It unfortunately is very much the intent, but they don’t want to say that up front because no one would join.

This is happening on lemmy.ml I can cope with there being instances for tankies, what’s bothering me is one of the main instances pretending their not so that they can push straight up recruitment shit at people who don’t know.

I’m on another instance but it’s making me rather uncomfortable that a lot of the traffic is happening on an instance that seems like it’s 90 CCP members and Russian trolls.

The way things are on there I can’t even tell if this is just a joke.

Some of them seem pretty deep in, not sure they have the most rounded world view.

Exactly. Hopefully he has actually said that to his people and not just leaked it to the press.
