I just realised, I can’t post anything on lemmy.ml

So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there’s a new moderator.

All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned

    Yes, like they say, because the tankie posts are blocked.

    Is it really that difficult to understand?

      The why is there so much anti-tankie propaganda? Like so much more than antifascist propaganda?

        Tankies and fascists are just as bad. What are you trying to suggest?

          I’m not suggesting anything. I’m pointing out a bias: eventhough fascism is rampant in the west, to the point there was a coop attempt in the US a few years ago. Yet people on lemmy are very hard fighting tankies where ever they can find them, even baiting with anti-tankie memes on a very regular basis.

          Tankies are not treated like fascists. There is a war waged against them on lemmy eventhough tankies don’t exist in the west.

          Tankies don’t exist in the west because, as it was said, tankies and fascists are the same kind of extremists, but in the west we have fascists already. You don’t have both tankies and fascists in the same place.

          So here we are, with western people on the hunt against tankies. To me they are fascists waging a cultural war on social media.

        Because people aren’t familiar with them and need to be made aware of what they really are. Too many people don’t see the damage these trolls cause because they get blocked and only see the complaints and I’m realizing that defederation has worked in their favor. If anyone actually read the shit they post they would realize they are conservatives trying to make the left look like psychopaths. They appropriate LGBT and other social justice causes in order to attempt to infiltrate the left and rot it from within. Also, they use liberal as a slur.

        Because like all true “moderates/liberals” they love attacking the left.
