When instances become instruments of propaganda for Putin/Xi/Kim and ban people who expose such propaganda, they fully deserve to be blocked. They've become instruments of the enemies of civil society.

It's the moderation practices of those instances that put them in the corner of "sectarian shit". The rest of us don't need to tolerate such toxicity.

Oh, the Tankie Triad is free to moderate as they wish too. And other instances are free to block them. And I am free to warn unsuspecting newcomers.

The example I referenced is https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&modId=26&userId=9458793

But the problem is that it's not an isolated case. You do need to take into account that this is regular practice, as shown in the multitude of cases.

Anyway, either you look into it, and find, like I did, that they are unreasonable and toxic, or you don't.

And it totally is. Stupid, and traitorous.

Unreasonable moderation (e.g. bans for warning against romanticising the Soviet Union and Stalin) happens on lemmy.ml too. Please have a look at the link I posted in my previous comment.

I'm fine with differing opinions, if done in good faith. I'm not fine with people being nasty (personal attacks, name-calling) and mods being extremely biased (e.g. banning people for criticising Russia, China, North-Korea). I don't need such toxicity in my life.

Aren't you already seen as the 51st state?

Edit: I don't mean to defend that at all. I'm just saying that Canada is already in Trump's crosshairs. This doesn't fundamentally change the situation.

While your particular issues is solved, you should be aware that lemmy.ml is one instance of the Tankie Triad, which many other instances have blocked. Unless you like living in tankieland, I would suggest you make an account somewhere else.

While I enjoyed the first book, and might pick up the others, I wasn't as impressed, and wouldn't put it on any reread shortlist. What did I miss?

Any encyclopedia will reflect the biases of its editors. The best you can do is to have good procedures and fact-checkers.

Why would I?

And American ones who see the danger and have the means to go abroad.

They can, but there is a lot of hesitation, and the process is slow.

Ukraine got a lot of support from the US and Europe. And without the US this would not have been so easy.

Oh, they know. This was intentional, including nominating Kamala Harris, so Donnie could win and the oligarchs could grab more power.

Now it's high time for European leaders to show their support as well.

The brain drain has started.

If the EU can actually rally together and form a European army...

OnlyOffice hides the fact that it's Russian.

And is it fully compatible? Most Excel-alikes have at least some hiccups.
