Does lemmy.world allow criticism of the CCP?

Well let’s find out: Free Ukraine! Fuck Russia. Fuck China!

i mean lemmy.world server is in germany, but the guy who runs it is dutch so probably has a pretty open policy with freedom of speech i would imagine. And i mean real freedom of speech not the dog whistle for being a dick/racist/phobe

All governments should be able to be criticized if we're going to be honest about having genuinely open discussions.

Let's find out.

Fuck the CCP.

Hey there. This instance currently follows the code of conduct and rules for mastodon.world: https://mastodon.world/about

Discussion and civil criticism of these subjects is allowed, but name calling, ad hominem attacks, and other uncivil behaviour breaks the rules.

Also remember that specific communities here may have additional rules.

It looks like we can't pin comments yet, so apologies if this reply gets buried. For now I'm going to lock this post, as the discussion has degraded and is full of rule-breaking.

Let’s see. Here’s Tank Man.

Haven’t had any problems so far! Taiwan numbah one! Fuck Putin!

Lemmy.World and Lemmy. Ml are two different places. Lemmy ML was created as a safehaven for people from subreddits that were banned like ChapoTrapHouse. Lemmy. World is designed to be the general Lemmy Community. Lemmy. Ml was the biggest until the reddit issues but I am pretty sure Lemmy World is after overtaking them. Lemmy.ML is trying to steer traffic here because they know that their community wasn't going to be palatable to the vast majority of people. There's a wide variety here so it's very hard to pinpoint where this place's userbase stands politically.

Lemmy. ML and Lemmy.world are different places and it's for the best if we just leave each be and have our own communities in peace.

If you check out the instance sidebar, we're basically running on the same rules as mastodon.world (presumably until such time as we need something more Lemmy-specific)

It's difficult for people to have discussions on the internet that involve disagreement without it becoming uncivilized. I don't think being critical of the CCP is a particularly divisive viewpoint everywhere outside of China. I can't imagine the conversation devolving to such a state that it has to be completely banned from being discussed.

I like China :)

You can actually use https://lemmymap.feddit.de/ to get an idea of how free a particular lemmy instance is thanks to the option to show blocks. Lemmy.world seems to be the only large instance that has not been blocked by or blocked any other instances

Slightly tangential question, is lemmy.ml a Marxist/Leninist instance? I had seen some users insinuate that but I have no fucking clue if they were just saying shit.

I don't know of any as long as it is in the correct community.

Yes it does and is

CCP makes ice cream right?

banning users for criticizing authoritarian governments

Please stop trying to smear other instances and their operators with these lies, leave the behavior that contributed to ruining Reddit there or just go back if you insist on doing it.

They were banned for orientalism which breaks rule 1 of the instance as explained here, there's plenty of criticism of China on lemmy.ml that you can find on c/politics and c/worldnews

Keep it in the politics subs.

But I hope there is less censorship, it was a shame that lemmy.ml removed this well-sourced comment (and banned the user) -
