.ml is considered 'Tankie'?? First I've heard of this, and I've yet to see anything that would give any kind of credence to that claim. How weird...

While lemmy.ml isn't explicitly tankie like lemmygrad.ml or hexbear.chat, the fact that it's the instance run by the two OG Lemmy devs (who, along with most of the instance's admins, are Marxist Leninists) means you tend to get tankie friendly moderation. Most infamously, sinophobia is cracked down on, so shitlibs can't just go hog wild with stuff like Tinyman Square and "West Taiwan" and such.

.world considers .ml tankie and .world is not a neutral instance unless you never mention palestine. So it's a lot like reddit.

This helps to know, thank you. Will probably migrate then as I’d like to not be associated with genocide.

Remember, this is .world saying it.

OP, your answer is in this thread

As I said, I don’t personally agree with it. That’s why it’s in quotes.

No, I understand that. I was just commenting on how weird it is that some people would take that position when there's no evidence that I can see that it's actually true. No worries, my friend! :)
