I get your point, although we should not generalize as there are many people who stick to independent information.

I agree that here on Lemmy we see a lot of this bit of human psychology, though. Tankies like OP do it all the time. Their alt accounts’ post histories have a special spin in that they (rightfully) condemn Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians, for example, while in their .ml communities they are literally cheering Russia’s atrocities against Ukrainian civilians.

As one study says:

… The presence of left-wing extremism on the Lemmygrad. ml instance of the decentralized social media platform Lemmy, from its launch in 2019 up to a month after the bans of the subreddits r/GenZedong and r/GenZhou … reveal a substantial increase in user activity and toxicity levels following the migration of these subreddits to Lemmygrad. ml. …

[Users] frequently share posts that support authoritarian regimes, as seen in their support for China, North Korea, and Russia. Moreover, their support can extend beyond backing these authoritarian regimes, even cheering on their violent actions, as evidenced by their posts on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

It’s a deeply disturbing mindset.
