Edit: Btw, those Chinese students aren’t necessary “brainwashed”.
Valid, and perhaps the “brainwashed” statement was an unfair one, though in at least a couple cases, the emotion behind the words felt very genuine. On the flip side, there was at least one standout conversation with a particular student where the opposite was true, so perhaps each case deserves more nuance than the blanket statement of “they’re brainwashed.”
EDIT: That ban is actually beautiful, btw. The hate the “regulars” perpetuate while going untouched versus bans on comments like this speaks far louder about the belief structure of the mods than any back and fourth with them could.
Lmao
Try this:
Criticizing the US, Russia, Israel, and Hamas all in one go, gets banned anyways.

There’s a chinese idiom called: 隔墙有耳 (Literally meaning: There’s an ear on the other side of the wall)
They know everyone is watching and listening, so they don’t feel safe speaking what they actually believe, especially not in public.
People criticize the government all the time, behind close doors with people you know.
Getting banned from .ml is a badge of honor!
Don’t even feel bad
That EXE crash error was really coming from the mod lmao
You were supposed to only criticize the US and Russia, you homophobe!

We really should defederate from this shit
Yes, until then we can each do small things like
Crosspost actual decent content in a .ml comm to a non-.ml comm (a perfect opportunity to grow smaller comms)
Call out their BS whenever you see it on other instances
Screenshot their Tankie propaganda and post it here
Advise newcomers
Make memes about it
Downvote any .ml community post you come across and then see 1st point
.world has already defed’d 2 of the 3 of the Tankie Triad, but I’ve been seeing a lot of “sticking heads in the sand”
infosec.pub
defederates the big 3 (lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, lemmy.ml)
You can always choose an instance that does, or block the instance in your settings.
I have no idea why it’s taking so long.
