Probably the easiest boycott you could do, let's do it Lemmy!
Probably the easiest boycott you could do, let's do it Lemmy!
I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.
You're viewing a single thread.
Hello. Can I please make my internet experience both echoier and chamberier than it already is because it makes me sad when I encounter someone online who has different thoughts to me.
Like .ml admins cracking down on people suggesting that Mao's "Great Leap Forward" was catastrophe because it forced a political will ignorant of economic reality on a society violently robbed of the ability to resist, even terrorised into meeting their quotas at any cost? Or the fact that purging and suppressing all dissidents in the first place was cruel and authoritarian, a brutal abuse of power of the same kind as Stalin's and (in this one aspect, at least) Hitler's?
I'm a leftist to the bone, I recognise that a revolution without bloodshed wouldn't have been possible at the time (and maybe never will be) and that a hard hand forcing fundamental changes to the political and educational system may well be required, but .ml has a well-known Tankie problem and they're all too eager to follow in the steps of the boots they so love to lick.
Sure, just spend all your time on lemmy.ml and that's exactly what you'll get.
Every community is an echo chamber except for mine!
Have you actually been to lemmy.ml? They enforce vague rules to maintain their echo chamber
Notably, no comments have been removed from this thread for either supporting or decrying the CCP
wtf are you talking about. ive been banned from many .world communities for supporting china.
I agree that power zealous mods are shit, but it's also poor when well written comments, made in good faith, are heavily downvoted for no other reason than not conforming to the consensus of the hive mind.
We should be encouraging discussion, not discouraging wrong think.
Good point, that's why they ban you on their instance when you write a counter argument.
That's another reason of becoming independent.
i dont watch shows i know i wont like on netflix. guess im in a echo chamber there too.
apt comparison. netflix slop and political discourse to save ourselves. very similar and comparable things.
I too would prefer an Internet flooded with
different thoughtsbad faith trolls.everyone i dont like is a troll!
