    Hmm yes, how dare I pushback against authoritarian misinformation, propaganda, censorship and toxicity. I do what I can within my power to prevent (or rather having it get worse I should say)the Lemmy-verse from garnering a rep outside for being “That Tankie Place” or worse, Voat 2.0

    I’ve already seen it on Reddit and testimonials here (from those that actually tried to give it another shot, who knows how many won’t ever come back) “I tried that Lemmy place, but it was just a bunch of tankies” is not a pleasant comment to read outside the Lemmy-verse

    What I’ve documented on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is but a mere fraction of the crap they pull and focused on just .ml

    Btw, tankies are authoritarian “communists”

      Right. And I’m on board with that and that’s not what I am saying. If I mention “Russia bad” in a thread, without any ml presence in the whole post, I don’t expect someone to derail my thread with their anti-ml agenda. Why not keep it there where it’s relevant: an actual ml poster excusing Russia’s behaviour?
