it's true, lemmy.ml is a sham...

The same suicide nets designed to save the people who built your goddamn CPU, you hypocritical bitch?

Does anyone know what rule 4 is? I was banned from an ml community for that very rule a couple of days ago but have not made a comment anywhere on Lemmy for 9 months.

My current guess - I upvoted/downvoted the wrong person as that's about all I do on Lemmy.

I recently got a ban on .ml for saying that the IS banning people from flying because they called in a bomb threat on an plane is not the same as China banning you from flying because you critisised the government.

What's rule 1 on .ml? Everyone is getting banned for it.

These threads are great because they are nice tankie block attractors. They can't help themselves from commenting on their non tank-3 accounts.

Man, your post has really brought out the CCP shills. It's fascinating to watch people go, "Nuh-uh! China doesn't do any of that!"

What is "Rule 1"? Is it "Thou shall not have a different opinion."?

I got banned there last week for saying that lemmy mods are just as pathetic and banhappy as reddit mods

Those who dissent, must get bent.

Just block those instances. My weirdest and most disgusting experiences ever on Lemmy were on instances like that one.

Lol, I got a similar removal and ban (rule 1, 2*) the other day for replying to someone who mentioned credit ratings as a counterpoint to the attempts to discredit the existence of "social credits" (or whatever actual system exists in China, and it does exist, to keep tabs on their population):

This right here.

And the point is that an average American barely knows how those work, or exactly what information the government and or private financial and other companies collect about them (it's a lot) or how much it impacts their daily lives (deeply), in the same way the average Chinese person barely knows just how much surveillance their government is doing on them (it's a lot) or how much it impacts their daily lives (deeply).

This post is such tankie bullshit.

Pretending like only one government does (internal and external) propaganda, or only one government is oppressing and lying to its own people (not to mention people in other countries), or that the average person in any country know, or is willing to admit to themselves, never mind others, and especially never mind people from a country you've been propagandised against from birth, the flaws of their own government is not only laughable, and hypocritical, but also massively counterproductive.

*as you can see, the ban is really for calling OP "tankie bullshit" and *gasp* pointing out that China is bad in the same ways America is bad. Such fragile egos lmfao

ITT: liberals that cannot handle their own reality crashing down around them as they struggle with the choice between acknowledging their entire life has been a waste, or that the leftists were correct again, as history proves over and over

Or it’s not that deep and y’all are just fascists

It might be a bit repetitive, but I think it's important to keep the most clear examples here.

You’re literally just spreading propaganda except for one point. Your critical thinking is a sham

YDI

Tankie is a lazy political slur so your are engaging in bad faith.

YDI, stop blindly repeating a fascist government's propaganda.

Wild to be so indoctrinated that you continue to believe the Uyghur genocide lies, even when the departments that made it up admit they made it up.

This is why it’s so easy to mislead the American public. You want the lies.

I don't get how suicide nets is a knock on china. They're making our phones.

It's our consumer demand and our company's price points that are responsible for the conditions in the factories that make our phones.

YDI.

The .ml policy against bigotry --including parroting western anti-chinese propaganda, that liberals throw ad nauseam there-- has been a consistent policy over time of that instance.
