It’s not overwhelming, but I see occasional “eruptions” of Tankies and their ilk on posts and in communities where you wouldn’t expect to see them. Maybe just an organic thing where they see each other coming out of their closets and decide to pile on when they get the chance, but still kind of annoying and not something that’s easily preemptively blocked.

That said, this is hardly unique to the Fediverse. There’s stuff like that in social media in general, the Fediverse just happens to have that particular flavor for reasons of historical happenstance.

They tend to come from the same instances, so it’s pretty easy to block actually, especially after the next Lemmy update comes out. Block hexbear and Lemmygrad and you already got almost all of them. You can do that with certain mobile apps.

To be honest, I see more shit about people shitting on those instances than I do of the actual instances themselves, let alone the bad parts of those instances.

I feel like I can’t escape it, even if I block the instances. Because other instances will make meme posts like “look at how bad those guys are!”

Just…shut…up

Lol so true. Once you block them, you just see the comments of people mad at them without any of the context and it’s just so annoying.
