    To be fair, there is an unusually vocal tankie minority here.

      Look at their tag, it’s .ml, they’re a Tankie trying to dilute the term

        I can’t see their tag without taking the time to pull up their profile. Not sure if it’s different on Lemmy, but I’m on mbin. It would be a nice feature to be able to see which instance a commenter is coming from without pulling up their profile.

          Basic mobile Lemmy with the lemm.ee prefix lets me see instance next to username (no instance means they are on the same instance as me). And man, with how much gaslighting and server hopping the Tankies do here, I dont think I would have survived on here as long as I have without it. I already get suckered into to many arguements that decrease my mental health, having a huge red flag that a user may be arguing with me in bad faith helps nudge me into just blocking and not engaging. Lemmy is a double edged sword for me, I get far more tools for curation than reddit ever gave, but because of some of the more extreme “factions” that hang out here, I actually have to use them far more often

            Oh yeah, that’s definitely better than how it’s done on kbn and mbin. Hopefully we’ll get that feature someday. I do really prefer the UI here overall.
