Thanks, I honestly didn’t know! I’ve only really adopted Lemmy for almost daily use a few weeks back and mostly read tech related stuff and it’s been blissfully apolitical for the most part. Some of it is on .ml - I now understand the issue and will look out for it/support communities on other instances where possible.
Comment on Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse
Mjpasta710@midwest.social 3 weeks agoIf you’re asking in good faith… Most of lemmy.ml is a tankie echo chamber that silences or outright bans any dissenting discussion. Try bringing up the facts surrounding Russia, China, or North Korea… Only lies and good vibes are permitted.

I did not know this and posted a serious question on a thread dismissing starvation under Stalin as fake news. Ban was swift and responses were brutal. I thought it was just isolated trolling at the time.
