Wow a post on lemmy denouncing the CCPs actions instead of denying them or even trying to justify them? Thats rare

I plan on actively posting to counter the constant barrage of tankie propaganda that is very clearly an issue here. Misinformation is a very real issue that we face in our society and unless we actually do something about it, it will only continue to get worse.

@Senokir @Solaris1789 I hope they don't ban you

If this community doesn't welcome people who actively fight against misinformation then I am more than happy to be banned.

@Senokir In general they are, at the very least, hostile to folks who do so. It's a main reason I use #Lotide (via narwhal.city) rather than #Lemmy (although there are newer #Lemmy instances out there now that I'm considering joining eventually)

It is my understanding that that has been the case for a long time, yes. But I also hope that with the large influx of new users that we will overshadow any bad actors attempting to spread misinformation.
