Their idol Mao killed approx 160 million humans.

I’m so embarrassed I’ve been using a tankie instance without knowing it for months and only recently realized it

How can they censor what I say? But only on .ml subs, or they can control me account because it’s a .ml account?

Yes, I can’t write about certain things, in a square 😂

How do you know? I’m finding out because I can’t post or comment about certain things 🤫😳🙈

Can I take my account with me? Or spin up a new account and username? And subscribed communities?

So they’re trying to capture mind share of technologists. Nice play, I’m embarrassed.

Why is Lemmy.ml the most popular tankie instance? I’ve been played by Poo bear, interesting. Thanks I will switch.

Not dominated by Chinese, Russian nor Western state actors. That’s all I’m asking for. Where truth isn’t censored.

The propaganda technique used here “cynicism framing.”

What do you recommend instead? I sign up on another instance? Which one?

What you’re describing is false moral equivalence used as a deflective propaganda strategy.

This was true until I realized they’re all over. Anything even remotely pertaining to China is flooded with the Chinese state actors reply guys and bots. In effect, using the protocols strength against itself. Is the protocol itself even able to be banned in China? Are they seriously active on here just to push their bullshit China marketing even harder. They’ve gone all out the last five years.

Entire subs and communities, and servers are Chinese state actors. I wish we could daylight this bullshit, a single serving page with a method for rankings subs, servers with biases?

Real comment ⏫

Chinese reply guy ⬆️

Can you corroborate this with evidence?

Lol right? Dude the Chinese bots and reply guys are so obvious.

Poo bear’s gotta up his game on 🐻

Lemmy.ml is?!? That’s who I signed up for though. I like the privacy stuff. So which instance is politically neutral but technically aligned, pirate party, self hosting etc?

What’s street complete? I signed up for something on osm to contribute but I never see an option to contribute
