The Lemmy Developers are now personally blocking and banning users and communities critical of Tankies and the Developers.

A few years ago, the Lemmy Developers decided to keep their political views on lemmygrad while keeping lemmy.ml more neutral. Now they are banning users who are critical of their actions and bigotry.
Anti-Tankie posts may put you at risk of being banned from commenting and posting on the lemmy.ml instance.
I don't think it's worth it to most people, and I'd be embarrassed for someone to find out I use Lemmy in case they checked it out.
The authoritarian propaganda is killing Lemmy.
I actually told a friend I use Lemmy because we used to talk about Reddit together, they instantly replied with "ew". I immediately dropped the subject, but my first and only thought was if they ever checked it out they probably saw some hexbear stuff right away and figured the whole thing was trash.
Hexbear is the worst, but it's far from the only problem. It's bad on here. I've calmly pointed out this is a biased echochamber several times and I just get downvoted.
