First, you didn't pay attention to the meme at all, because if you had you would realize that I said .ml tankies specifically (or you did and then it's kinda funny how you immediately thought I was talking about all .ml users)

Second, .ml is actively hurting Lemmy in the Fediverse now

Third, it's mostly about the tankie "culture" (read pro-China, pro-Russia and even pro-NK misinformation and propaganda) that the devs, admins and mods encourage and enforce. You can't even post anything negative, no matter how backed by facts or deserving it is, about China or Russia without getting some sort of ban. China IS an authoritarian dictatorship masquerading as fake communism.

Fourth, .ml admins and mods doesn't want Lemmy to grow even at a healthy pace, if it's not growing in the direction they want (e.g. a tankie echo chamber).

Fifth, I have no other major issues or concern with any other instance that hasn't been already addressed (eg hexbear, lemmygrad)

Like a politician you avoided my main point about you re-uploading every post you see on .ml and the fact that you are using the platform that the admins of .ml (also the lemmy devs) created.

re-uploading is ok it’s part of social media but specifically targeting certain people is just sad it’s like you hate what they do on .ml but you’ll re upload their content.

And if you hate their ideas and views then why use their platform?

So sorry I didn't address every single thing on your wall of text, here:

Like a politician you avoided my main point about you re-uploading every post you see on .ml

Cross-posting, using a built-in Lemmy feature I might add (not exactly hiding it lmao) to non-.ml communities as part of an ongoing effort to grow non-.ml communities. I don't target anyone specific like you seem to say.

the fact that you are using the platform that the admins of .ml (also the lemmy devs) created.

And if you hate their ideas and views then why use their platform?

I'm a wholehearted believer in the idea of separating the art from the artist where its use and/or viewing does not financially support the artist with views I disagree with. In addition, I don't have control over the underlying software in use on any given instance AND it's the Fediverse, even if I was on say a piefed instance, the .ml instance and content would still be federated. Because ya know, the Fediverse.

And also, so you admit the admins and mods are Tankies then?

So you're just but hurt your unsourced propaganda gets banned?

How fucking fragile is your world view?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China

The PRC officially terms itself as a democracy, using terms such as "socialist consultative democracy", and "whole-process people's democracy". However, the country is commonly described as an authoritarian one-party state and a dictatorship, with among the heaviest restrictions worldwide in many areas, most notably against freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, free formation of social organizations, freedom of religion and free access to the Internet. China has consistently been ranked amongst the lowest as an "authoritarian regime" by the Economist Intelligence Unit's Democracy Index, ranking at 148th out of 167 countries in 2023. Other sources suggest that terming China as "authoritarian" does not sufficiently account for the multiple consultation mechanisms that exist in Chinese government.

Or in other words, says one thing, but does another

Wikipedia is my go-to for unbiased cold war facts 👍 Meet Wikipedia’s Ayn Rand-loving founder and Wikimedia Foundation’s regime-change operative CEO

Katherine Maher has since moved on to more prestigious positions of US imperialism:

She subsequently joined the Atlantic Council and the US Department of State's Foreign Affairs Policy Board.

Wikipedia is not a source , and your 'source' does not support your argument. It states some claim it's not a democracy, mainly it's military enemies who themselves claim to be a democracy, but less than 10% of the populace gets any power.

Can you freely criticize the government in China? Is the press in China free and independent? Do the Chinese people have free and open access to the Internet? Are you allowed to protest the government in China?

No, no, no and no. Sounds like it fits the definition of an authoritarian government, despite what said government "officially" says they are.
