A few years ago, the Lemmy Developers decided to keep their political views on lemmygrad while keeping lemmy.ml more neutral. Now they are banning users who are critical of their actions and bigotry.
Anti-Tankie posts may put you at risk of being banned from commenting and posting on the lemmy.ml instance.
Muting lemmy.ml and Hexbear has improved my lemmy experience significantly
I just saw an upvoted post on hex that I forgot to block that’s said China and NK should take over Taiwan while this whole HAMAS Israel thing is going on.
Also most of them think HAMAS and Palestine did nothing wrong by killing 300 people…they’re “fighting for their freedom”
They’re also anti Ukraine
Fuck them all
they are literally a death cult. they love hearing and seeing innocents die
I started with an account on Lemmy.ml and was banned when I argued with the owner/developer, Dessalines, about the Xinjiang genocide being real. I noped out of there very quickly, and you should too. Other users have been banned for questioning the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Wait, what do they think happened at Tienanmen Square then? And do they paint the wiki article about it as “fake news”?
Yes, literally. They argue it was a “mostly peaceful” student protest and a few people maybe got killed when they attacked police. They argue the scope and severity has been fabricated by the West, and that there is no evidence of a massacre.
All the usual tinfoil hat stuff you can expect from leftwing authoritarians.
They blame the students for the deaths and that it also never happened.
Oh wow really? You should link that!
I had to dig a bit because Dessalines deleted the comments, but I found a screenshot. It references the Xinjiang genocide, not the Tiananmen Square massacre. Other users in the same thread were getting banned for discussing the Tiananmen Square massacre, but my ban was based on my comments about the Xinjiang genocide.
Which side did you argue?
That it’s real, of course. Why would arguing the inverse get me banned on Lemmy.ml?
People: “Come to the fediverse, there are no fascists, everything is cool and free of toxicity.”
The fediverse: tankies, people who simps for tankies, genocidal apologists, harassment…
Sums it up seemingly well. The only upsid is that they created a platform they can not control AFAIK. So other instances can do whatever they want.
Give them time, they will eventually self-defederate.
Hey internet, can we just not go fash or tankie for like 5 minutes? kthxbye
This place is a cesspool compared to Tildes.
Yes but counter-point: the owner of Tildes literally calls himself god, and acts like it. At least we can block lemmy.ml and just not go there.
