Please report any pro-US-empire comments so we can ban them ASAP.
We aren't going to let people come into this space and justify US crimes like kidnapping heads of state, murdering innocent people, and starting wars based on lies.
Can we please keep the respectful ones so we have a chance to dispel their beliefs? There is overwhelming propaganda against Venezuela that is easy to disprove, but most of their spaces ban us (example: reddit). I wish we have a chance to argue our perspective.
The groupthink on forums is ridiculous, and you don't need to be a capitalist nor anticapitalist to recognize that. I, too, hope that we can have healthy discussions of starkly different views.
❤️🖤
Not really, as usual the communists are right.
I love watching comments like these removed LMFAO. Wish I could report them a second time
It doesn't work like that, how long does it take until people realize silencing people you disagree with doesn't solve the issue? 🤦
People can say whatever they want but we don't cater to bootlickers here, they can go fuck themselves. Why should we allow comments from people who want me dead? Their fascist bullshit is allowed basically anywhere else, they can go to reddit.
No platform for fascists.
Imperialists are the Fascist International.
The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discreetly Internationalized It
Trump has dispensed with the liberal mask, making America nakedly imperialist again.
Take a look what instance this was posted on
"Communism bad, I'm a free thinker btw"
I'm such a free thinker in fact that I blindly trust US media conglomerates to tell me the truth about their geopolitical enemies! Surely they have INTEGRITY and are FAIR AND BALANCED
They're correct, we don't cater to bootlickers here.
amazing timing to be doing projection on this level
Extremely based to see comments removed
Looks like it does work like that. Moderators moderate the discussion. lemmy.ml has no obligation to platform imperialists, nor is there any value in doing so.
And it works well, this community is a lot more pleasant and educational without having to deal with antisocial war-hawks and trolls constantly starting arguments instead of discussions. It's certainly solves that issue.
No one is silenced, Lemmy is censorship proof meaning you are free to start your own instance and communities or participate in any of the other communities where you can spread your support and justification for US imperial activities and CIA propaganda. Lemmy is essentially a fancy email client and just because we don't want US propaganda in our community doesn't mean that anyone is being "silenced"
US apologia is the classic Nazi bar. Let one yank fuck in and the entire thing gets the yank stink on it.
Tolerating the intolerant isn't going to do anything.
"You must allow debate over whether bombing innocent people and murdering grandmas is okay. This solves the issue"
lol lmao even
People whose opinion is "Apartheid should be reinstated" actually need to be silenced, with whatever method one deems appropriate.
Death to ameriKKKa. Al-mawt li-Shaytan ala l-Akbar.
Love your username lmao
if you want to freely spread pro-empire propaganda then go back to reddit or to one of the dozens of lemmy instances that adores that kind of behavior
no one is required to consume your vapid bullshit, nor to host it
It solves the issue of us being exposed to your shitty posts
Doesn't solve what issue?
I dont think you understand how lemmy works. Instances are ran how the people who graciously host them wish.
If you dont like how the admins run this particular instance, make or join one that reflects your values. You dont get to demand anything. You are free to block the instance and/or the person posting. I will comment a guide below on how to do so.
Welcome to a tutorial on how to block .ml on your personal account.
In the top right corner of the top of the page, there are 3 horizontal white bars. Click it.
This will open up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu, you will see your username. Click it.
This will open another drop down menu with 3 options. Click "Settings".
At the top of your screen you will see 2 tabs. Click the one that says "Blocks".
Here you will see "Block user" "Block community" and "Block instance". Click the down arrow below "Block instance".
This will open up a search bar. Type "lemmy.ml" and click it after it shows up. That's it! You've blocked .ml and will never see content from the instance.
But wait, we aren't done yet in this menu. Click the down arrow under "Block user". Now type "UltraGiGaGigantic" Make sure you select my .ml account as the other ones I no longer use. Thanks, appreciate it.
Reported
Aaaaaaand reported
sounds like reddit lol
[REMOVED]For freedom of speech on certain topics reddit is clearly superior again after similar statements of the lemmy developers.
Reddit is pro-US-empire, we're anti-US-empire here.
Try going over to reddit (or any US-controlled tech platform) and saying something negative about Israel, and see how long you last.
you must be joking.
.ml obviously but the rest of the Lemmy libfest is hardly better.
All they want is their respectable form of imperialism with a slick mass murderer like Obama or Genocide Joe.
I get banned/removed here all the time.
Not only over Shitrael
The same reddit where having pro Palestinian stance gets you banned? That reddit? Lol okay sure whatever you say.
I added "on certain topics" to the comment to make it more precise.
All you concern trolling shitheads should be banned
hahaha
Pretty funny thing to say on a site filled with people banned from reddit for saying things, including but not limited to the word "Luigi".
Reddit is better for freedom of speech? Holy shit, you literally can see every instance even the Nazi bars, what free speech does Reddit have that isn't astroturfed and removed?
Unfortunately, bootlicking the American empire is not allowed. Cry more
The Lemmy devs only have control of the instance they run.
