I just realised, I can't post anything on lemmy.ml

So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there's a new moderator.

All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned

As soon as the tankie stuff started coming out, I figured this was the inevitable result

Do you just call everything you don't like "tankie"? Like every post in this thread is you calling everything else "tankie." I don't think you have a good grip on what the word means.

He's not though. Look at his post history. Use your brain.

I'll leave the sad post history stalking to you, seems you've been doing a lot here

Dude Dessalines has essays on his github where he thinks gulags were a good thing and that the holodomor was fake.

The creator kept a low profile during the reddit emigration. And since there were posts and comments about China, CCP and Jinping too. I thought it will be fine 👀

He brought in Hexbear in an attempt to silence the criticism towards China, but they quickly defederated themselves--So now I suppose he's just banning things outright.
