Anyone else banned from world news for criticizing China?

Block these instances: lemmy.ml lemmygrad.ml hexbear.net

There is no point arguing with tankies. They are dumb and they won't change. I just hope there will be a way to completely block those users including their comments. They are polluting the fediverse.

Lemmy.ml is a tankie instance that loves China and hates western countries. Unfortunately, it's also one of the biggest Lemmy instances because it's run by the main devs of Lemmy (who created Lemmy because they were frequently banned on other sites for bootlicking for China). Thankfully, Lemmy is open source and the nature of how it runs allows everyone to ignore the weird ideologies of the devs.

Hey fellow non-China Chinese. Just block lemmy.ml, lemmy grad.ml and hexbear for a much better lemmy experience.

West Taiwan big angry

It was !worldnews@lemmy.ml ... so yeah, almost anyone that say anything against China. It's a tankie instance.

Use !world@lemmy.world instead.

For those of you asking/ curious, the reason given was 'yellow peril'. Really? I guess my being asian and directly affected by the Chinese activities in the scs makes me somehow a threat to yellow people?

thanks for the heads up. I just unjoined all lemmy.ml communities, and blocked the instance. That sort of censorship is not a good thing.

The .ml stands for Marxist /Leninist.

That's because the instance was ml. I regularly criticize them in world for their absurd actions.

just block the lemmy.ml instance and if you start to feel annoyed by the hexbear, block that one too. You will not notice any loss

Fuck the Chinese government.

Let me guess, lemmy.ml?

Fuck CCP

I ran into something similar a couple days ago:

I wrote a comment critical of Chinas actions in Africa, which was silently deleted after it got traction. When I looked at the mod log, my comment was not listed. Checked back on my comment, checked the mod log from another machine. Nothing.

Just silently and covertly removed without any trace of who and why. Has me really suspicious

Tankies have occupied the post!

Got banned after calling out russian propaganda for being just that. Literally happened on my first or second day on lemmy.

Yes, I posted a ProPublica article about how the CCP uses organized crime to intimidate Chinese citizens abroad and got banned from the entire instance for it.

Joke's on them. I've blocked them first.

I have accidentally responded to posts there but have since blocked the instance. Nothing good can come from engaging with them.

I'm confused. Few months ago people were complaining the exact opposite for lemmy.world and to switch to lemmy.ml. Not China specifically, but dissenting views.

What was your account?

You Have Been Banned For Breaking The Terms Of Service. Our Terms of Service Are Byzantine And Who Are We Kidding? Nobody Is Manually Administering This Shit. But That Means There's No Appeals Process. So Politely Fuck Off, We're Done Actually Soliciting Content From People. Now We Just Want You Rubes To Give Us Your Money.

lol, apparently I got a temp ban for "misinformation" over a comment saying that Russian-aligned forces at Debaltseve ignored the ceasefire that was agreed in Minsk II

In fairness though it was only a temp ban, and they've never removed anything else I've said (even in that specific thread)

You should have a big bad luck or they got some mods. The number of straight racism towards asians and south Americans I saw in World news made me literally block the community months ago. It was exactly the same as the reddit counterpart.

What was the post?

No, but thanks for the heads up. Lemm.ee seems to be good about that, or I would've ruffled every feather in the book almost.

Go ahead and try to say anything against Islam there and same result.

The Chinese government is downrite evil. I don't understand what mistakes needed to be made to allow a cartoon villain level of tyrannical human rights violating government to be put in place, and still exist.

well the souuth china sea is chinese so they might have mistaken you for a troll

lol

Nope. But I’m banned from climate for not liking that little climate girl.

The Thread you posted to was https://apnews.com/article/malaysia-china-australia-anwar-ibrahim-b4d75a8423b5265bec1a05d69231965f

and you dismissed all the other guys in the thread posting nuance with this vibes-based comment:

Based on what china is doing to fishing and military boats from the Philippines, I doubt they're just after 'transit'. They're making a territorial claim. Not much different from Russia's claim on Ukraine, except that its happening in international waters.

Your account is 4 days old. No one cares what color yankee you are mate.

take the L, read more, and maybe don't only believe western narrative, and you'll do just fine. Youll even learn something.

I reccommend you stick around and read things that challenge your worldview. you dont have to believe everything you read, but you should always critically analyze yourself and your position, just in case.

If you got banned there, that's a good thing. China's not perfect. But its "criticism", is just a retranslation of agressive american propaganda and western chauvinism. All to brainwash the western people into imperialist warfare. It literally serves the US warmongers. We can see this even by the crazy comments here full of hate and demonization of Сhina born solely of the fact that the American ruling class feels threatened by China and is invested in vilifying it.. It's extremely annoying and it's fascism. I don't want this place to turn into a liberal shithole like reddit with "ChiNa BaD" circlejerk. I don't want this place to be filled with bots and idiots who are duped by them, and moderators deliberately promoting fake anti-China news like on reddit. Or censoring any information about China than contradicts the aggressive american narrative like on reddit. So, yea. If I were ml mod, I'd do the same thing.
