      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.

    Uhhhhhhh…I don’t know. I just got here a month ago. I spent May smoking so much weed that I do NOT remember the bulk of May. Including the days that led me to Lemmy.

    All I know, is I went through a very bad time in late April. So I just said to myself “too much shit is going down. I don’t even give a fuck anymore.”

    And so it was. I was baked out of my mind for like 3-4 weeks straight. I’ve never done that before, but honestly, I needed that.

    And now that I’m sober, somehow I mostly know what I’m doing within my own bubble on lemmy, but I would NOT call myself an advanced power user of Lemmy.

    I learned while high, and although I retained what I learned, I don’t remember learning it.

    So now this is a new thing about Lemmy. I know of https://browse.feddit.de/ but I don’t know of fediverse explorer.

    Explain the difference between the thing I linked, which I think I was told is the be all end all of Lemmy community searching, and this Fediverse Explorer?

    I’m excited for this Fediverse. I’m all in on this. I love the seperation, the redundancy, the freedom. But I feel like I’m in kindergarten, and you guys are like “check out this algebra!”

    And I’m like “Do what now?”

      …or don’t.

      My understanding is that Lemmy.ml is not exactly a nice place. Lots of drama. I’m staying out. But it very well might be a bad starting point for new users.

      Then again I’M a new user, and I have next to no idea what’s going on.

          Didn’t know! Were there any responses from the .ml admins?

          I also noticed that this post is not available on lemmy.ml, apparently they banned the post. Looks like they banned the OP from the instance.

          It looks like admins from .ml ban people who write bad things about CCP and .world admins ban people who can write bad things about US imperialism. They both think that they fight trolls and usually it’s the case.

          For example, the banned OP wrote something like “Why, to ban criticism about China more actively?” in https://feddit.nl/comment/10140068 (6 days ago, while the post was created 9 month ago!) which is definitely not okay behavior.

            I criticize US imperialism all the time. Not even a warning let alone a ban. So I don’t think that’s the case.
