So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy’s version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?

The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml

    thanks for the heads up. I just unjoined all lemmy.ml communities, and blocked the instance. That sort of censorship is not a good thing.

      Some of them came here from Reddit when chapo trap house got banned. Others are straight up BRICS propaganda accounts.

        Ok what even the hell is BRICS at this point? It’s geopolitical “stop trying to make Fetch happen!” by now, two of it’s members are in active decline, one is at the edge of being a failed state, and the other two are about as actually committed to some kind of anti-western bloc as the average American prison is to respecting human rights.

          Yep. It’s a joke. Was always going to be a joke. Maybe without authoritarian assholes leading the two largest members it could have become something.
