Does lemmy.world allow criticism of the CCP? (lemmy.world)

Apparently there's an issue with some instances banning users for criticizing authoritarian governments. Is lemmy.world a safe place to criticize governments?

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.

you're thinking of hexbear.net, formerly chapo.chat

lemmy.ml is simply the instance run by the lemmy developers, who explicitly have no desire to be the largest or default instance. They are communists, but it is not an explicitly communist instance, and it predates the banning of r/chapotraphouse

ohh, does the .ml stand for Marxist-Leninist? I always wondered why they chose th at domain name

[–] andrew@radiation.party 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably not, .ml is free (provided by the same registrar as .tk) on a year-by-year basis and was much more popular around the time lemmy started.

could also be Markup Language

at best a happy accident
