Yet another lemmy instance proudly hosted in Montreal, Canada. Still need to get a icon created, if there are any designers here who would like to contribute please feel free to post!

He didn't get banned that quickly, he basically called out tankie propaganda for a week before they banned him.

The beauty of this platform is that we actually can block the main instance and also create as many world news communities of our own as we want. It won't take long before the OG communities are outnumbered anyway.

The admin could block it, but it seems already too popular to block given no one else has blocked it yet and most users are on it.

They have already run out of server capacity. They have fewer than 10k users. There will almost certainly be another instance that becomes the default if the reddit exodus occurs as expected.

Also, I haven't seen any instances of lemmy.ml being super aggressive or restrictive. Lemmygrad.ml is blocked by most instances.

If I'm being completely honest, I'll take communists over fascists 10 times out of 10. A leftist backbone is a convenient shield against the alt-right cancer that tends to inhabit these fringe internet communities.

I’d rather reject all genocidal maniacs instead of acting like I need to prefer one over the other for practicality.

I haven't seen anyone advocating for genocide but good for you, you're against genocide

dessalines AKA parentis_shotgun on reddit was banned by the r/socialism mod team for posting fascist LaRouchite propaganda and then praising the reactionary author, who is also a climate change denier who writes conspiracy theory books about the "NWO". He demanded to be unbanned but then made things even worse in their modmail by saying “putting Uyghurs in concentration camps aint cultural genocide because they're extremists”, among other awful things. He refused to apologize for using fascist literature to condemn Uyghurs, and instead kept defending it, so they aint unbanning him.

That’s the admin of the main instance. Advocating genocide.

So I can see that he is interested in and possibly a fan of Lyndon LaRouche, who was a bit of a wackjob but also a free thinker. And he questions whether the treatment of Uyghurs is actually a genocide, which I dont agree with, but is within the realm of rational inquiry. There are no unbiased sources regarding that issue, its all propaganda from both sides. And I can also see that he refused to apologize to the mods of r/socialism.

At no point did you provide evidence that someone was advocating for genocide.
