Never said Lemmy is pro-corporate. The anti-Lemmy.ml posters are.

By “apologists for their crimes,” you’re referring to Lemmy.ml users providing sources dispelling the western hoaxes. Yes, they tend to be better educated and don’t simply repeat western propaganda that’s been debunked.

I do think .ml is a little too intense, but op is also kinda right about .world imo. Come to dbzero, we've got anarchism and piracy

I agree. They should look at Lemmy.ml to see what y’all are opposing.

Thank you for your accidental recruitment efforts.

I originally joined .ml excited for a less shit leftist internet space. I really gave it a chance.

But it's the same ML brainrot you find way too often in leftist spaces. It has nothing to do with worker liberation and is just focused on relitigating the cold war and defending different tyrants. I actually spent a lot of time defending ML for leftist diversity I now understand was largely imagined. That stopped when they kept banning me for not licking the boot.

Whenever I see comments like these, and their posters are asked to ellaborate, they usually always end up with something along the lines of "Well I wanted to be transphobic in peace and they wouldn't let me".

I won't ask you to elaborate. Don't know if it's your case, don't care either. At this point if you are seriously attempting to conflate .ml with the other two instances you are undoubtedly engaging in bad faith. But if this wasn't already a red flag in its own right, you went out of your way to confirm it by saying that ".ml is legitimately worse than reddit in basically every way".

You are not "thousands of users" and it's quite pretentious of you to project your experience onto so many people. However, by adding fuel to the constant fire of the never-ending tankie discourse on Lemmy, you are helping making this place hostile to everyone except for a very thin fraction of the political spectrum (the one that is allowed to thrive in the West), therefore making it suck on Lemmy for, you know, actual thousands of users of many different backgrounds and creeds that don't share the rabid anti-tankie brainrot.

Not willing to start an argument, since this whole topic about "tankies" on Lemmy is exactly as toxic, disingenuous and unproductive as it was back on Reddit, so I might not reply further than this.

But elsewhere in this thread I have seen you post "evidence" that was actually just some ridiculous meanwhileongrad thread. If we are going by those standards then I might as well pull out all the exaggerated out of context circlejerking about liberals that is common on Hexbear. If we are to drop our collective IQ to zero, we may well be playing this game in both directions. But oh wait, turns out it's only bad when Hexbear does it to own the libs, but it's fully solid compelling evidence when another certain instance does it about "tankies".

The claim that .ml is censoring comments "for nothing else other than being against Russia/China/NK", at the very least, does not match my experience of browsing .ml at all. But if you do have evidence as you say, I invite you to actually post it and let people discuss. It shouldn't be hard; the modlog is public.

That said, I'm personally not interested in starting the 95474214th Lemmy argument about tankies this week on this website so don't expect me to reply.

I was on Hexbear and am on .ml. I don’t say and I don’t see anything like what you lot bang on about.

Capitalism cannot be killed by any political movement unwilling to repress Capitalists. Look at the state of Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism the world over, and how in every borgeois democracy it is losing ground to fascism, and either accept the truth or bury your head in the sand.
