I was just banned from there for making 4 comments about how a couple commenters could be CCP agents.

.ml is the russian agitprop instance. Getting banned there is a Lemmy right of passage. Congrats!

Edit: 2 years? Took you long enough. ;)

right now

Lol

Go to settings and you can block the entire instance

When their admin gets bored, they ban anyone they disagree with. You don't even have to interact with them, they just browse and remove anything not toeing the instance line:

Some authoritarian dictatorships are actually totally rad guys!

You give me too much credit. Ive made like 10 comments on there and finally got an account banned

lemmy.ml is the tankie instance.

It's one sided by design, because tankies only know of one way to deal with anyone who disagrees with them.

That's a bit too much. 4 comments? Maybe you're just not in your comfort zone. If you want full on Western propaganda and narratives, I swear Reddit is gonna feel very comfy.

Banned. Rule 1.

Ml is pro russia and china. Almost the rest of the instsnces are zionist tolerant. Really shameful

Tankie? Is this a new racial slur I'm not aware of?

Even Ameribots know "commie" is very "Red Scare" and outdated so they're using that word now. It just means "commie" for this new generation.

Authoritarian "leftists" who really like soviet Russia, North Korea, China, or even modern Russia. Often will unconditionally support any country that fights against the US, on the theory that the US is so evil that anyone who's against them must be good. They'll get incredibly offended if you say that those countries are in any way not 100% perfect.

The West is Zionist tolerant in general and we're in Western online communities so it's expected. Nonetheless, the fact that even a small group of Westerners would denounce Western supremacy and surrounding narratives as often as I see it here is both surprising and really sweet, it keeps me hopeful.

Can't believe lemmyers would be so bigoted

...ping?... Is that you? Let me back on temu. Writing reviews as a trans velociraptor is the only thing I know

I don't know what you really expected posting comments like that.

Right now?

Lmfao

You could be a diaspora criticizing the CCP and they'll call you a "Sinophobe" 🤣

Nah thats just the internet

Naw it’s not one sided, you just didn’t hear about the guy who got banned for accusing 4 people of being CIA agents.

.ml stands for marxist-leninist. Yes it's one sided - by design.

Oh hi, Dessalines

It was their self-descriptor until they learned other leftists didn’t like them much (because they’re authoritarian and supportive of fascist dictators such as Putin), and naming them using their self designated term meant they were excluded from other leftists. So they started taking offense.

Fuck is a sinophobe?

It's campist bullshit.

Karl Marx would call them fucking idiots.

Fear of China:

Ah, thanks. Today I learned.

lemmy.ml is the tankie instance.

One of the tankie instances*

And they would ban him for that

And told him to read more theory!

Nah they harass commies, so basically tankie means anti-commie

Mmm, maybe originally or theoretically, but not in practice. At least not online, or not in Lemmy. Usually what I've seen is the word used by someone who can't accept the realities of Western supremacy and American imperialism and feels your "criticism" and moral judgement of it is too harsh.

Dunno. I see the type who tries to push another type of supremacy and imperialism as some kind of an alternative, don't care what shorthand term they have

Not everybody on .ml is a tankie. I joined waaay before the reddit API thing and back then .ml was like one of three available instances.

Yes, the place is a joke, everyone gets banned from there one way or another. Even fellow communists. Rule one "Be nice" actually means "be nice to tyrant dictators".

Tankies are the leftist equivalent of MAGA.

My guess is to stop everyone else from blocking the instance. They have to claim a few non psycho users.
