and it’s substantially better. Far less laggy. Lemmy.ml is literally unusable anymore. Thanks for making this instance so awesome!

          What I really cannot get my head around is that they seem to put 2023 China and Russia on that list. Russia is a straight up Christo-fascist state, it’s as far as is possible to go from a communist state. But I guess they’re in it for the authoritarianism rather than for the political ideology.

            Because Tankies are no better than conservative reactionaries - they don’t have any real ideology besides being against whatever the West supports.

            We don’t support Russia and China for moral reasons, we don’t even believe that Russia is communist. What you’re talking about is critical support, and it’s not us saying “yeah man let’s go die for a Russian oligarch.” What we support is resistance against US & NATO imperialism, which is where Russia and China position themselves. It is not a moral judgement. They (Russia & China) are essentially the last main powers capable of fending off US & NATO expansionism, if they fail to create a truly multi-polar political climate then we will see the most bleak future of capitalism.

            We recognize that the war between Russia and Ukraine does not serve the interests of the working class. We recognize it as a proxy war between NATO and Russia.

            If you’re going to critique our viewpoints please do it in good faith.

          So I’m confused. Some Lemmy.ml users are upset because of what? That the Lemmy software is written by people in China? Or that the Lemmy.ml mods are pro-China? Or what? Is this a topic for the explainlikeimfive sublem (community)?

            Lemmy.ml is the main lemmy instance, run by the lemmy developers. Lemmy developers happen to also be tankies, who deny genocides/atrocities committed by communist states and support authoritarian communism.
