Someone who’s so anti America, whether justified or not, that they make the mistake of thinking anything the US likes is bad and anything it dislikes is good. Hence, its rivals can do no wrong.

Red Fascists, basically.
They only want authoritarianism and violence. Check out meanwhileongrad for examples of their extremism, which is fully supported by the developers of lemmy.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

The problem is that lemmy.ml is the front page of the lemmy project, and I knew that dessalines are politically leftist.
Since reddit emigration to lemmy, the guy keeping a low profile and there were posts and comments about China, CCP and Jinping but they were not deleted. And there are c/technology and c/privacy communities on lemmy.ml, someone might post high-tech surveillance over activists or Uyghurs.
And this move doesn’t look good for the lemmy project itself.
