This is what it is btw

i dunno how this is offensive

Highly recommend using mediabiascheck.

But if you’re looking for neutrality, social media ain’t the place to be, especially not lemmy.

He brought in Hexbear in an attempt to silence the criticism towards China, but they quickly defederated themselves–So now I suppose he’s just banning things outright.

Lemmy.ml and Grad are the same

Sorry to say that it always was authoritarian. Lemmy was created for authoritarian tankies and bigots to spout their hatred.

Hey all, longtime Marxist-leninist, recorder of left audiobooks, and megathread shitposter here.

Posting this in light of a recent one week Reddit ban I earned for shitting on US police, as I’m sure many of us have gotten in recent weeks.

So I’ve spent the past few months working on a self hostable, federated, Reddit alternative called Lemmy, and it’s pretty much ready to go. Unlike here we’d have ultimate control over all content, and would never have to self censor.

Obviously as communists, we agitate where the people are, so we should never abandon Reddit entirely, but it’s been clear to all of us from day one, that communities like this stand on unsteady ground, and could be banned or quarantined at any moment by the white supremacist Reddit admins. This would be both a backup and a potentially better alternative. Moderation abilities are there, as well as a slur filter.

Raddle isn’t an option obviously since it’s run by this arch anti tankie scum, ziq.

I wanted to ask ppl here if they’d like me to host an instance, and mod all the current mods here.

The instance that post mentions at the end became Lemmygrad. Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad are the same people, and the creators of Lemmy hosted Lemmygrad (and are thus admins there).

This was their first post announcing Lemmy as a real thing you could go use. (It’s also why a good chunk of the Threadiverse is absolutely infested with tankies.)

Feel free to check out meanwhileongrad for countless examples of this hateful content–fully encouraged and even repeated by the developers of lemmy themselves.

damn nexus really just said “fuck you enbies” :(

requiem for a dream. im gonna blow their MINDS

i think it’d be funnier if it was like a kid playing with big blocks and saluting, or something like that.

They do indeed post such content on other instances and communities. There are many examples of this in the community.

You don’t dislike people who deny and even celebrate genocides? Don’t think I want your respect if such content is okay with you.

The purpose is to highlight that tankies are extremists who hide their bigotry and hatred behind progressivism.

fuck 'em

But! The problem comes from labelling everyone a nazi because they disagree with you. I’ve been called a nazi many times by tankies and even other users. Do you think I should be killed?

Too right on that one…

except you can’t just label everyone you don’t like a nazi.

other way around, buddy

actually both definitions are right. hence the name, paradox.

You just asked for evidence.

the mods on several major instances seem to openly allow it.

Mods AND Lemmy developers.

I don’t mind that much since downvotes are public to admins anyway, they’re just ousting themselves lol
