I don't think they are that dogmatic too.
Like, they seem to support China lead by a Socialist/Communist/Marxist political leadership, that declares its aim as transitioning into socialism by 2050 or so.
They often leave a dogmatic impression when someone says something which is completely normal to hear and say in (for example) the USA, but is unknowingly bigoted or ignorant misinformation. The .ml admins have no time for that and I think its unfortunate that there's little attempt at linking them to resourced that explain why their post was prejudiced, because it's usually not intentional or heartless.
One can absolutely critisise China there and you'll probably end up banned if you aren't critical of the Russian Federation. I've made posts on Lemmygrad challenging their notion of China's form of worker democracy. But certain popular critiques are just bigoted or unfounded propaganda which the admins will ban people for, so it comes off as just shutting down opposing viewpoints. And that's really unfortunate.
Aah.
Is there something like the automod feature in reddit?
That would be solution to common misconceptions, right?
Good idea. I have seen some instances using mod-privileged bots for automating some tasks, like making weekly posts in communities, but I don't think I've seen an auto-moderation bot yet.
I personally think having pre-filled ban reasons is a great moderation tool which would be useful for Lemmy.
