  Lemmy.ml is also one of the worst offenders spreading authoritarian propaganda for the CCP and Kremlin. I hate Lemmy.ml

    Examples?

    I occasionally see this argument but not yet seen any evidence to back it up.

      Same here. I discuss a lot with .ml and besides dumping on capitalism a lot (and rightfully so), I havent seen anything supporting this claim either.

    I just searched “china”, and didn’t notice any authoritarian propaganda in the first 3 pages, but I counted 6 anti-chinese stories.

    The closest to pro-chinese stories that came up were that US citizens can now travel to China visa free and the CEO of evergrande getting fined and banned from business, and some news story about economic numbers.

    Would you care to point it out to me?

      Propaganda isn’t obvious like that, and the core of most propaganda is truthful. Generally speaking you need to look at the big picture and what key actors want to be able to see probable propaganda.

      They’ll never say “the CCP is great and Taiwanese people don’t deserve freedom,” but they undermine people who would defend Taiwan and help shape things so an attack is more likely to succeed (e.g., supporting the Kremlin’s attack on Ukrainians).

      Not really interested in discussing it more with a Lemmy.ml user. I’ve seen too much bad faith engagement and don’t want to waste my time. Apologies if you’re actually sincere.

        I think I see the disconnect, you conflate the safety of the state of Taiwan and Ukraine with the people so statements like “I don’t think we should sacrifice a million Ukrainians to weaken Russia” come off as undermining the defense of Ukraine.

        I’m certain even the pro-independence people living in Taiwan would prefer status quo to looking like Ukraine.

  Not entirely true, I discovered the other day, while helping someone figure out why they couldn’t access .ml communities, that .ml blocks furry instances…

  • alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Oh, nvm then. I wonder why they’d block non-yiff furry instances.

    • imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yiffit.net, ani.social, and lemmynsfw.com. Those are the main defederations that I think are a little harsh.

      Aside from those, most of the other blocked instances are pretty egregious (mostly pedophilia and alt-right) and SJW has blocked many of the same ones.

      The only major server with less defederation is Lemm.ee.

        Lemm.ee is pretty sweet and well run. Ml and ee are superior to world IMHO.

      Hi, here’s your pretty much useless furry check.

      Double meaning entirely intentional, because funny.

      I think it was specifically Yiffit.

  lemmy ml de-federates with communites and instances without even a reason, not to say that their moderations actions weren’t questionable in the past and present.
