So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy’s version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?

The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml

    .ml is the top level domain for the country of Mali. .ml domains are free, so it is just a coincidence. Also, Marxist-Leninism is not a ‘tankie’ theory, by itself. There are plenty of communists and socialists that aren’t simps for China and Russia.

    I would even say that you can’t be a true communist and support either of these countries, because these countries are not communist at all. They are just authoritarian capitalistic hellholes, with sprinkles of social policies to give the illusion of pursuing a communist society.

        Fuck I’m retarded.

        I’ve been here for months and kind of known all these components but just never connected the dots.

        I was even defending Lemmy at one point.

          Well, lemmy is code. From what I heard the indefensible thing about it was the utterly unoptimised DB usage but with influx of new devs that got quite a bit better.

          At the beginning there were talks about a fork but one doesn’t just fork a FLOSS project if there’s no technical reasons, or reasons regarding project management, and in that regard dessalines appears to be sane.
