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

    banning users for criticizing authoritarian governments

    Please stop trying to smear other instances and their operators with these lies, leave the behavior that contributed to ruining Reddit there or just go back if you insist on doing it.

    They were banned for orientalism which breaks rule 1 of the instance as explained here, there’s plenty of criticism of China on lemmy.ml that you can find on c/politics and c/worldnews

      I think it’s pretty obvious this user was asking this question because they genuinely don’t know. Maybe stop jumping on people’s asses and having assumptions about their intentions. You could have just said the last part of your sentence and that would have answered their question.
