It's not world news over there, it's world "news". The admins and mods of lemmy.ml will allow all manner of, and even post some themselves, pure Russian propaganda over there, it won't be removed and this user won't be banned (they continuously post a bunch of this crap).

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?
(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 have high hopes for PieFed
Yeah, I'm hoping there's a s gradual adoption of PieFed over time, and with that at least an incentive for Lemmy to keep up with features over time
Any tips on piefed instance to check out?
Does it work like Lemmy/mbib.
I've been quite enjoying !movies@piefed.social, the main contributor regularly posts a writeup of various movies.
And yes, it's pretty indistinguishable from the Lemmy point of view as far as I've seen
I want to make my own piefed instance as the ones currently up are just way too far from me but I'm as so somewhat attached to my French instance.
