Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

what? The good folks at Lemmy.ml didn't like you talking down about a dictator?

Wild!

Lol what’s especially frustrating is the fact that I didn’t even! Literally just made the broad assumption that it was of Russian origin.

It’s the digital equivalent of seeing a foreign bomber plane and being like hmm probably the US because we love bombing people. Like yeah you might be wrong… but you’re probably right depending in where you’re physically located!

Lemmy.ml and even more so lemmygrad.ml (the latter is defederated from by most sane instances across the Threadiverse) are tankie platforms. Tankies believe in alternative facts, such as the fact that nobody died in the Tiannamen Square Massacre. Or if they did then they deserved it. Or if they did not then it was necessary. Or if it wasn't then... - I am saying that you should expect arguments to shift goals moment to moment, based on the personal biases and need to appear right on the Internet, regardless of any need to actually be thus.

And don't even get me started on hexbear.net, which has no real beliefs at all beyond the raw need to troll people incessantly (this one is also defederated from by nearly all sane instances across the Threadiverse).

So, you are missing out on nothing important whatsoever. Consider yourself fortunate that you discovered this early on.
