Someone give me a long list of communities to join and which ones to avoid. I don’t wanna be near the tankies. Thank you!

    Hexbear was worse, very pro China/Russia/North Korea, but I think they didn’t renew their domain license, so the server went down. Lemmygrad is the same way, I think it’s still active. .ml I didn’t think is too bad, just block yogthos or whether their name is.

      I’ve found it easier to block ML communities. A lot of the people on ML aren’t that bad, but you WILL get banned from the entirety of ML for any criticism of russia china and north korea. The mods really aren’t scared to abuse their power. I’d rather not participate.

        Not when I tried to talk when them a year ago. So much shilling for authoritarianism.

          any support I’ve seen has been critical, lib instances often straight up uncritically support US empire and call that anti-authoritarianism

            We’re not taking about the US, we’re talking about China Russia and North Korea. When I asked why Russia was justified in invading Ukraine, I got dozens of people arguing with me that it was good actually. If you agree with them, then I don’t really have much more to talk with you about, you’re just wrong.

              From checking the modlog you got banned like two years ago because you couldn’t stop saying slurs and insulting people. Additionally you clearly support the israeli occupation under the banner of being ‘anti-authoritarian’, the sentiment is mutual.

                I don’t support Israel in Gaza, what gave you that impression? Anyway, do you think Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was justified?

                    And you got from that that I support Israel in their genocide?!? Both sides can be terrible and have gross humanitarian and moral issues.

                I think they consider tankie a slur, so that’s probably it. I didn’t see the mod logs, so thanks for looking it up.

                  It was you calling people crazy as an insult, which is ableism that they ban for.
