Just so I know if my time will be well used to redact an answer, what's your affinity with lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad?
I left lemmy.ml when traveling in China because its blocked by the Great Firewall, so is hb, while lemmygrad users are generally correct, I don't think their attitude towards anarchists is productive, and sometimes I see some really bad takes from them.
If you're going to respond, do me a favor and base your take somewhat in reality.
If you can't read chinese, have never been to China, and aren't getting your takes from anyone who has and doesn't have a material interest in peddling propaganda, you probably shouldn't speak on the matter.
Btw, I should be in Xinjiang tomorrow night, and theres an older uhigur living nearby here in Kazakhstan if you had any questions you wanted me to ask.
What is it with lemmy.ml that I have missed? I personally just chose it by pure randomness on a list when I created an account, but I have seen it come up more times now as something negative?
I have no clue what hexbear and lemmygrad is.
.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear are three Lemmy instances known for hosting mostly users with socialist viewpoints, many of them appreciating Actually Existing Socialist states. Hexbear is mostly defederated because it has a strict policy of protection of its 50%ish trans userbase against transphobia, whereas .ml is mostly federated as a major instance.
There are frictions between non-socialists in other instances and socialists in those three instances, because politics is a complicated topic that reasonably makes people passionate and emotional.
Lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad are infamous for being the three big instances hosting tankies.
