It was a "alternatives to American apps/sites" on Reddit that got me here

just a heads up, the instance you're on is pretty controversial.

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Controversial? How come? I’m new to the Fediverse so I’d love to learn as much as I can. 🙂

Lemmy.ml is very pro Russia/pro communism

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Oh that sucks. Thanks for letting me know!

I explained a bit here: https://lemm.ee/post/58018253/18825295

But I'll go into more detail : )

lemmy.ml is the instance run by the lemmy developers, who are tankies. Tankies are people who support authoritarian regeims such as the soviet union, or north korea.

As such, they sometimes remove anti-china or pro-ukraine posts/comments.

They also sometimes bridgade threads.

As an example, check !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
