I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.

    Regardless of the criticism specifics, a visible mod/admin is a bad mod/admin. True leadership follows; the steering, imperceptible. The job is that of a janitor. People can appreciate a janitor. When a janitor tries to play president, hate follows.

    I haven’t seen the specifics in this instance. I saw someone posting partial private messages in screen shots months ago without full context and making drama. I have not seen inexcusable behavior from .ml or a reason I feel motivated to stop posting there.

      inexcusable behavior from .ml

      Go post the most reasonable fact-based take that’s still anti-china or anti-russia you can over there and it’ll be clear real quick

        I post criticisms of Russia and China quite frequently, the critical part of “critical support” doesn’t mean critical like “it’s a critical attack!”.

        With Russia though, literally the only context where the guys who destroyed the USSR and caused the greatest non-war-related drop in human life expectancy, increase in suicide, increase in child mortality, increase in alcoholism, etc in the 20th century are a better alternative is in the context of opposing western hegemony.

        Like you’re not going to see a ml say anything nice about Russia, only that it’s less evil than the west.

        The problem you’ve got, is the reverse is also equally true, if not more so.

        You keep trotting out this same line.

        What facts do you need to us to know, that are beyond challenge ?

          That’s just the more prominent example, what others would you like?

          How about the .ml admin who told a user to kill themselves and is still an admin? Or how about the general toxicity of their users towards Lemmy newcomers? Or the BlueMaGA crap? Or how about likening Harris to fascism when there was a literal textbook fascist, Trump, on the ticket
