I'm hearing Lemmy itself, the .ml instance and some others are ran by Tankies that censor criticism of russia and china. What are your thoughts on this? (lemmy.world)

My thoughts are that you should use an instance that is in sync with your ethics. That is the freedom you have with opensource.

    I wish. Beehaw isn't sending out confirmation emails and I can't find any other ones that block the tankies.

    Like I don't mind communists and socialists, they tend to be great people. But this? "hey everyone come over from reddit! You TOO can be insulted constantly for not adoring Soviet Russia!" It's an AWFUL look.

    The things on Hexbear and Lemmygrad aren't "communists and socialists" though. They're just supporting straight up authoritarian regimes simply because they oppose "the west". It's just people shilling for Xi Jinping and Putin because they think they somehow still represent Communism.
