      The other 2 are explicitly communist but I’d never assume a lemmy.ml user is a tankie.

      People who chose the thing run by the people who make the thing gang rise up

        Should read more about your instance admin and consider changing instances. I know I won’t support that asshole

          “that asshole” has been working below minimum wage, one unexpected financial burden away from homelessness, for the last four years to bring you Lemmy for free

          What I’m saying is even if you disagree with his views, on the things that actually impact you, he’s been a great positive in your life

          Dessalines, right? I happen upon a lot of his Github issue threads on libraries that i use, which i think is interesting when i recognize the account. He seems normal there.

          Other than that, looking at his Lemmy profile, it seems he gets into a lot of political arguments on subjects that i don’t know much about - i can’t tell if he’s unjustly hateful towards any group. I have heard he bans people a lot over these disagreements, which isn’t cool so i think your sentiment is fair.

          Currently my only issue with .ml is the profanity filter but i don’t know anything about the other instances either. I imagine this conversation has been had a lot already but if i’m on Lemmy either way, what’s the difference in terms of support? If he’s a dick, i’d probably rather just switch to Kbin or PieFed

            !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works if you want to learn more about their (and the rest of the Tankie Triad’s) shenanigans. Though you’ll need to view it through another instance, because .ml blocks it to prevent their own users from seeing it. Talk about censorship LMAO

          This post is complaining about disinformation being censored, which is good. Every website should censor disinformation regardless of source.

              The first removed comment shown in the post is someone falsely claiming that China has “constant efforts to pretend it didn’t happen”

              The linked imgur album is also full of outright disinformation about the incident.

              The imgur album linked in the comment is almost 100% disinformation once it starts describing the alleged atrocities.
