The Lemmy Developers are now personally blocking and banning users and communities critical of Tankies and the Developers.
(sh.itjust.works)
A few years ago, the Lemmy Developers decided to keep their political views on lemmygrad while keeping lemmy.ml more neutral. Now they are banning users who are critical of their actions and bigotry.
Anti-Tankie posts may put you at risk of being banned from commenting and posting on the lemmy.ml instance.
I started with an account on Lemmy.ml and was banned when I argued with the owner/developer, Dessalines, about the Xinjiang genocide being real. I noped out of there very quickly, and you should too. Other users have been banned for questioning the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Wait, what do they think happened at Tienanmen Square then? And do they paint the wiki article about it as "fake news"?
Yes, literally. They argue it was a “mostly peaceful” student protest and a few people maybe got killed when they attacked police. They argue the scope and severity has been fabricated by the West, and that there is no evidence of a massacre.
All the usual tinfoil hat stuff you can expect from leftwing authoritarians.
They blame the students for the deaths and that it also never happened.
Oh wow really? You should link that!
I had to dig a bit because Dessalines deleted the comments, but I found a screenshot. It references the Xinjiang genocide, not the Tiananmen Square massacre. Other users in the same thread were getting banned for discussing the Tiananmen Square massacre, but my ban was based on my comments about the Xinjiang genocide.
He deleted the comments? Can you link to the thread? Surely some of the comments by the other users should still be up
It was many months ago and my account doesn’t show any of the comments anymore. Can you tell me how to locate the thread if my comments have been deleted? The username is in the screenshot.
Surely if he deleted my comments, he deleted all the other critical comments too. I don’t follow your logic.
Edit: I found his comment on the thread. As you can see, my comments have been deleted. Most of the other comments on that thread being critical of Lemmy.ml and Dessalines have also been removed due to “orientalism.” This is what they call “being critical of China.”
Which side did you argue?
That it’s real, of course. Why would arguing the inverse get me banned on Lemmy.ml?
