Getting banned from worldnews@lemmy.ml is incredibly easy as they’re super sensitive about china and anything negative gets deleted or gets you banned. They love simping for prc/ccp and pretending they’re not.
Yeah, the ban reason stated in the modlog was just one word: "Sinophobia" 😄
Sounds very familar to r/Sino. I wonder if there's any connection...
Afaik lemmy.ml and lemmingrad are both tankie as fuck
Some people on ml aren't (though many are. I'd say it's about a 70-30 split of moderately to far left sane people (70%) to actual tankies (30%) in my admittedly completely anecdotal experience.
Have yet to see anyone from lemmygrad who's NOT a tankie, though. It's a real shame since the name is a damn fine pun!
I almost made an account there because of that, before finding out that it's more than just a joke name lol
Two groups join lemmy.ml: those who know it's the instance run by the core Lemmy developers and join hoping for a stable experience, and those who join because of the devs' political beliefs. This leads to a weird mix of actual quality content and tankie propaganda.
I wish it was all the latter so I could block the instance without losing the former.
I have met maybe two or three other .ml users who know anything about contemporary leftist politics or political science in general. Even the moderates over there are just parroting the same century old orthodox dogma which has literally zero contemporary examples. "Haha mass murder is funny, violent cannibalism, why don't people like our message, they must be brainwashed, we will make them learn."
These are, by and large, people who seem to believe that Jacobin or the fucking Internationale suffers from a lack of edgy fan service.
