I'm hearing Lemmy itself, the .ml instance and some others are ran by Tankies that censor criticism of russia and china. What are your thoughts on this? (lemmy.world)

The ideological leaning of the developers means nothing on a federated network. What you care about is knowing the ideology of who runs your instance.

You can just as easily fall into a right wing echo chamber by joining the wrong instance. And one that censors any kind of pro Russia or pro China sentiment, which is equally bad, in my opinion.

Propaganda can come from both sides. Just keep your eyes open.
