On Reddit too. You’ll see alot more of it everywhere as the US hands over global dominance to China and their soft power increases, until it presumably becomes as ubiquitous as american propaganda and you don’t notice it anymore
So, lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, and a few other Lemmy instances have a reputation as being “tankie” (aka, aligned with overseas communist or former-communist powers). Their users will effectively attack any western viewpoint (e.g Gaza genocide) but remain completely silent on any topic related to Russia or China (e.g Uigihur genocide). They argue in bad faith and exist as a propaganda tool only.
Is the creator of lemmy one of them? I saw the username for lemmy’s creator in wiki and on the same day, bizarrely enough, he replied to my comment while defending north Korea of all places.
Yeah. Dessalines is a lemmy dev and an admin of lemmy.ml (which is effectively the dev’s official instance). And he has some very questionable views on Russia/China and censorship in general.
Edit: I ask because I just scroll through lemmy without actually knowing which instance is showing which content. I’ve heard the same sentiments voiced about lemmy.ml but never really looked into it.
A big thing that’s been weighing on my mind recently has been the impending threat of climate change. Who is actually going to be able to step up and potentially prevent our extinction as a species? It’s definitely not America. Europe has too many incoming threats to be able to focus on the climate crisis. In terms of world powers, it sure seems like the PRC is the only chance humanity will have, as long as we can convince them to care.
I don’t like that, but I don’t see another option. I guess if our options are extinction as a species or the Chinese model, I’ll choose the Chinese model.
I’ve noticed an uptik of pro Chinese propaganda content here on lemmy in recent days. I am afraid the fediverse had been discovered.

Your instance must not be federated with lemmy.ml or lemmygrad, and it shows.

Any chance you could link to some examples?
