The beauty of it is that we don't necessarily have to use lemmy.ml at all. Beehaw and Sopuli.xyz, two of the largest instances outside of lemmy.ml and the tankies, don't federate with the tankies. It some ways it's a good thing, as it encourages people to branch out instead of clustering around a "main" instance.
Do you know if the lemmy.ml owners run join-lemmy?
As far as I'm aware, yes.
So considering that those individuals are supportive of genocide- not even denying, but supportive- That is a fairly big problem for the ecosystem.
Presumably, with their extremist and toxic views, they will be acting to keep criticism of their favorite Imperial states (say, China) from being too prominent.
They've actually been quite tolerant of all of us, to be honest. I don't think they have any desire to be exclusive to tankies.
Supporting and justifying genocides is my line in the sand, personally. And that is a near-universal Tankie policy.
I don't know where you're making these assumptions from. They've actively promoted Beehaw, which defederated with Lemmygrad.
If they were acting in bad faith and just trying to shove ideology down your throat, they wouldn't have done that. They would have at least declared their own instance to be an authoritarian flagship instance.
