The instance admins of lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, who are also the developers of Lemmy, have a wide variety of harmful views including genocide denial, transphobia, and support for authoritarian regimes. They are incredibly ban-happy and spend an unreasonable amount of time removing dissenting opinion from their communities instead of developing the platform. They've got a bunch of people in a complete echo chamber where saying anything critical about their favourite regimes earns you a ban despite there being no rules against it. Their users tend to also be the genocide denying, authoritarian bootlicking type.
100% l. Well said.
Wanting 1% the material evidence of the genocide in Palestine applied to other, western geopolitically convenient "genocides", isn't genocide denial.
Transphobia shouldn't be tolerated, you're free to move to hexbear where the slightest transphobia gets anyone banned
Criticizing the mainstream western position on China is not support for authoritarianism. Support for authoritarianism is doing bothsideism while one side is the biggest oppressor on the face of the earth, which happens to be the side where you live.
Why on earth would I go to Hexbear when I've already made it pretty clear I have a strong distaste for .ml? Hexbear is full of the very same pro-authoritarian types and that instance has an awful reputation for brigading and harassing communities. I've seen this myself the numerous times they attempted to federate with other instances, my own included. No thanks.
