Tankies, yes 1000%, it’s a known fact and problem and also why your “I didn’t know .ml was all about that, I just signed up” is actually fairly common because they promote it as a default instance. It’s also quite common that new Lemmy users who signed up on .ml often switch their accounts to another instance or sadly leave and just never come back after they learn it’s true nature.
And also, Tankie != Communist/Socialist, Tankies more promote the bastardized authoritarianism-based flavor of “communism” That China/Russia love hence the whole “China/Russia are the victims of US imperialism and have done no wrong!!!”
Humm interesting I’ll take a look at the instance modlogs to see what they been up to, however however it’s a bummer that you can’t transfer your account over elsewhere
