It was removed deliberately during the reddit exodus in order to direct new Lemmy users elsewhere. Rather than to overload lemmy.ml further.
Also, to push people to other instances to avoid centralization.
Best instance stays winning.
Oh, interesting. I guess now it should probably be added back
Naw... It's okay. We're good.
Yep.
lemmy.world should be removed though.
Now I wish I can move between instances without losing everything.
Shithole instance.
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.
As long as you don't post any uncomfortable facts about China.
Ur getting a censored experience the censorship they have locally is hardcore.
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!
Are insults really necessary?
Context: rule 1 is about xenophobia/racism.
Yep. Plenty of china criticism allowed in .ml
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
Anyway I don't think that deserves a ban. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah that's not accurate. They have plenty of oligarchs. Only most of their population is enslaved.
One could argue Americans are also slaves. Spam lists like this one. Japan is another Asian society with extreme workloads but they don't get these comments.
The standard of living has massive increased in China over the last 50 years. Their population has been worked to the bone, but it didn't just lead to nothing. We deem China to be almost a first world country. Often slightly worse but on the upper end of the second world. The rail infrastructure part is an example of what it did achieve which is why it's weird to "China bad" on that specific post.
Nonetheless I'd rather have seen a discussion than the mods just banning you.
Interesting
Plenty of nice people on Lemmy.ml, sorry for the commenter above
There are some nice people. However that does not negate the glaring issues with the instance.
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.
Well it's definitely not Reddit lite.
