First, you didn’t pay attention to the meme at all, because if you had you would realize that I said .ml tankies specifically (or you did and then it’s kinda funny how you immediately thought I was talking about all .ml users)
Third, it’s mostly about the tankie “culture” (read pro-China, pro-Russia and even pro-NK misinformation and propaganda) that the devs, admins and mods encourage and enforce. You can’t even post anything negative, no matter how backed by facts or deserving it is, about China or Russia without getting some sort of ban. China IS an authoritarian dictatorship masquerading as fake communism.
Fourth, .ml admins and mods doesn’t want Lemmy to grow even at a healthy pace, if it’s not growing in the direction they want (e.g. a tankie echo chamber).
Fifth, I have no other major issues or concern with any other instance that hasn’t been already addressed (eg hexbear, lemmygrad)
The PRC officially terms itself as a democracy, using terms such as “socialist consultative democracy”, and “whole-process people’s democracy”. However, the country is commonly described as an authoritarian one-party state and a dictatorship, with among the heaviest restrictions worldwide in many areas, most notably against freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, free formation of social organizations, freedom of religion and free access to the Internet. China has consistently been ranked amongst the lowest as an “authoritarian regime” by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index, ranking at 148th out of 167 countries in 2023. Other sources suggest that terming China as “authoritarian” does not sufficiently account for the multiple consultation mechanisms that exist in Chinese government.
Or in other words, says one thing, but does another
Wikipedia is not a source , and your ‘source’ does not support your argument. It states some claim it’s not a democracy, mainly it’s military enemies who themselves claim to be a democracy, but less than 10% of the populace gets any power.
