      They’ll ban you for acknowledging the existence of the Uyghur genocide, for one

      Edit: wording

        Or calling out russian and chinese talking points. And then they have the same 10 users popping up whenever the instances are criticized saying “akshally privacy and no tanks…” (see above)

            I do know they like to follow me…

            Eta: its funny how often the threads they brigade start off with the common shill thoughts getting downvoted and actual leftist thought upvoted only for it to shift as the threads pick up steam. Im not convinced its possible to win this fight, if im honest.

            Also, note the sheer absurd amount of comments in this thread for something with (atm) 338 points. They always do this and act like its not happening.

              I mean. I block all the ones brave enough to actually post something. So up and downvoting is the only noticable way left they impact me. I consider that a win as it allows me to enjoy lemmy a whole lot more

        Maybe because no human rights organizations, nor the United Nations have labeled it a genocide. Human rights violations, yes. Crimes against humanity, yes. Genocide, no.

      Merely using the word Tankie has gotten me bigotry ruled recently. .ml is infected with Tankies regardless of what other people use it for.

      Edit: Oooh, the Tankie Brigade are here
