All I see in your link is a very strong opinion posted on Mastodon social, but there is zero source of what the user claims. The only link posted is an article from Amnesty international.
They talk about messages with the devs but no citation, no screenshot.
Should I only believe their saying without any proof? This is wrong.
It's not "just one strong opinion". That's one of the most followed accounts on mastodon (which doesn't necessarily give merit on its own), used for tips about the fediverse. It gains absolutely nothing "talking bad" about lemmy(.ml)/its devs/admins.
My question is related to the fact of whether the devs/admins have come out and said anything about it (for or against the claims). It's not the only time that topic has come out, but it's one of the earliest sources of the "political views" topic that I've found.
There are other topics that the devs don't seem to have addressed (regarding preventing (some) outside kbin accounts from requesting content).
I'm all in for Lemmy, but I want to know, that I'm in the right place, not twitter 2.0.
Not meant to discredit. And what's the point of waiting 1 more day to post a simple question. I don't think any of us is going back to Reddit any time soon, so what's the point?
Could you post some links? I saw someone make that claim before on Reddit and looks like they were upset about the lack of censorship and not about human rights violations.
I don't have many more links at hand other than the one from the title. I got that from another site comparing kbin and lemmy. It should be a post on the front page (of all not just local) right now.
I just read it, and it seems to be a "known" issue, which probably resurrected due to the reddit drama, but as a reddit refugee I'm pretty out of the loop myself. I just want to see what the community (veterans?), devs or admins have to say.
"the UN not recognizing it" and "it not being true" are entirely different things.
Even the article you linked makes it clear that at least some of the votes were from countries trying to tiptoe around the issue to avoid pissing off China.
