This is pure misinformation/propaganda that won't be removed, I'd bet money on it. Join the boycott of lemmy.ml today! No posts, comments or upvotes on the .ml instance comms!

"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

I instance blocked lemmy.ml months ago
Excellent! Lol just FYI though for you and anyone else who see, instance blocks should be more thought of as a mute rather than an actual block, .ml users can still see your posts and comments and interact with them (i.e. downvote brigade, talk shit) you just won't be able to see it
If you want to have a bit of fun and get an instance block that actually works you should try speed running a site ban LMAO
This has always been my go-to strategy for exactly that reason.
Blocking .ml:
Letting .ml block you for not adhering to the narrative:
I am actually not blocked from .ml that I know of, although my server is defederated from Hexbear.
I was...for 2 months, for 2 glorious months I could post what I want without interference.
Then one of my memes the other week must've got to davel because within like an hour of it being posted they un-site-banned me and then manually banned me from like only the top 10 or 15 comms lololol
I am banned on !worldnews@lemmy.ml for criticizing a Venezuelan government news site, I said something like "this sounds like straight out of maduros ass" lol.
It's alright that I only block the communities, some ml user are decent / don't know where they registered. However I see a decent portion of tankies spill over to the lemmy.world news communities..
Yea, that's one reason I don't mute them myself, I try to steer those users away by showing them this comm. If you want to help, you need to give them this kind of link that routes through another instance because (the irony) they censor their users from seeing it: https://lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
Same. Immediate QOL improvement.
