Why do you use one over the other? Also, what’s the deal with Calckey?

      I disagree with what he’s saying. Basically he’s complaining that they don’t ban people who say they like Stalin.

        If we take as a given that the original Lemmy developers are bad people, then even if the infrastructure they created is apolitical, using and popularizing it gives them soft power and visibility. And even if there are other instances run by good people, the original developers run the instance that most curious new people would start by looking at. That gives them the power to direct attention and traffic towards places that they or their friends control

        Please educate yourself on Tankies. They’re a bunch of fascist genocide apologists that are quite literally as bad as Nazis. Similar hateful ideology, just as fascist, same tactics of mass genocide, and they believe they are morally correct in anything they do because they’re anti-Capitalism and anti-Western nations.

        It’s a little more than “liking Stalin”. Genocide is merely a means to an end in an effort to establish a Socialist nation and as long as it is helping progress towards a Socialist state then it is morally correct to do so in their world view.

        E:

        Tiananmen Square massacre? Never happened - that’s Western propaganda.

        The Uyghur genocide? Not a genocide - the Uyghur are religious extremists and deserve to be imprisoned. Please stop listening to Western propaganda.

        Holodomor? More Western propaganda that never happened.

        Hong Kong? They need to stop being children and accept that Hong Kong is part of China. The protests are anti-China propaganda being paid for by the US and Britain to make China look bad.

        Russia is defending itself from Ukraine aggression and like always - Western nations are quick to interfere and turn it into anti-Russia propaganda.
