But your logic supports .world defederating .ml so that when a user is ready to "leave the kiddie pool" they do so by moving to a wider instance, like .zip

Everyone needs a taste of anti-imperialist and non-Western takes, either for their sanity or just for their ideological development. I know Americans are gonna need them since the empire is coming home with full force, for instance. Without them, without 'radicals' like those in .ml, the folks will just be fed a new narrative to curtail their cognitive dissonance (it's the most imperceptible of buzzes for the least cerebral among us but it's still there) and they'll eat it up because that's all they're exposed to. So, no, they should be connected, for the sake of exposure. It's important too for those more .ml-coded to read, post and quickly check the downvote/upvote ratio in .world just like it was/is on big subreddits to get a feel of what the average literate Westerner, who at least considers discussion important (better than your average American, for instance), is thinking/has been fed recently.

Lemmy.ml is not anti-imperialist. They remove anything critical of China and Russia, both imperialist states.

Instances that are actually anti-imperalism in that they criticise both Western and Russian/Chinese etc imperialism might be lemmy.dbzer0.com or slrpnk.net.

lemmy.ml is arguably one of the most imperialist instances especially in terms of censorship.

I am banned there so you might be right about the censorship. ๐Ÿคท

Average 'ML users aren't that bad' post defending blatant propagandists.

No we're not talking 'socialism is actually good and here's why' posts, we're talking posts like 'China, the ethnostate, is a bastion of tolerance compared to a place like the U.S.'.

Fuck no to everything you've said supporting federation with .ml . The people on the platform deserve their fate if they can't see through the bullshit, I feel no differently about MAGA.

[โ€“] cm0002@lemmy.cafe 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Lol, Tankies just simp for authoritarian regimes like Russia and NK that claim to be communistic.

If you want to pull people to your political side, then you can do so without relying on misinformation and conspiracy theories. Which is unfortunately not what the admins of .ml have chosen to do.

[โ€“] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com -1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think they are saying it's important that ML people see more nuanced takes. Though without a coherent paragraph structure it's difficult to tell.

[โ€“] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

The entire fucking issue is that the tankies ban nuanced takes at the drop of a hat.

[โ€“] Maalus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're not here to see "more nuanced takes" nor they care about them. They are here to brigade posts, spread propaganda and make any discussion a pain. You can't even imagine how often tankies tried to tell me the history of my country is fake and they know the ultimate truth about it all, way better than the people who actually lived that history.

[โ€“] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com -1 points 1 day ago

I'm not agreeing with them. I'm just trying to do a translation

Silly comes in different shapes, but the imperial narrative will almost always be untrue and always serve immoral interests!

[โ€“] Semester3383@lemmy.world -5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

By that 'logic' everyone needs a taste of white supremacy, Christian nationalism, Nazis, and so on.

Certain opinions aren't worth giving any consideration to because they're so stupidly, pig-headedly wrong. The street corner preacher frothing at the mouth over LGBTQ people is one, .ml and the former hexbear (world's smallest violin plays a sad song for their passing) instances being prime examples.

Did you just compare anti-imperialist 'content' to pro-Nazi stuff? Anyway, no, it's unethical to be pro-Western imperialism, right is evidently different from wrong, and I agree that not every uttering deserves ears but trust me that every person that's been simmering in pro-war, anti-non white lives (whether it be anti-communist or islamophobic stuff, it just serves to alienate your fellow human being) propaganda since before they came out of the womb only know the wrong side of things and need to at least see some memes and be triggered into self-examination!
