For all the newcomers that aren’t aware, I just stumbled upon this insane drama.
Apparently lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] is the result of a reddit sub ban of a
bunch of pro-china bots who vigorously defend the Chinese government, and the
two top admins are also the top devs of the Lemmy source software. Pretty
terrible stuff! The linked thread is full of their insane ramblings and
denialism Edit: I seem to have been blocked from commenting, all my replies are
timing out now. But I wanted to say that I don’t intend to make this post as an
“anti-lemmy” thing, I think the truth should burn brightly in the sunlight. We
should try to continue to grow Lemmy (especially since we’re the largest reddit
clone) while calling out their propaganda and hidden motive. Edit2: turns out I
can comment, I just can’t reply to kbin user comments from my instance. Just
spins indefinitely.
Two weeks ago I called Putin "one of the butchers of the Soviet Union" and a "brain-dead neolib" got thirty plus upvotes
Just cause we want him to win against an alliance that is literally normalizing neo-nazism doesn't mean we wouldn't cheer if he was overthrown in a socialist uprising
Fuck the oligarchs, but especially fuck the neo-nazi ones, this isn't a hard position to maintain
