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?

    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.

    Anarchist based instances are definitely one of the better options. You'll still find ML there. Even running some communities. But easier to avoid over all. Less likely to have immature micromanaging admins as well as auth propaganda.

    Though really, just find about any other instance that federates with the servers the communities important to you are on. And you should be good.

    ML stands for Marxist-Leninist, that's more or less the Tell. They're not merely socialist, but authoritarian. Like MAGA, they treat dissent as hostile.

    "Authoritarian" in this case meaning what, exactly? That the states set up by Marxist-Leninists have lasted for longer than a few years, and built up the necessary state structures to protect the gains of socialism?

    It's always funny to watch tankies try to justify their boot licking. You're not fooling anyone, bud.

    How exactly am I boot-licking? How am I trying to "fool" anyone?

    Maybe the part where you defend authoritarian actions (like hostility against dissidents) as simply "necessary state structures to protect the gains of socialism"?

    Executing or otherwise punishing capitalists guilty of subversion and corruption, such as Bai Tianhui, is a good thing. "Dissidents" aren't virtuous by "dissenting," it's important to know what dissent means in practice and what they are dissenting against.
