    news@lemmy.ml restricts saying anything even vaguely anti-russian in a time when Russia is effectively trying destroy the west. At the same time, they’re allowing rather blatant anti-west sentiment. And I’m not saying that that’s fundamentally bad, but rather that there is no such thing as unbiased.

    Reddit sure sucks and needs to die though. But their bias of not supporting murder is somewhat understandable.

      I saw the Hammer and Sickle on lemmy.ml and that was enough for me to know that they were probably Campists and Stalinists lol.

      I guess it’s good Lemmy has the different instances(?) even tho it’s a bit annoying.

        The beauty is that you can just block the annoying instances. I’ve blocked lemmy.ml so I don’t see their communities, but can still see their users commenting on posts.

          Yes but its better that if people who are easily misled find .ml they don’t just see a bunch of propaganda with noone arguing about it. It makes it look more normal. The best thing is to constantly call them idiots and accuse them of solvent abuse. That way when gullible idiots come across it they know it’s stupid. A lot of people need to be told.

          Not all of us are happy with it. The Pro-Russia, pro-China posts are enough to make me raise an eyebrow and keep my mouth shut when a mod comes around.

          But… it’s genuinely one of the better moderated instances. It is quite peaceful compared to other communities. I dont see lemmygrad, I dont see beehaw, it’s just, restful

              I have accounts on other instances, but lemmy.ml is genuinely quite peaceful. I find myself always coming back to it.

              There’s a distinct lack of general abuse there, and people seem to restrain themselves from needless insults

            That’s why I like my instance, the admins are great and we have the same mindset of federation: let the users decide who they want to block and only defederate from a instance if they’re hugely problematic or doing something illegal.

            I think lemmy.ml is federated with lemmygrad right? I never see their stuff either, it’s probably such a small instance that it kinda gets lost from the activity of the bigger and more popular communities.

              Yeah on second glance, it is federated with lemmygrad, but I somehow don’t see the posts from there. Apparently, I’ve only blocked one sub from there “GenZedong”, but that seems to be enough for me to not see any of their stuff at a ll.

              I am currently slowly migrating towards another instance, but I genuinely do feel comfortable on lemmy.ml

      Its not murder, it’s self defense. A mass murderer was stopped by Luigi, end of story.

      Reddit can die when there is something better around and I don’t see that in Lemmy etc. Especially with the shittier instances you mentioned.

      If all the people came here and with them propaganda I think in terms of moderation you would be woefully unprepared.

      Not you personally but all the mods on the instances.
