For all the newcomers that aren’t aware, I just stumbled upon this insane drama. Apparently lemmy.ml is the result of a reddit sub ban of a bunch of pro-china bots who vigorously defend the Chinese government, and the two top admins are also the top devs of the Lemmy source software. Pretty terrible stuff!
The linked thread is full of their insane ramblings and denialism
Edit: I seem to have been blocked from commenting, all my replies are timing out now. But I wanted to say that I don’t intend to make this post as an “anti-lemmy” thing, I think the truth should burn brightly in the sunlight. We should try to continue to grow Lemmy (especially since we’re the largest reddit clone) while calling out their propaganda and hidden motive.
Edit2: turns out I can comment, I just can’t reply to kbin user comments from my instance. Just spins indefinitely.
Did any of those sites ban people for criticizing the United States?
hahahahahaha you know they sell your data and fb has given information that lead to people being arrested for absolutely goofy shit like drug possession and abortions
so no they didnt do that, they do something worse
Eh, worse really, they give that data to cops
