Their news, or world news, I forget exactly, has been the first long time subscribed comm I finally ditched. Anything posted there with a relation to the USA is going to inevitably devolve into 'western imperialism', 'dems evil', 'china supreme' etc. With any dissenting commentary being at best piled on to say how wrong it is, and just as likely deleted.
I've got a comment removed for using the term "tankie triade" on .ml. There are reasons to be annoyed
I’ve seen a lot of people from .ml who advocate historical revisionism regarding Chinese and Soviet crimes.
Man, you can lock the whole instance for yourself, you don't have to make the decision for everyone.
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
You can block them, so you don't have to see their posts (or their comments, some apps allow you to block the comments as well iirc). Or you can move to an instance that chose to defederate with them.
just block the instance man these type of posts are for toddlers
Yeah just what we need, a whole bunch of people sticking their head in the sand so when new people try it leaving Reddit they can see all those Tankie comments unopposed and go "F this place, it's just Voat 2.0"
These posts make me feel bad for .ml users. They've been pretty friendly in my experience.
You clearly didn't voice any sort of doubt or disagreement for the glorious nation state known as People's Republic of China
Most of the CCP dick suckers I saw were on Reddit. Like it's possible to be Communist and be against authoritarian regimes.

There are reactionaries there :/ For instance they make fun of content warnings for vegans. I knew then that wasn't the place for me.
While I do agree with you, I have to say that the anti tankie posts are getting a bit much, especially since there is a dedicated community for that already. And the posts and comments you provide also don't even have upvotes sometimes. So please for your and our sanity, tune it down a notch
While I haven't had to deal with much of the bad .ml users, I had a long comment thread with some conservative guy who got so mad he changed his bio to say "after the last experience, proudly homophobic". I reported it to the admins of the instance and they didnt ban even after all that shit.
