Check the new pinned post in .ml’s meme community. Here’s the post itself:
There’s so much goofiness to unpack here.
And a bonus, this small comment thread. We’re totally not a marxist instance guys but we totally are a marxist instance guys and it’s such a good thing:
I can’t mentally square how someone could claim their instance is general use, run a general meme community, and also openly state the community purpose is to further specific ideology. Wow.
Nothing against surfacing lesser heard voices, but that’s not the place for a generic meme comm (go make a leftymemes equivalent or something), and we all know that isn’t what’s really going on here.
I’m really not a fan of .ml, but I’m not sure I see what’s objectionable in either of these posts.
If you say that genociding Uyghurs is not okay, the lemmy.ml admins consider that to trigger the rule about colonialist mindset. Similarly, if you talk bad about the Russian colonization of peoples such as Mari and Buryats or Tatars, that is seen by them as an example of you having a colonialist mindset. And those messages of yours then get removed by the mods.
Because they mean “please fellate our favourite dictators”. They don’t actually say that, but that’s what they mean. The “voices from the global south” that they’re talking about are Putin, the CCP, the Ayatollah and their assorted and equally unsavoury friends.
