yup it was a recent announcement about "balanced discussions" or whatever

I'm waiting for my ban because they've been handing out some bans for "calls for violence" when people have talked about wishing there was more Luigi's (in stronger language than this). Though depends on the mod.

Lemmy.ml probably isn't my vibe either though, because while I'm way more favourable than the average person in the US or Australia towards China, and while I don't think everyone on Lemmy.ml is a tankie, there is some serious rose tinted glasses being worn by some folk simply because the USSR and China have carried the communist banner.

Ridiculous, given how terribly inequitable Chinese society is. And how they're not exactly models for others to follow. They're in practically the same boat as us now, in this capitalist hellscape. In my case, I'd argue Australia has achieved more socialism than China has (thanks to the union movement, though, that's waning these days...)

I'll probably still move to Lemmy.ml at some point, if and when I'm banned on world ๐Ÿ˜… just hope me calling people out when they're engaging in "USA bad therefore China and Russia good" stupidity doesn't get me banned.

I've viewed modlogs from lemmy.ml before, getting banned for being a reactionary is some wild shit. If not having a hard-on just because something claims to be socialist is being a reactionary, then damn
