I don't think I'm missing the point actually, I'm aware the instance admins are tankies.

Like I said before, are these tankie admins flooding the instance with their tankie content? This hasn't been my experience at all but if that's your situation, you're free to just leave for any other place in the Fediverse that is defederated from lemmy.ml.

If you're not seeing tankie content by these admins, but simply the fact of them being tankies proves to be such a taxing moral challenge to you, the same as before applies. I know lots of people that went to Kbin specifically because they didn't want to deal with lemmy.ml admins and their values (personally I think this is a bit much but everyone is free to do as they please, I won't judge people who do it).

What I don't get is the “Ok Imma stay but I will be complaining the WHOLE TIME” mindset.

Nobody here besides you mentioned flooding or being overrun. You're attacking a strawman.

Then who cares if one instance has tankie admins? I hope that we have all kinds of admins hosting different instances.

There were cases of them deleting posts that critisced certain governments. Hence why I am on Lemmy.World and not that instance.

There are good reasons not to like/trust them outside of a "flood of content" those kinds of users don't go on ml they are on Lemmygrad and they are equally awful, which is why I am not on that instance.

Right, but that's the point. You don't have to like and trust them, as long as they aren't hurting your community, which, as best I can tell, they aren't. You can still federate with people you don't like, as long as you can trust them enough to not over run or hurt your communities.

Exploding heads was hurting communities, so that's different.

Because tankies are nazis and nazus are a bad thing?

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nazis may not be the best word here, but same kind of scum, yeah.

Nobody here besides you mentioned flooding or being overrun.

I didn't say they are flooding it, I presented the hypothetical case, as in “Are they flooding it? If yes A, if no then B” I hope that's within the boundaries of your reading comprehension.

If the answer is a No, as it was assumed with this question, then it leads right back to the second part of the comment you replied to.
What is the issue then? The fact itself of admins being tankies? If so, you can just leave and seek an instance that is defederated from lemmy.ml

You’re attacking a strawman

Implying this comment section isn't a giant tankie strawman LMAO.
