I'm hearing Lemmy itself, the .ml instance and some others are ran by Tankies that censor criticism of russia and china. What are your thoughts on this? (lemmy.world)

This is going to be why Lemmy doesn't take off long term.

I don’t think it will keep it from taking off, but I am not sure that all the most popular communities should be on lemmy.ml.

I appreciate that the devs/admins for the most part do encourage dissent.

Idk would you sign up to a place you'd heard was run by tankies? I sure wouldn't.

Good thing most instances are run by other people, then.

Doesn't matter if most people hear "run by tankies" and don't understand federation.

I mean, reddit's CEO used to mod that sub. Reddit and redditors were still fine after it blew up. Why are there different standards? The sub may have been banned already, but I doubt spez has changed much. Reddit admins have gotten away with a lot like editing comments, refusing to ban certain subs until there was media coverage, etc. Personally, I haven't encountered any censorship due to political affiliations (yet). And if it happes, I'll change instances.

They don't control the fediverse just as much as they can't control which instance I join/create.
