Ah. Yeah, it sounds like you need to calibrate your tankie-detector. Have a look around instances like .ml or hexbear to see what I’m talking about.
Or for a more contained view, check out the community meanwhileongrad which I think is on your instance, where they post screenshots of the crazy shit people say on lemmygrad
Or you could use the user tag feature many lemmy clients have. Just long press a username and it should be in the menu. You can color code it and give them fun labels so you know who to avoid.
It’s certainly not everyone on the threadiverse, but it is a known problem. Basically disingenuous and combative users arguing in bad faith and being unnecessarily hostile. Make good use of the block button too.
Those users don’t call themselves progressives though, they usually identify as ML (marxist-leninist) or something similar. And they fucking hate us progressives. They call us neolibs 🙄
They’re just mad because they were rooting for maga to accelerate the downfall of western society, and they’re upset that progressives are out to prove that the system can actually work for the working class.
Most of the time they’re not even worth engaging with. Occasionally you’ll meet a rational .ml user who just happened to choose that instance for whatever reason, but they certainly seem to be the exception rather than the rule
