Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps

The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I’m still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.

    I think that’s valid, but from what I’ve seen, it mostly relates to Western propaganda against China.

    I don’t trust the US or China, really, but I can at least admit from a Western perspective, a lot of stuff promoted about China is propaganda, and I don’t disagree with the admins that it can be perceived as “racist.” I agree with the admins on that and it seems that is mostly where the accusations lie, with them supporting China. I think that’s fair and China is just as full of actual real humans (actually more) than the US and other Western nations. Painting all US citizens or all Chinese citizens with a broad brush isn’t acceptable. Valid critiques of their government should be, but a lot of Western critiques can often (and should) be dismissed as not valid or highly propagandist.

    Anyway, that’s what I’ve seen. People post something that’s anti-China from a Western perspective and admins remove it.

    Also, “if you don’t agree you can gtfo” is kind of the entire point of federation. You can always choose another instance that these guys don’t run. I think that’s an entirely valid attitude, and it’s one that allows the Fediverse to grow instead of stagnate on one server.

      If you don’t agree with our opinion on how a server should be run. Which is very different from “if you don’t agree with our political views”. It’s not clear which they mean.

      So I’m still very interested in their opinion on how a server should be run. If that’s sufficient then I shouldn’t need to be concerned with their political views.
