      Also, to push people to other instances to avoid centralization.

      Best instance stays winning.

          I’m on Lemmy.ml and am anything but a “tankie”. Love it here. Tonnes of tech/varied posts in my main subscribed feed and I’ve never noticed anything other than a minimal dose of drama…Facebook or Reddit are much more toxic in comparison which is part of the reason I left those places.

              There are some nice people. However that does not negate the glaring issues with the instance.

              This is the type of comment written by people that talk about .ml but never actually go to .ml

              Plenty of uncensored criticism of both China and Russia. Just don’t scream at everyone that they are a tankie.

                Lmao. I have been to .ml plenty. I have gotten banned for simply mentioning the time Russia shot down a civilian airliner. Twice!

                I guess it's racist to criticize the unelected government of china now.

                Context: rule 1 is about xenophobia/racism.

                Yep. Plenty of china criticism allowed in .ml

                  Thanks for linking this, this is indeed more censorship than I have seen from other users and this does adjust my opinion of their censorship. Most of your comment is not entirely accurate (and weird as infrastructure is what the public uses) but this line does stand out

                  They should not have their entire population as slaves

                  Anyway I don’t think that deserves a ban. Thanks for the heads up.

                    Yeah that’s not accurate. They have plenty of oligarchs. Only most of their population is enslaved.
