I wasn’t there from the beginning, but I remember at least seeing some anti-tankie sentiment, and it definitely got worse over the short time I was lurking there. One time I remember was just after opening again after the reddit protests, where there was this same image posted there with loads of people commenting.
I also almost joined their instance here on Lemmy like you did, but I decided to join Lemmygrad after seeing their anti-tankie banner lol.
