I'm not sure if you meant to reply to me. I never said anything about Tankies, although I can see how offering my observations as a small critique of .ml could be seen as tacitly agreeing with the OP.
First of all, I'm sorry you left ml because of external pressure. That's not right or fair. I guess there's some truth in all the leftist infighting memes.
I agree with practically everything you said, particularly the comparison between 'tankie' and 'woke'. I don't utilize any blocking, though, because I like to be open to all viewpoints.
I hate crawling someone's history, but since you asked I did take a look. It's great to see that kind of content. I should have been more specific, but my .ml observations are older than your history (mainly the run-up to the US election). So, admittedly, I'm a bit guilty of "A lot of assumptions about folks just for being members of .ml" since I haven't been there in months.
I admit it was a general frustration with seeing yet another one of these threads. Thanks for the response!
Edit - also my acct there is older than the election run up unless you are using a very long definition. https://lemmy.ml/u/octopus_ink
