The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of "left solidarity"
I feel you on the wanting less political stuff but still wanting to be informed.
Honestly it was the main reason for making multiple accounts on multiple instances for me.
One account subbed to memes, one subbed to news, etc.
I've got a few alt accounts and I'd recommend it so that you can more control news hitting your feed vs memes.
I've tried stuff like that, but the issue is that there are politics/conflict everywhere, even in memes communities
