Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I don't understand though.
I don't block anyone or any instance and the tankies are barely a problem I notice.
They represent a fringe group that gets downvoted to hell whenever they open their mouth.
I really don't understand this perception that Lemmy is a tankie cult.
However, Israel is a genocidal state, WTF does this have to do with the other things mentionned? It's the mainstream view.
EDIT: My instance blocks hexbear and lemmygrad and I was blissfully unaware.
I don't block them either, I find them amusing
You are likely on an instance that blocks them for you, most sane ones do.
Israel is a genocidal ethnostate that needs to be stopped.
Russia and NK both have systematic corruption issues that run deep enough to not believe any of their propaganda, even the stuff made by other nations or interests. With that in mind the corruption itself is obvious and tells of fundamental issues in governance and civil structure on its own.
China ran over thousands of protesting students in Tiananmen and has committed far worse atrocities in the decades since.
The US is a straight up fascist authoritarian state that is on the brink of collapse.
Cuba has managed to become the best sales pitch Communism ever had with their continued resilience in the face of global sanctions and embargo.
Pineapple is delicious on pizza.
At the end of the day people are going to have opinions on all of that, and the magic of the fediverse is that I can make posts like this to weed them out pretty easily.
All that being said this is still one of the more radically left leaning social spaces regardless of where you happen to fall on the politics personally. I can understand the conflation with tankies just because there is a lot of focus on the same solutions but with wildly different takes on how to implement them.
Yeah, sh.itjust.works blocks hexbear and lemmygrad. Not .ml, though.
Oooh, I see, thanks.
