I was just banned from there for making 4 comments about how a couple commenters could be CCP agents.

.ml stands for marxist-leninist. Yes it's one sided - by design.

Lmfao

You could be a diaspora criticizing the CCP and they'll call you a "Sinophobe" 🀣

lemmy.ml is the tankie instance.

It's one sided by design, because tankies only know of one way to deal with anyone who disagrees with them.

Tankie? Is this a new racial slur I'm not aware of?

[–] Iunnrais@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

It was their self-descriptor until they learned other leftists didn’t like them much (because they’re authoritarian and supportive of fascist dictators such as Putin), and naming them using their self designated term meant they were excluded from other leftists. So they started taking offense.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 16 points 8 hours ago

Authoritarian "leftists" who really like soviet Russia, North Korea, China, or even modern Russia. Often will unconditionally support any country that fights against the US, on the theory that the US is so evil that anyone who's against them must be good. They'll get incredibly offended if you say that those countries are in any way not 100% perfect.

Naw it’s not one sided, you just didn’t hear about the guy who got banned for accusing 4 people of being CIA agents.

.ml is the russian agitprop instance. Getting banned there is a Lemmy right of passage. Congrats!

Edit: 2 years? Took you long enough. ;)

You give me too much credit. Ive made like 10 comments on there and finally got an account banned

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

right now

Lol

Go to settings and you can block the entire instance

When their admin gets bored, they ban anyone they disagree with. You don't even have to interact with them, they just browse and remove anything not toeing the instance line:

Some authoritarian dictatorships are actually totally rad guys!

I blocked that community after having my comment removed. I was saying calling for a genocide of all Americans was a bad thing.... now I just use the .world one and lemmy shitpost. Primarily shipost

...ping?... Is that you? Let me back on temu. Writing reviews as a trans velociraptor is the only thing I know

I don't know what you really expected posting comments like that.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world -1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Ml is pro russia and china. Almost the rest of the instsnces are zionist tolerant. Really shameful

The West is Zionist tolerant in general and we're in Western online communities so it's expected. Nonetheless, the fact that even a small group of Westerners would denounce Western supremacy and surrounding narratives as often as I see it here is both surprising and really sweet, it keeps me hopeful.
