They're full on tankies - this post with admin responses from Lemmy.ml summarizes it well:
https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199
Basically it illustrates their intent to remove "orientalism," aka critique of the Chinese government from any western sources, from any community on lemmy.ml. It's not a great look, but at the end of the day with how the fediverse is set up, they can only control things hosted on lemmy.ml, not any other instances. It's one of the few reasons I signed up here instead of there. If their politics are a deal breaker for you, all you have to do is not interact on that one instance.
I'm not really concerned that any particular instance is really going to impact my usage of the fediverse, but thanks for the info. It's good to be aware that a particular instance may be biased.
Yeah I ended up in the same boat pretty much. I'll likely still participate in some lemmy.ml communities, but if discussion of politics comes up I'll just keep in mind that the community has a certain bias.
