Clear censorship and bias of the admins and mods of .ml. As long as you're saying things that align with the tankie mindset, it's all good. @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml has gotten so bad lately that some of their comments have started to get removed, but no bans in sight when anybody (i.e. those not with the IN crowd) else would have gotten at a minimum a 30 day ban from multiple .ml comms had they even gotten close to the things Brain has been saying LONG ago.

That tells me they fully agree with what they're saying, but are just doing damage control.

ETA:

After this post went live Brain did catch a ban for a whopping....24 hours lol talk about getting the "Kid Glove" treatment

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!

Notice how @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml was able to use the pejorative "shitlib" and their comment has yet to be removed under "Rule 1" or anything lol "Rules for me but not for thee!" LMAO

They're all normal accounts too, seems like it's just a preemptive ban based on "possible unaligned with tankies vibes" ig lmao

Sorry @coldwarful@lemm.ee you had to find out how the .ml tankies operate like this being new and all. But yea this is what they do, no matter how polite or right you are, if Davel, dessalines et all deem it to be against Russia/China/NK they'll remove it and ban you at least from the comm it happened in

Also, Tankie is very clearly defined, but they don't want to talk about that lmao: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Sorry @bingBingBongBong@lemm.ee you had to deal with this just freshly coming from Reddit

But these are the games that the Tankie Triad and especially .ml play

Welcome to the club @Pilferjinx@lemmy.world

Don't forget .ml tankies (including the main admin and dev (unfortunately)!)simp for one of the craziest, brutalist dictatorships in the world! LMAO

Welcome to the club @vodkasolution@feddit.it

It does not matter how calm or reasonable the comment is, if it's deemed to be in dissent of the Tankie mindset it's removed and you're banned

For context this next one ~~might have been~~ (have confirmed with Vitaly) was a comment to https://lemmy.world/post/26045579 (Crossposted version, original that was on .ml memes comm was removed as well so I can't pull up the original to pair the modlog entry to the post like I did for the first 2 screenshots)

Context

Every time I post criticism of the instance an admin goes nuclear.

Elect: to select by vote for an office, position, or membership. by Merriam Dictionary

I thought voting "doesn't work?" Are you telling his logic isn't even consistent by his own standards.

This is the same instance sheltering the well-known troll Universal Monk.

The tankies communities quickly collapse when challenged first Hexbear now Vegantheoryclub. It's almost as if their foundation is weak.

I have screenshotted that last part with much pleasure. Have a good life buddy!

This is why some don't see the problem with .ml, they're way more subtle. And to those I say look:

This comment was removed by a .ml mod in that thread and the user banned:

And yet, another comment from a .ml user referencing .world instead, but essentially says the same thing as @Fizz@lemmy.nzs comment is allowed to stay up just fine for hours.

Why was that not removed? Where is their ban?

Just .ml Tankie things ig

Hexbear's domain has expired and the admins can't get ahold of the original registar. Currently up for auction at 20 bids and $550.

https://www.sav.com/auctions/details/7073489/hexbear.net

Edit: Their new domain is chapo.chat. Probably should let admins know so they can defederate them again.
