MODERATORS
You can see more content on .ml, because .ml is federated with Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and the other instances like shit just works, lemmy.world, and so forth.
If you want to see a lot of content, it's a good instance for that.
If you want to post what you want to post, it is not a good instance for that, though. They'll straight up delete your comments for expressing certain views, and there's a bot that will edit your comments to remove certain curse words from them.

Is ml on many defed lists? I dont think it is, lemmygrad.ml is heavily defeded. I switched to lemmy ml a while back because of world having issues and find it okay, the porn is off my feed, but basically everything else (including hex and grad, unfortunately) is in, could be that im missing something, but none of the big instances afaik.
Can an instance even collect data that isnt public excluding IP addresses?
I was banned from communities there for "facism" and "nationalism".......
I'm center-left BTW.... Not "left" enough for them, it seems.......
It makes sense; the leaders they admire ban people from real life for questioning the narrative. They're just doing in kind with the limited little bit of power they have right now.
Why they think they'd be in the "good" grouping if this stuff comes to power in the West, I have no idea. You'll notice that precisely 0 of the people posting are (openly) coming from mainland China, and precisely 0 of them have any plans to move there at any point now or in the future.

My additions:
- “Sealioning”
- That’s all a bunch of lies, you’re just blindly linking to a mouthpiece for US imperialism like Washington Post / BBC / Wikipedia
- Links to rt.com
- The answers you seek are in this 90 minute YouTube video
- You’ve unwittingly EXACTLY PROVEN MY POINT (refuses to elaborate)
I am sure there are more

Yeah i like communism and all but can't for the life of me figure out why they like russia and china . Is it because there used to be (a kind of) communism there ? I stand for the idea of communism not the people or places that are (kinda) associated with them .
Tbh I can see how communism is a pretty romantic ideal utopia but when you look at the people proposing communism it's consistently been used as a sort of scam to take power and the freedom of the people that they rule over its like the geopolitical version of saying hey I've been trying to contact you about your cars extended warranty

i can understand if you hate china if all you know about it is western propaganda.
i dont think many tankies "love" modern day russia
Well care to cmv i am not tge one to act like i am very good at politics or know everything and i am open to changing my views if i am presented with information that proves me wrong .
i wrote this in this thread but basically we use the term "critical support", meaning we dislike modern russia in general but support its current goals of pushing back US influence.
this helps us because every time the US interferes anywhere that isnt the west, we end up much worse off than before. this can be for a variety of economic and political reasons, but we generall call it imperialism or neocolonialism.
my own country was interfered with recently and we are still reeling from it.
China is basically still communist, though apparently they have mixed with capitalism as well, and so is Russia basically, with the Russian communist party still a party in Russia and is the 2nd largest party in the country.
Wut?
Russia sold off all of the publicly owned industries to their now plutocracy, and China having a mixed economy is exactly not communism.
The United States has a communist party and a mixed economy, no one would ever argue the US is Communist (expect maybe Republicans when a Democrat takes office.)
china is a market socialism or dengist, which means taking a couple of steps back from building socialism to be able to participate in the (capitalist) global markets until they have self sufficiency to fully cut back on the capitalist aspects currently pervading it, and survive the sanctions that will invariably come.
they currently have the goal of being a fully socialist economy by the 2050s. xi is already taking some action in this direction but we don't expect it to happen overnight.
on the other hand, russia is currently fully capitalist, yes, but they dont kneel for the US hegemony which is why we support some of their goals.

They are authoritarian yknow the exact opposite of communism ?
Meh, add to your block list with hexbear, you won't miss em.
Not true a lot of great privacy/open source communities there
I'd rather miss that content and spare myself reading the drivel of useful idiots
Anything good gets reposted elsewhere. Signal to noise at hexbear is too poor to leave it unblocked. I don't miss it.
