Both sides would genocide the other in a heartbeat if given half a chance - it’s just that one side currently has the means to and is actively doing so.
That said, lemmy.ml is well known for its authoritarian and entirely non-transparent moderation style, which is not communicated to new users well in the slightest and generally they find out after having been banned. Well, now you know.
The problem is that right or wrong, the admins of Lemmy.ml are the developers of the Lemmy codebase, so the issue is not so much that Alt-Left tankies have taken over a centrist forum space so much as the latter has decided to move in encroaching upon the space literally designed for the former. And there are very few to no open source alternatives, though PieFed is making great strides and Sublinks was at one time too (and hopefully will again).
Emancipitory movements have not had a backlash once given freedom the way you suggest throughout history. Take the South African apartheid or US slavery as examples. Hell, you’re more likely to get an Israeli KKK than a genocide attempt against Israelis.
This is precisely the issue. I mean it’s probably not great that they choose to be tankies in the first place, but that’s on them to decide how to live, and in the meantime at least let the rest of us know what’s up?
However, like the Alt-Right people who showed up to the USA capital on January 6th to “defend the constitution” (despite admitting to never having read it), there are certain segments of society whose walk does not match the talk, i.e. they replace facts with “alternative facts”.
So rather than you having to find a way to block them, they have already blocked you. Which puts you ahead!

I just wish they were more explicit. I don’t care if you have taboo subjects or banned opinions, just let me know so I can avoid them.
