Lemmy.ml is run by people who spread authoritarian propaganda, most likely the CCP. It's a real stain on Lemmy and people shouldn't support or legitimize it in any way.

It's not a good discussion when they ban you in the middle of it for saying NATO is a defensive alliance.

Because the discussion isn’t good, the instance admins themselves go from thread to thread removing anything that doesn’t agree with their chosen narrative of the week(subject to change according to the latest ccp talking points)

It’s only really a problem when comments get removed or people get banned because they have opposing views.

It’s important that one group of people should not be able to monopolize the discussion. I believe it’s important to the long-term health of the fediverse even if I don’t agree with some of those groups.

Banned.

You'll receive a much wider range of sources and bias, as well as the perspective of people who don't completely agree with you.

That's why I often interact with Truth Social /s

normally i would be inclined to agree with you, but when we're talking about people who "believe" that the left is more of a fascist threat than the political right in the US, i don't think that should be a valid held opinion currently.

The biggest differences seems to be .ml Russia and China are never wrong and Israel drinks the blood of Palestinian children. On .world Israel is just bad, and China and Russia have problems.

Be the change you want to see in the world!

Try criticizing China's government on one of their posts.

They're not as bad as Hexbear, sure, but they're constantly turning everything into a political discussion.

After spending a bit of time on communities based on their instance, you just get so sick of hearing about it.

Hexbear are vile, ML are just annoying.

I've seen one of their users say it's ok for middle eastern countries to oppress LGBTQ people in an LGBTQ community. Haven't seen much else from there because that's when I decided the ml instances were more trouble than their worth and blocked them.

No they are tankies. I got banned from the comics sub for criticizing a comic that gave a, to put it nicely, very one sided perspective on communism.

I’ve had comments deleted that ran against the grain at .ml, even when they were adequately sourced. I don’t think the instance is necessarily objectionable, but the mods will object to things they don’t want to hear.

stick to the linux subs and you'll be ok over there. As soon as politics comes up, they go full tankie.

Ooooh I'm about to stuff that inbox FULL of hate!

They literally censor comments even in non political Communities.

Lemmy.ml is just a Propaganda-Machine.

Yeah lets ban discussion too eh.

That's how I see .ml because you have to be in the cult and not question anything or get banned.

The .ml instance has deliberately overt bias and will literally ban you for not agreeing with their interpretation of Marxist-Leninist communism.

Bad faith “conversation” is their thing.

Many of their communities are becoming “the Donald” type situations.

You choose to socialize and mingle with who you want
