Anyone else banned from world news for criticizing China?

Block these instances: lemmy.ml lemmygrad.ml hexbear.net

There is no point arguing with tankies. They are dumb and they won't change. I just hope there will be a way to completely block those users including their comments. They are polluting the fediverse.

Lemmy.ml is a tankie instance that loves China and hates western countries. Unfortunately, it's also one of the biggest Lemmy instances because it's run by the main devs of Lemmy (who created Lemmy because they were frequently banned on other sites for bootlicking for China). Thankfully, Lemmy is open source and the nature of how it runs allows everyone to ignore the weird ideologies of the devs.

Hey fellow non-China Chinese. Just block lemmy.ml, lemmy grad.ml and hexbear for a much better lemmy experience.

West Taiwan big angry

It was !worldnews@lemmy.ml ... so yeah, almost anyone that say anything against China. It's a tankie instance.

Use !world@lemmy.world instead.

For those of you asking/ curious, the reason given was 'yellow peril'. Really? I guess my being asian and directly affected by the Chinese activities in the scs makes me somehow a threat to yellow people?

thanks for the heads up. I just unjoined all lemmy.ml communities, and blocked the instance. That sort of censorship is not a good thing.

Fuck the Chinese government.

just block the lemmy.ml instance and if you start to feel annoyed by the hexbear, block that one too. You will not notice any loss

That's because the instance was ml. I regularly criticize them in world for their absurd actions.

Fuck CCP

Let me guess, lemmy.ml?

Got banned after calling out russian propaganda for being just that. Literally happened on my first or second day on lemmy.

You Have Been Banned For Breaking The Terms Of Service. Our Terms of Service Are Byzantine And Who Are We Kidding? Nobody Is Manually Administering This Shit. But That Means There's No Appeals Process. So Politely Fuck Off, We're Done Actually Soliciting Content From People. Now We Just Want You Rubes To Give Us Your Money.

I'm confused. Few months ago people were complaining the exact opposite for lemmy.world and to switch to lemmy.ml. Not China specifically, but dissenting views.

What was your account?

I have accidentally responded to posts there but have since blocked the instance. Nothing good can come from engaging with them.

Go ahead and try to say anything against Islam there and same result.

You should have a big bad luck or they got some mods. The number of straight racism towards asians and south Americans I saw in World news made me literally block the community months ago. It was exactly the same as the reddit counterpart.

lol, apparently I got a temp ban for "misinformation" over a comment saying that Russian-aligned forces at Debaltseve ignored the ceasefire that was agreed in Minsk II

In fairness though it was only a temp ban, and they've never removed anything else I've said (even in that specific thread)

No, but thanks for the heads up. Lemm.ee seems to be good about that, or I would've ruffled every feather in the book almost.

What was the post?

If you got banned there, that's a good thing. China's not perfect. But its "criticism", is just a retranslation of agressive american propaganda and western chauvinism. All to brainwash the western people into imperialist warfare. It literally serves the US warmongers. We can see this even by the crazy comments here full of hate and demonization of Сhina born solely of the fact that the American ruling class feels threatened by China and is invested in vilifying it.. It's extremely annoying and it's fascism. I don't want this place to turn into a liberal shithole like reddit with "ChiNa BaD" circlejerk. I don't want this place to be filled with bots and idiots who are duped by them, and moderators deliberately promoting fake anti-China news like on reddit. Or censoring any information about China than contradicts the aggressive american narrative like on reddit. So, yea. If I were ml mod, I'd do the same thing.

Nope. But I’m banned from climate for not liking that little climate girl.
