Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"?

Well argued.

I didn’t post it, I just saved it somewhere on .ml and it is gone, and found it back on !progressivepolitics@lemmy.world

My question stands though, I sense that “political” is used fairly broadstrokely It almost means “complicated, longer than 5 second attention span” stuff.

With political meaning “relating to the government or public affairs of a country”, e.g. a broad definition too. However, a free person being essentially abducted on the street by plain clothes “law enforcement” could perhaps be seen as a humanitarian, civil liberty, freedom of speech, and some many others before it being just “political”.

Is there a guideline on Lemmy why we let the tankies be part of this or is a bit of an analogy to the r/TheDonald situation on Reddit? As in: I hope that we don’t slide the same way.

How much do you know about the history of Lemmy?

  I think it’s clear that the answer to that is not enough, so why don’t you point me towards the nearest library with a Lemmy history section?

    it’s possible if you sort this community by “New” and scroll down you’ll find lots of good resources. One of the things I complain about is I can’t have two instances open of my particular app at once, so I can’t do it and come back and paste in links without some fancy footwork.

It depends on your instance. There are 3 main tankie instances. Hexbear, Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml my instance blocks the first two but allows the last. This is because ML users are generally not obnoxious and keep their politics within their instances while the other two run wild all over other instances. Personally I dont feel like ML users are that bad. There is right wing lemmy instances but Majority of the instances de federated from them over their disgusting views. I think lemmy does a good job and has the infrastructure in place to promote a healthy range of political views.

  Are there any right-wing instances that stuck around and didn’t move to another platform? I know at least one left for Nostr.
