I just realised, I can’t post anything on lemmy.ml

So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there’s a new moderator.

All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned

    Meanwhile dbzer0 is still federated to Hexbear, despite having a strict “no tankie” policy.

        It’s just a pejorative for Marxist-leninists/communists/“authoritarian communists”.

        The lemmy platform was built by communists, and there’s a couple of active instances of communists on lemmy.

        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.

          i’ve heard so many takes on defining what a tankie is, and i gotta give it to you, this one’s the worst, yet.

            I could always be less charitable if you’d like and say it’s someone who dislikes dissent against authoritarian leaders and simps for dictators.

          The “Communist Manifesto” was written by the guy who said “We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.”

          A non-marxist who just wanted a commune would be something like a Utopian Communalist, or something like that.

        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.

      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.
