TIL lemmy.ml is a pro-authoritarian CCP shill instance - Lemmy NSFW

For all the newcomers that aren’t aware, I just stumbled upon this insane drama. Apparently lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] is the result of a reddit sub ban of a bunch of pro-china bots who vigorously defend the Chinese government, and the two top admins are also the top devs of the Lemmy source software. Pretty terrible stuff! The linked thread is full of their insane ramblings and denialism.

Yep. Some of the mods that mod 5+ communities are openly calling NATO fascist.

There’s a lot of pro-china sentiment where users encourage people moving to china, denying Tianmen Square events, and encourage full annexation of Taiwan.

It’s just lemmingrad 2.0

I block every .ml instance on sight, as they’re laced with tankie propaganda/agenda.

I’m new here, how do you block stuff from a specific instance?

Depending on what app you are using. I can select a post that comes from a community on an instance, and I can pick to either block the OP or the Community.

You can’t, which is why they said “block any community”.
