I have no stake in this argument (centralization on both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world is detrimental in my opinion), but I found it kind of ironic.
Not sure if this is the best place to post it, but didn't know of any "neutral" fediverse communities, so I guess this one works.

Sorry mate, I'm with @[email protected] on this. There's no benefit in platforming misinformation.
It's fine!
I really see where they come from, and why they prefer a strong moderation on this kind of topics. I guess it starts to get blurry once you have to define what is misinformation. Historical accuracy is hard to achieve (this is why I still go to /r/AskHistorians, and I linked a few threads in the other comments).
I saw some time ago a graph showing how the perception of the USSR changed a lot in Europe during the Cold War compared to just after WW2.
The following statements might be all true at the same time
- USSR committed imperialist massacres
- USA committed imperialist massacres
- most of the Western European nations committed imperialist massacres
Sometimes I'm wondering if those three statements can be compiled in a single comment and not instantly start a comment war with everyone trying to push their own agenda, and mods having to interfere following their own views.
"Mao and Stalin did nothing wrong and if they did, the undesirables deserved it.
The West is a disgusting generacy oppressing the working people"

nb4 someone says "both sides"
The following statements might be all true at the same time
- USSR committed imperialist massacres
- USA committed imperialist massacres
- most of the Western European nations committed imperialist massacres
No one's refuting that 'both sides' logic. But if
- I took a beer from the 2-4 in your garage
- Pierre took a beer from the 2-4 in your garage
- Ivan took 22 beers from the 2-4 in your garage
Then we're all bad house guests, but Ivan's a complete asshole.
Worth thinking about what all these have in common, no? (Hint: they are all nation states).
Nahh fuck you... My nation state is better and strong! It will kick your nation state's ass!
My nation state never did nothing mate!!!
