MODERATORS
Assuming this to be a working strategy (and not a way of swaying new users out of Lemmy in general), what's the endgame? If everyone you deem "sane" leaves the place, it will just be even worse, a concentrated "tankie" circlejerk, visible to plenty of newbies. Then what?
It's already a tankie circle jerk over there, you can't concentrate what's already concentrated.
Visible yes, but its a LOT easier to say "Oh yea that's the tankie instance, they're small so just block it and move on" rather than
"Oh yea that's the tankie instance, but they're also one of the biggest instances, so if you block them you'll be cutting off a decent chunk of non-tankie content"
So many stories of "I signed up on .ml because it was one of the biggest, then I realized it was full of Tankies and signed up elsewhere" and if there's stories of that, there's probably many more where the person just left and never came back because what they saw was a place was full of toxic tankies
