Everyone know those rules don't apply to the instances with opinions outside of the US state department's approved overton window.

Wonder if our media that is largely Republican controlled and owned by Western billionaires could maybe have some anti-CCP bias. No, surely not, our newspaper only tell the truth
, China bad always and the West is infallibly morally correct.I've met people in reality who feel the same way as you, and I wanted to ask you something:
Wonder if our media that is largely Republican controlled and owned by Western billionaires could maybe have some anti-CCP bias
Why does that mean that China is good? Like I understand that specific things western media says could be wrong, but we have a hell of a lot of proof about what they've done. So what I don't get is, sure media is owned by billionaires and corrupt, but why does that mean that the exact opposite is what's true? Stalin/Nazi Germany and Hitler/Germany hated each other, constantly lied about each other, but that never meant that either of them were 'good.' So why does it apply here?

Looks at the lemmy devs on GitHub
All them use lemmy.mllemmy.world in shambles

You're tripping if you don't think our media has a sinophobic spin on it.
It does, but you're really tripping if you don't think the CCP commits egregious human rights abuses.
-
Okay, what about Mao?
Mao is a Maoist, and the CCP claim to be 'the sole heir and successor to Joseph Stalin concerning the correct interpretation of Marxism–Leninism and the ideological leader of world communism,' and I think (hope?) we can agree that Stalinism is not communism.

It's lemmy, I honestly don't really care what some random guy calls me.

I mean, before Methler's Operation Barbarossa, they were happily dividing the world up between themselves.

Beehaw is like the Elks Lodge of the Lemmyverse. From the outside they look exclusive, mysterious, and enticing. Inside, there's just a few drunk guys singing karaoke.
At least that's my assumption. They wouldn't let me in because I refused to write a paragraph about why I wanted to join an instance that I knew virtually nothing about. Even the Elks Lodge wasn't that picky.

If you want nothing farther left than drumpf memes, and also like being a little bit bigoted towards Muslims, then Lemmy.world is gonna be a nice cozy home for you.

It's pretty insane that choosing the default instance is seen as being indicative of your politics
-
Most conservative is just random Lemmy users finding it.
And no. Lemmy is a itty bitty part of the world. Why would I think it's a world-wide leftist conspiracy?

It's 2025, everyone is both doing genocide and is denying genocide all of the time. Unfortunately that word no longer has any meaning.

It does have a definition though and there is still power in that.

I posted my boobs & some people were friendly to me. It’s nice here! Surprisingly wholesome.

Yes everyone is aware of this power so are using the word as a propaganda tool to further their causes. And everyone is aware that the word is being used as a propaganda tool.
The scary part is that by watering down the meaning of the word, it's made actual genocide more likely. If everyone is constantly being accused of genocide all of the time then no one will know when an actual genocide is happening.

“An instance on .ml” you mean a community? Or you mean another domain name using the .ml top level domain? If it’s the latter, you probably mean lemmygrad.ml. If it’s the former, there are already quite a few communities on there which have a lot of subscribers and often appear in the “all” feed. Normally those are fine. But every now and then you’ll see some tankie comment and like 99% of the time it’s some user from that instance.

The only person watering down the word here is you?
