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)

I know the lemmygrad.ml instance claims to be Marxist but I don't think they're generally taken that seriously (and not to be confused with lemmy.ml) - is that what you're confusing? Apart from that, the federal nature of Lemmy means it doesn't really matter what the creator's political beliefs are.

Nah. I think the ".ml" means Marxist Leninist to them. At least that's what one of the tanky types I chatted to on lemmy.ml said.

I’m pretty sure the domain name might just be a consequence of it being free to register for a year at a time through freenom, and being not super known for spam like .tk

One of the people I was taking too was complaining that people were surprised that it was tanky when it was "obvious" from the domain name that it was Marxist Leninist.
