    What do you recommend instead? I sign up on another instance? Which one?

    Maybe db0? At least based off what you're after in your comments.

    Of course there's also the more regional instances, such as feddit.uk, lemmy.ca, etc.

        What you’re describing is false moral equivalence used as a deflective propaganda strategy.

        What you described is a state enemy used to deflect attention from the many enemies within this state.

          Not dominated by Chinese, Russian nor Western state actors. That's all I'm asking for. Where truth isn't censored.

            You can safely assume that anything on .ml or lemmygrad is. Just don't subscribe to them. I can give you a block list that encompasses most of the ones who don't stay nicely in .ml land. We should have shareable block lists like BlueSky to get new users up and running quickly. I hope that PieFed eventually does some stuff like this.

              Yes Lemmy.ml is the most popular of the tankie instances. They will ban you, remove your posts, etc in most major communities if you say anything negative about CCCP, Russia, Communism, etc.

              I can recommend lemmus.org as a very fast and efficient instance. Remember, you don't have to have an account on the instance who's communities you want to access. You can access communities on all instances from any instance. So the policies of your home instance don't really affect you much. They only affect the communities hosted there.

                  Lemmy was created by Chinese state actors, so no surprise there.

                    Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?

                    The lemmy developers are tankies and three big lemmy servers are entirely controlled by them, namely hexbear, lemmigrad and Lemmy.ml. You will find plenty of China, North Korea and for some kind of reason Russian propaganda on them.

                        It's widely-know. Just have to look at the post history of the creators. Particularly Desalines or whatever.

                                          You can export your settings, remove everything unrelated to blocks, and share it. Then other users can import the json file and it will be added to their existing blocklist.
