instance as a personal user, which means e.g. that they can still mass-downvote me if they so choose. :-(
Also I can still view their comments everywhere, I just don't receive a notification from them anymore if someone replies directly to me, and I could replace my individual per-community blocks with the one instance one for them all. It is nowhere close to "eliminating" them altogether, even though it does cut down on the aggravation a lot.
But I know what you mean, and yes I would like that! Do you know of any instances that blocks those big 3 Axis powers? I looked last week among all the most popular ones listed at that fediverse explorer site but could not find a single one that does. Even Kbin.social only blocks 2 of the 3 but not lemmy.ml...
Oh, lol. I thought you were talking in generalities on how to block tankies. I wasn't being specific to you.
I find that blocking the instance does a good enough job for me.
Plus their alts on other instances, b/c knowing that they have been blocked, some users seem to have decided to evade our intentions. "No means no" is a weakness, according to those for whom consent means little (or nothing), so terribly sadly, that many of us would rather choose the bear than that...:-( (/s but you know what I mean:-P)
