Today's featured tankie is @hamid@crazypeople.online. Former admin @hamid@vegantheoryclub.org, instance that was on track to be the fourth Tankie instance of the Tankie triad before hamid shut it down because people were calling it out last year

Blocking .ml and similar instances makes the experience on lemmy so much better. Blocked .ml shortly after the feature came out and didn't miss it in the slightest.

I've had good results doing blocks on the user level instead. Just block the user whenever you see particularly egregious tankie bullshit in a post or comment. Honestly, I've only needed to block a half dozen or so, and already that's made a huge difference. 90% of it comes from just a few nutjobs (or paid propagandists?), after all.
I still do have occasional tankies in my feed, but only the more reasonable kind -- real people who might actually have a good-faith discussion with you rather than instantly dismissing you as a 'lib'.

Then they will act like any independent western media outlet is in any way comparable to Russian state controlled media.

OP there is completely unhinged.

Didn't Hamid glorify Hamas before?

I once argued with a very prominent person from .ml who I won't name.
This is link he offered to say the Tiananmen Square massacre didn't happen.

It's insane levels of propaganda. It genuinely takes quotes and misuses them.
