The tankies are concentrated on three main instances so basically you can either block those completely or just don’t participate in any communities on them. Some do visit the non-politics coms there but I think they always end up interpreting things in a political lens so I avoid them all.
Actually a lot of the more debate-bro tankies tend to make alts elsewhere to argue. By blocking the big three (if they’re federate), you’re usually just avoiding the ones who are not very argumentative and of course all the campist-flavored topics which might be annoying.
Ran into several fresh accounts this week alone. TankieTanuki and something with “Stalin” in the name were the more obvious ones (I say like a random hours old account complaining about NATO in two separate threads and nothing else isn’t obvious).

The instances are Lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, and Hexbear.net.

I find it easier to block the communities. I’d rather not post content on an instance where I’ll be banned for calling China capitalist lol
