Oh well, I guess I should not have claimed that you chose to like ProleWiki more because you just like it. Now, how about I explain why I don't trust ProleWiki on "Authoritarianism" because of its bias?

If you look at ProleWiki's main page, it literally says that it is a communist (Marxist-Leninist) project. It leans towards Marxism-Leninism, which IMO makes its defense of those Marxist-Leninist socialist states heavily biased and unreliable.

I don't get why some think that the US or Ukraine started the war. They did not. Russia started it. Why would any country attack another country 28 times its size?

They do. See https://lemmygrad.ml and see how almost every post has some downvotes. IMO this does make the posting culture there better.

Heck I think Lemmygrad is more tolerable than Hexbear, by a lot.

Sh.itjust.works has already defederated from Hexbear? That quick? No announcement whatsoever?

Btw, lemm.ee is federated with Hexbear.

Careful calling those regimes authoritarian. Hexbears like to attack this point by assigning a slightly different definition to authoritarian and then either (a) claim that all governments are "authoritarian" or (b) blame liberals for using this word to demonize socialist states. I once saw someone cite https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Authoritarianism to "prove" that those states are not authoritarian.

I did not say that it was Hexbear downvoting us.

Yeah, the Chinese government is totally very democratic and is receptive to the criticism of its citizens! They never censor words and topics they don't like on their social media platforms!

Gee I just looked up that @MomoTimeToDie@sh.itjust.works, and apparently he has 9 posts on !conservative@sh.itjust.works, with the highest scoring post having a score of -14. (Yes, negative fourteen.) There are only 10 posts in total on that community. Wow.
