    A lot of us are pro China and Russia. Not all of us, some of us aren't tripping balls. I'm just kinda here, and didn't realize I was defederated with some other instances...

    Probably gonna make a new account in that case, if I ever remember to actually do so

    That’s what I’m not a fan of. It feels softer than it is, the information bubble. The ml admins are too good at removing dissent and it translates to users unaware of the situation. Were there informed consent, I’d feel less aggrieved.

    The fact they don't list dissent or criticism of China/Russia as being bannable in the rules is one of the bigger problems. They will just ban you for Rule 1 or 2, neither of which have anything to do with that and leaving banned users scratching their heads wondering what they did wrong. Meanwhile to the other .mls, it just looks like the devs banned someone for a "legitimate" reason because the devs will leave a comment painting the banned user's comment in that light.

    Example: User "BillyBobJones" expresses a dislike of China's genocide of the Uyghur Muslims. Dessalines or Davel will quickly ban BillyBobJones under Rule 1 or 2 for, say, "racism". Then they will leave a comment under the deleted comment accusing BillyBob of saying something racist and saying that's why BillyBob was banned. Unless an .ml user bothers to check the modlogs, they won't know what BillyBob actually said and will praise Dessalines/Davel for removing a racist. Dissenter removed, echo chamber reinforced.

    China’s genocide of the Uyghur Muslims

    I literally just left Xinjiang again, currently in Kazakhstan.

    If you want to criticize China, talk about existing policy, not silly shit the west made up.

    Maybe even come over and make some friends and ask them about their experiences.

    Also p sure its lemmy.ml policy to include the post you were banned for, unlike .world who will straight up lie.

    .ml stands for marxist-lenninist. One of lemmy devs literally posts his pro communist essays to github https://github.com/dessalines/essays

    It's a pile of garbage and he seems to genuinely believe in it

    Lemmy.ml is the instance maintained by the creators of lemmy is believe. The have political leanings not shared by the majority of the fediverse. Far left by many estimates.

    If you see something to left to believe, probably comes from there.

    tankies are authright in left clothing

    their takes generally have little to do with ideology however and more to do with loyalty to the state

    i pointed it out in one of community still harboring them, that is not part of that instance, what a surprise instant downvote, and comment removed (especially criticizing CHINas lack of innovaiton or population problems) and im asian myself. funny thing on a post on reddit recently about "voters, left and right base) someone mentioned how tankies are pretty much non-voters themselves, they just like to complain but they dont vote for thier preferred members thats why there is no left wing in america. i call these people inactivist.

    lemme.ml is a politically "left" tankie instance, the opposite of a conservative one. and you can surmise any criticism against that form of thinking will get you astroturfed or banned.

    hexbear, lemmygrad instance are the same.
