What's a tankie, and what's wrong with the .ml instance? I just joined it because I read that it was hosted by the people who created Lemmy, so I figured it'd be the best and/or least likely to go down

Nothing's wrong with .ml people just like drama.

Hi there,

lemmy.ml has a slight problem of removing pro-ukraine and anti-china posts. It has a high amount of what are called "tankies". These are communists who believe authoritarian regimes were great. (nothing against communists in general);

Exactly this. Like someone will post an article from RT saying that Ukraine grids up babies for fun. If you ask if RT is really the best source you get a response like “RT cites its sources. If you don’t believe it you can read the sources!!”

If you mention that the sources aren’t reliable or question anything you get sealioned hard.

I would recommend making an account on any instance not ending in .ml or bear.net That way you can have actual conversations without having to wade through the nonsense.

They will also argue terminology instead of addressing the points you raise.
