So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy’s version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?
The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml
The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml
LOL! There ya go.
Yep.
Fastest way to get banned there is to give valid criticism of China or Russia.
One of the Tankiest of tankie instances
Why do tankies stan for Russia? Nostalgia?
Because no likey da Americans
These morons think Iran is a bastion of anti-colonial resistance
Iran
The theocracy
The successor state to one of the longest running imperial projects in human history
The state currently organizing proxies to destabilize it’s neighbors with the intention of letting a puppet state take all of it for integration within it’s sphere of influence
That Iran.
Tankies have no values and even fewer brain cells.
Because there are reactionaries. It’s like PETA or angry vegans who are in it for the moral superiority rather than making the world a better place.
Sow disinformation about the west, erode tust.
Now, bear in mind I’m acutely aware of the strengths of china, and the failings of the us, but when the 300lb gorilla is in your backyard eyeing your kids, you get involved with the gorilla, and keep and eye on what is happening in office politics and in the neighbours yard.
Inability to hold nominally conflicting ideas. You can be a socialist and be against the actions of countries that claim to be socialist. Likewise you can be capitalist and be against the actions of countries that claim to be capitalist.

Isn’t that the developer instance? Are the developers tanki communists? (I don’t believe a real communist would want to support china OR russia since they aren’t actually communists)
Lemmygrad
Even worse.

Block these instances: lemmy.ml lemmygrad.ml hexbear.net
There is no point arguing with tankies. They are dumb and they won’t change. I just hope there will be a way to completely block those users including their comments. They are polluting the fediverse.
West Taiwan big angry
Apparently I make the great yellow peril.
For those of you asking/ curious, the reason given was ‘yellow peril’. Really? I guess my being asian and directly affected by the Chinese activities in the scs makes me somehow a threat to yellow people?
Same. I literally have family in China and therefore a real stake in Chinese society. Meanwhile a bunch of western tankies who have never been to China and don’t speak the language hand down bans merely for me relaying conversations I’ve actually had with real Chinese people in their native language about Chinese history and politics.
It’s simple racism to infantilise all Chinese people like this, believing they need a bunch of white saviors on the Internet to speak for them and guard their cultural chastity.
Simply mentioning china or any ethnicity at all is seen as racism to them because grounding reality in anything other than communist propaganda is seen as a threat.
Holy shit theyve drunk the cool aid. There’s articles about mainland students just exploding in college classes when bringing up Chinese topics. Or the video about the piano player being intimidated and wrongly accused of impropriety for making a video. The problem is when the authorities side with these bullies, or play it down.
Did you know that if you support Ukraine, the tankies say that makes you racist against Asians? No joke , that’s what I was called. You see, they say, Russia is actually an Asian country.
This isn’t a joke and happened to me. And the people were really really cross with me.
Simpsons did it.
thanks for the heads up. I just unjoined all lemmy.ml communities, and blocked the instance. That sort of censorship is not a good thing.
Some of them came here from Reddit when chapo trap house got banned. Others are straight up BRICS propaganda accounts.
Ok what even the hell is BRICS at this point? It’s geopolitical “stop trying to make Fetch happen!” by now, two of it’s members are in active decline, one is at the edge of being a failed state, and the other two are about as actually committed to some kind of anti-western bloc as the average American prison is to respecting human rights.
Yep. It’s a joke. Was always going to be a joke. Maybe without authoritarian assholes leading the two largest members it could have become something.
Read the comments. Apparently some of their ilk are here too.
Good, that way it’s easier to block them, no need to look for them elsewhere.
You see them all over the place.
ml is usually decent. Hexbear is where things go off the rails
That’s because the instance was ml. I regularly criticize them in world for their absurd actions.
Fuck the Chinese government.
You’ve been banned from lemmy.ml
Keep it civil mate. Be better. It’s not the govt that is banning people here, but the individuals blinded by their tactics.
The Chinese government is responsible for creating a culture of censorship, don’t tell me what to do.

Tankies have occupied the post!
Believe me. I’ve noticed.
Just ignore them. They open with ad hominem attacks, or myriad assumptions about age, account credibiltiy based on registration date, nationality vs ethnicity, political leanings, etc. and demand your response. Let them stew in their ignorant hate.
Yes, I posted a ProPublica article about how the CCP uses organized crime to intimidate Chinese citizens abroad and got banned from the entire instance for it.
It gets juicer. Just read some of the comments here. These people need to touch grass or something.
You Have Been Banned For Breaking The Terms Of Service. Our Terms of Service Are Byzantine And Who Are We Kidding? Nobody Is Manually Administering This Shit. But That Means There’s No Appeals Process. So Politely Fuck Off, We’re Done Actually Soliciting Content From People. Now We Just Want You Rubes To Give Us Your Money.
Pretty much same as reddit, right?

I have accidentally responded to posts there but have since blocked the instance. Nothing good can come from engaging with them.
What was the post?
I’m confused. Few months ago people were complaining the exact opposite for lemmy.world and to switch to lemmy.ml. Not China specifically, but dissenting views.
What was your account?
