Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse

I've gotten banned and censored from communities there for saying that Ukraine should fight back against Russia.

[maeve@kbin.earth]

That's a US military intervention.

Your instance is the lead actor on that one

[sundray@lemmus.org]

I can 2nd lemmus.org, it's pretty chill over here. The admin has blocked the creation of new communities for the time being however, so if you want to start a new comm you're better off looking elsewhere.

[realitista@lemmus.org]

Yeah I look to bigger instances to host communities I create and smaller ones to host my account for speed.

[franconian_nomad@feddit.org]

There are apologists of genocide in this communities? Where?

[maeve@kbin.earth]

The creator is a Zionist. Eta: as well as the most prolific contributors.

Piefed was created by the CIA, NSA, and Kissinger's ghost.

You can tell in the name.

Good hint, but there needs to be an online registry of them where you can subscribe to them and get updates automatically when they change. This is how Bluesky works and it works very well.

There are a lot of people supportive of the PRC, both because the US Empire is declining and the PRC is positioned as an alternative to the US Empire's naked terrorism, and because Lemmy has a lot of communists. Lemmy has a lot of communists because the lead developers are communists, FOSS attracts communists, and because as Reddit bans communist communities they are often suggested to come here.

There's absolutely no credible evidence of CPC interference in Lemmy, this is a normal thing to happen to a FOSS alternative to Reddit.

Where truth isn’t censored

Self-hosting seems your only option then. You might be cut off from other instances if they decide to defederate, but at least on your instance you'll be able to enjoy free speech (and block unwanted speech).

You know, without proof that sounds very much like a whataboutism…

[alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

You could have just said "rabidly anti-tankie people" LMAO

[alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

If you know anything about Goat and PugJesus...

[alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

ahem

Well you can listen to all the Hitlerites from axiss.world if you like. Or actually interact with politically literate people on .ml

[maeve@kbin.earth]

Since we're name-dropping. Phillipthebucket

[maeve@kbin.earth]

Heavily propagandized people by the governments that brought Operation Paperclip and Victims of Communism memorials that never happened because oops, all Nazis.

[maeve@kbin.earth]

And Russia

There is less propaganda talking point that you think that can be debunked in 5 minutes. The same propaganda talking repeated points so they become so easy to recognize. You don't need to know the whole history of Russia and Ukraine to know that Russian invasion is illegal, you don't need to know too much of the history of China or Taiwan to know that China has no right to take Taiwan, you don't need too much details to know that Israel is the settler colonial power and that settler colonialism is never justified . Visiting regularly the modlog it is pretty clear to me that mods of big communities do not intent to fight propaganda at all . One can't expect all propagandist comments and posts to be removed but can expect some to be removed when they are reported
