If you’d ever expressed an opinion about the Russian or Chinese governments that isn’t abject praise, you would know why we’re shitting on .ml instances
Actually, the opinion I see most often on .ml is that modern day Russia sucks, and is bad because they’ve turned into a capitalist warmongering empire similar to the US. People are pretty mixed on China, but legit if you just look at the technological advances coming out of China - just verified stuff that’s been scientifically proven and then deployed - it’s pretty impressive, especially surrounding batteries. So, if you’re suspicious of China then any good news about China will come off as a conspiracy, but in reality things are pretty mixed and there’s a lot of good and bad about nations, and no one state is all good or all bad. Anyone reducing the complexity of geopolitics down to one nation = good / other nation = bad is either dumb, trolling, not speaking in good faith, indoctrinated or just repeating propaganda.
Oh so it’s not about marxist ideology itself? It’s about fake leftists who support authoritarian dictatorships and call themselves progressives despite the two being incompatible.
If you’re down voting me it might help to explain why. I was asking from a neutral perspective. I don’t think anyone gains from dismissing a genuine question.
There are far more than a “few idiots” and worst of all, they’re admins and mods and quite frankly, just overly toxic to newcomers. They’re a bad look for Lemmy overall.
Why are we shitting on .ml instances? Sure there’s a few idiots who use them but they’re the vocal minority.

Acknowledging that the CCP censors people is part of what got me banned lmao
I’ve never been suspicious about the technological advancements coming from China, it’s really just the censorship and oppression that I’ve criticized

Most of the idiots are running the instance.

The intolerance of .world basically.
My meme is calling for growth of non lemmy.ml communities on any instance. I could not give a fuck about .world specifically.
How are they intolerant? .world has been very welcoming in my experience.
