Whats up with .ml ?
Saw people pointing fingers about .ml users and idk whats up , joined not too long ago
You're viewing a single thread.
.ml is run by the lemmy developers. They chose .ml for marxist-leninist. They also run lemmygrad.ml which is pro russia pro china and pro authoritarian. The admin team and mods have leaked over into lemmy.ml, so what comments get banned or removed tend to be those critical of russia and china. Just take a look at the modlog and yptb
To Russiagaters/BlueAnoners, any amount of nuance regarding Russia makes one pro-“Putler.”
Yikes , russia bad so im outta here into another one
For what it's worth, Marxists aren't actually "pro-Russia," more anti-NATO and anti-US Imperialism. Marxists critically support Russia's stance against these, while disapproving of its severe LGBTQ repression, Capitalism, etc.
Marxists are generally pro-PRC, that part is true, and it isn't the same kind of support as Russia as Marxists do generally support the PRC's economic model.
Nothing is without critique, of course, but equating the support for Russia and China is deliberately misleading.
That’s a good call. You’ll get a few .ml users here defending the place, but they really are pretty heavily authoritarian shills at the end of the day
