I mean I just never ended up subscribing to political communities, so I never see any political related things anyway. If you only subscribe to meme and lighthearted communities, you're not likely to run into that stuff. Your comparison of it being a "Nazi bar" doesn't work. I've never been someone who browsed the "all" category of Reddit, and I've not been inclined to do that here on Lemmy, either. So no, you often won't see that sort of thing unless you're browsing by all communities.

Well, you'd need to pay a very specific amount of attention to not notice the tankies from ML, but really notice and be bothered but people shunning ML because of the tankies. I guess it's possible, but it seems unlikely to be common

Well now you're not making any sense. I don't see "tankie" comments because I don't subscribe to or browse political communities. Yet I see plenty of posts and complaints about said users in non-political communities. Check where we are right now. We're in a meme community. Of course if I subscribe to meme communities, I'll see posts and comments like this. It's not that complicated to understand.

I see plenty of ML people being awful in meme communities. I'm amazed you don't. Any even remotely political meme will attract them, or at least would back when they were out in force supporting Trump leading up to the election.

And that is even though I've blocked ML and have a hair trigger for blocking .ml accounts

I am sorry to hear that tbh. The only instance I blocked was lemmynsfw (altho not the users) because porn kept flooding my screen whenever I would attempt to browse for new communities. I also blocked a buttload of lemmygrad.ml communities before I had the ability to block instances, but I'm not sure if my instance even federates with them anyway. For users, I only ever ended up blocked one person evidently according to my account info.
