Nah. Your definition of a Nazi is just anyone right of Mao. This place seems to be where the tankies went after getting banned from Reddit for encouraging violence toward people who don’t want to slob on government’s massive boot.

    Lemmy seems to be more middle-left with just a few vocal extremists on both sides, actually. If anything the largest 'extreme' group i've seen here is anarchists, kind of the opposite of communists lol.

    And the groups that do turn into a bunch of 'tankies' (slowly stares at Lemmygrad) have been defedrated across almost the entire fediverse...

    I think you’re correct honestly but with Lemmygrad defederated like the exploding-heads people they surely make mainstream accounts for the sake of their lunacy being interacted with.

    Maybe it’s my instance of choice but I sure do see a ton of people with authoritarian views pretending they’re just simply leftists when they’re just as unhinged as Qtards.

    This instance (lemmy.ml) is one that still federates with lemmygrad, last I noticed. Even then, although the number of unhinged tankies I see here is non-zero, it still isn't large. (In fact, it's mainly one particular user that stands out. Y-something, with a name using a bunch of stylized high-unicode characters.)

    When I'm on lemmy.world, which I think has defederated from lemmygrad, I pretty much don't see them at all.

    Frankly, I don't think they're bothering to try to insert themselves in lemmy.world.
