If any salty Nazi cheerleaders want to complain that this isn’t a news source, you’re wrong. This is an active military correspondent’s blog giving a timeline for events which are not debatable. Better luck next time.
… which has 4 upvotes and 1 downvote.
I would bet money that one or two of the upvotes on it are from the .ml moderation/admin team.

How many monis you gib?
I gib 0
100% are from .ml, Hexbear, or Lemmygrad.
I got curious about one Hexbear user, and looked at their profile, and I learned that no one can name any specific human rights abuses China has ever done, and also nobody “here” talks about Israel’s human rights abuses.

Those are the most likely instances to believe in conspiracy theories. Spent a few minutes confirming as much via upvote tallies. I didn’t realize how badly lopsided it was, until now.
Yeah. And, also, it is clear when you look at votes that they make organized efforts to “brigade” threads sometimes, all come in and vote to influence the totals, which is something that they constantly accuse others of doing whenever their unpopular views get noticed
and dogpiled on.
ArxCyberwolfEvery accusations is a confession. Tankies really are like their conservative brethren.
Authoritarians gonna authoritarian
I don’t mean to make much out of little, especially when there are real-world enemies that are endangering us all that we could be focusing on. But it is interesting to me how little regard most of the Lemmy communists have, for anyone’s right to exist in their space who expresses any kind of dissent or disagreement, and how unapologetic they are about wielding power without regard for anyone except their own faction.
