Lmao I’d be off to requisition a runabout lolol fuck this planet lmao
Because this is Android, not the conformist CrappleOS 😤😤
There are upvotes and downvotes and they do have some use gauging that content IMO
That being said, without the corporate structure and profit motive to produce a monetizing algo that encourages others to game it to further their own monetizing goals…it’s SIGNIFICANTLY better
Up/Down votes aren’t inherently bad, Reddit and other corporate platforms corrupt it with their profit chasing
China is the subject matter expert on censorship and media control, they probably wrote the book on it. Israel by comparison is both new at it and, honestly, I don’t think they cared to hide it that much. China in all likelihood has very good (well good for them anyways…) reasons to do everything it can to keep a tight lid on it
Blocking doesn’t solve the problem of the misinformation, Russian/Chinese propaganda, genocide denialism and human rights abuse denials they push
And also, I’m not making a decision for anyone
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)
Second, .ml is actively hurting Lemmy in the Fediverse now
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 what now‽‽‽‽
