I see a lot of people dunk on Lemmy here, so I'd really like to see some of the things that make you guys hate / dislike them. And if anyone has proof of them censoring things on the main instance https://dev.lemmy.ml/ I'd really like to see it.

Thanks in advanced!

Why do you need proof? They're completely open about it. They even use a .ml domain.

Here's the owner / lead dev's reddit account IDing as an "ML" (he's actually a dengist) and calling me "the arch anti-tankie scum":

https://old.reddit.com/r/communism/comments/cqgztr/fuck_the_white_supremacist_reddit_admins_want_me/

In that post he links to his "mega threads" which are filled with literal third-positionist fascist LaRouchite propaganda. More on this (and his censorship of anarchists/gay people) here:

Oh, forgot to say this is the article he got banned for:

https://21stcenturywire.com/2018/12/14/the-truth-behind-chinas-uyghur-problem/

Authored by F. William Engdahl, a LaRouchite.

If you're not familiar with the LaRouch movement, here's some reading for ya:

.ml is free to register. Not a coincidence that lemmy uses it, but I thought I'd mention it in case peopøe suspect other services

Also see this cringy hilarity.

And here's more info about thegreyzone, which he constantly links to as a 'source' to support his genocide apologism.

Now you’re making me miss brigading tankies. One day I might compile all their ridiculous rants into a zine or something.

they usually come back with a new epic rant shortly after someone insults one of their daddies on raddle

It’s like summoning a really really shitty evil spirit.

Lol their new logo is literally a tank: https://lemmygrad.ml/

The fuck is going on with you, asking for proof they're tankies?
