No thanks. I don’t give a fuck about getting ratio’d. Let the people decide. Assuming this platform ever gets more traction, which it seems to be doing, the vast majority of the people that come here won’t be tankies so… no, no I don’t think I will go somewhere else.
Indeed, the “they’re all a bunch of tankies over there” narrative is one of the more common objections I see to Lemmy when I mention it as a valid Reddit alternative over on Reddit. Bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, mind you - we need non-tankies to balance things out. Here’s hoping that there’s enough new blood coming in anyway to manage that.
I have done no such thing lol. I’ve made two comments one making fun of the guy that said china isn’t part of world news and this one. Your comment trying to paint me in this light just reeks of desperation or the inability to read
So posting one article about china bad is an influx of new users with a predominantly western liberal mindset echoing the corporate media narrative. Seems like a bit of a reach.
If someone posted some bad shit about USA nobody would give af and would mostly agree, you just seem like you don’t want anything critical of china
Why make/go to another political echo chamber over potentially getting “ratio’d” (which is meaningless and doesnt say anything about one’s argument). Anyone has the right to post something no matter what people around think. Posting all this on an instance that would be INSTANTLY defederated by instances like lemmygrad is pointless and we’d just end up with less debate and more polarization.
Hey, I just wanted to clarify something because I wasn’t sure from reading your comment, but Lemmygrad federates with everyone by default, except instances that have caused us troll waves in the past. We federate with e.g. lemmy.one and beehaw.org, but they instantly blocked us on day one.
They did indeed, but as you are fully aware, the Taliban’s rule of Afghanistan is currently very friendly with China and Russia, and is very staunchly anti-american

These people really want their echo chamber, not a good look for Lemmy imo

echo chamber? youre the one echoing western corporate media narrative.

I’m sorry let me clarify. By ‘you’ I mean the influx of users with a predominantly western liberal mindset.

We do also block the nazis
Unless they’re anti-american of course
Wrong
Why? Weird line to draw if you are fine supporting the Taliban
Usa are the ones who supported the taliban
They did indeed, but as you are fully aware, the Taliban’s rule of Afghanistan is currently very friendly with China and Russia, and is very staunchly anti-american
I think that tankies, arguably, are hardly leftists at all.
Looking at the community, all I see is Red-Draped Reactionaries.
Nah, eventually they will be outnumbered an dislike to go beyond lemmygrad because they get endlessly shit on
