As long as the devs have an instance-agnostic ‘live and let live’ attitude and just ignore any instances they don’t politically like and advise others to do the same, it’s not really a problem.
If they ever try to enforce their ideology via their code: actual issue.
I joined ML by mistake and I was pissed off to find out that it was a nest of degenerate tankie roaches.
I had experience with Mastodon, so I switched instances, but that might not be the case for others looking for a non-US oligarch internet platform.
They most definitely do not have a “live and let live” attitude for people dealing with russian genocidal occupation, but that’s a discussion for another day.
It’s got its issues (for me the main one are the tankie scum devs), but it seems to be the best platform there is.
The good thing about it is you can move to clients like Piefed and still access all the content / communities.

Also worth considering the reputational factors.

What’s wrong with calling genocide white-whitewashing, pro-russian genocidal imperialism individuals scum.
The funny thing is the tankies don’t even speak Ukrainian or russian and have never lived in Ukraine or russian.
Literally scumbag roleplaying as communists.
