          That’s quite a bad way to express yourself.

          But then, the Lemmy front-page sending unsuspecting new people into a place where they will censored if they try to speak against of dictators and human rights violations isn’t a good thing. So yeah, Lemmy is better with the ML not listed.

          I’m on Lemmy.ml and am anything but a “tankie”. Love it here. Tonnes of tech/varied posts in my main subscribed feed and I’ve never noticed anything other than a minimal dose of drama…Facebook or Reddit are much more toxic in comparison which is part of the reason I left those places.

              This is the type of comment written by people that talk about .ml but never actually go to .ml

              Plenty of uncensored criticism of both China and Russia. Just don’t scream at everyone that they are a tankie.

                Lmao. I have been to .ml plenty. I have gotten banned for simply mentioning the time Russia shot down a civilian airliner. Twice!

                  Thanks for linking this, this is indeed more censorship than I have seen from other users and this does adjust my opinion of their censorship. Most of your comment is not entirely accurate (and weird as infrastructure is what the public uses) but this line does stand out

                  They should not have their entire population as slaves

                  Anyway I don’t think that deserves a ban. Thanks for the heads up.

              There are some nice people. However that does not negate the glaring issues with the instance.

      …or don’t.

      My understanding is that Lemmy.ml is not exactly a nice place. Lots of drama. I’m staying out. But it very well might be a bad starting point for new users.

      Then again I’M a new user, and I have next to no idea what’s going on.

              I am one of the victims of the censorship you say doesn’t happen, so I am banned on lemmy.ml for making a comment about the Tiananmen Square massacre.

                Where did I say that censorship does not happen?

                I’ve been busy posting to [email protected] for the last week following your post.

                You don’t need to have an account on lemmy.ml to organize the migration (I did not post there). Organizing the migration means

                  You didn’t, I got your comment mixed up with what someone else said on another comment chain, and I apologize.

          This is a bit of a tangent though - OP was talking about instances, which at least one person said was removed deliberately so as not to overload them - so presumably by their own consent and likely even request?

          Whereas here you are talking about communities, which should be visible across the Federation regardless - subject to the standard, complex set of rules (which you are working to lower the barrier for with all your alts pre-subscribing:-).

          And to complicate matters further, it sounds like these communities have been missing from that list for many months now already. So this truly might be a unique situation, if that instance has actively removed consent to be listed there? Perhaps they would reconsider offering their consent to listing the communities if asked though?

            Presumably being the key word here. It’s not clear based on this comment. It might have been a Lemmyverse decision to remove all of the .ml communities because they disagreed with the instance admins political stances.

          Didn’t know! Were there any responses from the .ml admins?

          I also noticed that this post is not available on lemmy.ml, apparently they banned the post. Looks like they banned the OP from the instance.

          It looks like admins from .ml ban people who write bad things about CCP and .world admins ban people who can write bad things about US imperialism. They both think that they fight trolls and usually it’s the case.

          For example, the banned OP wrote something like “Why, to ban criticism about China more actively?” in https://feddit.nl/comment/10140068 (6 days ago, while the post was created 9 month ago!) which is definitely not okay behavior.

            I criticize US imperialism all the time. Not even a warning let alone a ban. So I don’t think that’s the case.
