I’m seeing a lot of people call Hexbear a tankie instance lately - they aren’t really though, they are an instance full of trolls who are militant against any belief system at all (most especially their own?), or as near to that as makes no difference. They constantly lie - most especially to one another, and have even been caught lying to other instance admins.
I would lump Hexbear in under a name like The Big Three (to block), but I just thought I’d point out that many people are going to argue at its being called specifically a “tankie” one. And ofc it’s more than just these three - e.g. Midwest.social has been caught in numerous scandals as well, though unlike the Big Three, the actual users there are perfectly fine, so I don’t advocate for blocking it, just avoiding the communities there.
Speaking of, the Lemmy “instance blocking” would have been much better named as a “community mute”, since it allows you to see the users from that instance, and they can vote on and reply to your content, triggering notifications, etc. The only real way to do an actual instance block is to move to an instance that has defederated from it (requires admin rights), or use PieFed that can implement a true user block from any instance you ask for (no admin approval necessary), or the Lemmy apps Sync and Connect can likewise do that.

From my experience they’re anarchists/communists like they say they are.
My experience is that most people cant tell the difference between anyone on the the left. If they’re type concerned about ‘tankies’ they will call anyone to the left of Biden on wars a ‘tankie’

From my experience and the majority of Lemmy’s, they’re tankies.
The only people I really seeing anarchists/communists are places like db0.

Well that’s probably because you’re a tankie yourself judging from how hard you defend those wannabe fash.
I’m an anarchist tyvm.
