When we have a critical mass of people, we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics in an organic way.

    If you’re asking in good faith… Most of lemmy.ml is a tankie echo chamber that silences or outright bans any dissenting discussion.

    Try bringing up the facts surrounding Russia, China, Cuba, or North Korea…

    Only lies and good vibes for tankies are permitted.

      Thanks, I honestly didn’t know! I’ve only really adopted Lemmy for almost daily use a few weeks back and mostly read tech related stuff and it’s been blissfully apolitical for the most part. Some of it is on .ml - I now understand the issue and will look out for it/support communities on other instances where possible.
