So, from what I've heard, the 2 Main Developers of Lemmy and about 90% of the initial userbase were tankies, to the point where the project wasn't appealing to anyone other than them. That's why the Developers opened lemmygrad, where most of the tankies are now. That instance is also one of the most blocked instances on the fediverse
