ML is run by heavily-indoctrinated communists. They're the type that straight up worship communist leaders.
lemmy.world is kind of run by pussies. They blocked the piracy sublemmy for no real reason other than that.
It doesn't surprise me they are butting heads. Hopefully the instances that allow interaction with both instances triumph over those that try to restrict access.
I wouldn't phrase it at that. They're fans of Russia, China, Iran, and pretty much any other country that's antagonistic to the US. This regardless of whether said state is communist, especially Russia, which has become fascist under Putin's rule.
In short, the .ml owners are tankies
MLs aren't "fans" of Russia or Iran, but value their geopolitical opposition to the west, the imperialist hegemony. MLs do tend to be fans of the PRC, as it's a socialist country. The idea that a country has to be 100% ideologically aligned in order to get even critical support from a communist just plays into the idea that communists are obsessed with purity testing, but that's not the case.
It's run by Russia bots who are pumping out Kremlin talking points whilst deleting anyone who is critical.
I got deleted for pointing out Putin runs a mafia state.
Shit even the Russian communist don't like Putin.
From checking the modlog you got a comment removed and a temp ban for insulting someone
Is it an insult against Putin to declare he is running a mafia state?
Modlog strikes again.
Every time.
*Clutches pearls*
no, it was calling another poster a dumbass, and a dumb fuck
insults people
gets moderated
"I AM A FREE SPEECH WARRIOR FIGHTING PUTIN"
I wonder how much the "Russian running ML" is getting paid to shape the opinions of all 25 people on this platform. Must be making bank
Great to see straight up McCarthyism come back into fashion. Why consider other views when you can just declare anyone who disagrees with you to be a non-human foreigner.
Kremlin and China.
It's a shame, because I do think China is doing a lot of things correct right now. But these people make me question every fucking thing I read about them.
It's absolutely absurd that westerners consider people with wildly heterodox views to be the "indoctrinated" ones.
Supporting communists is not the same as worship. The devs and mods are certainly ideologically committed, but not out of sheer blind religious adherance.
Right. You guys don't just "support" communists; you worship them.
No? I'm a communist, and I support communism. Worship has nothing to do with it. Can you explain what you mean by that?
If you're truly clueless and not just feigning ignorance, then head on over to !worldnews@lemmy.ml and say something critical of a communist leader.
See how quickly you get banned.
You are feigning ignorance though because that's how indoctrinated you are.
I've been critical of communists and communist leaders before, I think you're confusing disinformation being removed with any and all critique being removed. Critique based on disinformation isn't valid critique.
Maybe you weren't banned because you wre from .ml they have banned me on an alt account for expressing my opinion that soviet occupation didn't help my country.
Modlog link? I maintain that critique based on disinformation isn’t valid critique, so it depends on what you said.
Sure you did. You're going to say whatever you think will defend your indoctrination.
That's how this works.
Anyone with a brain can look at the lemmy.ml modlog to see for themselves that you're full of shit.
I've mentioned that the PRC is lacking in LGBTQIA+ rights (though they are improving), that population transfer in the soviet union was one of its worst crimes, that Stalin's homophobia was deeply reactionary, that I'd prefer if the PRC was more millitantly anti-imperialist than they are presently, that revisionism and mismanagement began a trend of liberalization in the USSR that contributed to its collapse, that the PRC made a huge error in backing Cambodia against Vietnam, and much more than this.
I'm not "indoctrinated," and anyond can look at the Lemmy.ml modlog to see for themselves that you're full of shit.
See everyone? Look at how delusional the .ml crowd is.
Can you elaborate for the crowd what specifically I said is delusional? Do you think the critiques I have are actually good things? Do you think they didn't actually happen?
It's really sad how you always have a response.
It's part of your indoctrination.
Being capable of carrying a conversation is evidence of indoctrination?
This isn't a conversation. This is you desperately trying to save face and protect your cult.
No? You made up claims and I disproved them. Simple as that.
Correcting misconceptions and debunking claims isn't "defending a cult," it's having a sense of respect for truth.
Bless your heart.
Amazing.
What a ridiculous thing to say...
I just checked the most recent lemmy.ml modlog and it was someone getting their comments removed for calling someone a racist because they said that most white people are racist.
Look at who you're replying to. They're not capable of fulfilling your request.
I already have done so, though.
