Check the new pinned post in .ml's meme community. Here's the post itself:
There's so much goofiness to unpack here.
And a bonus, this small comment thread. We're totally not a marxist instance guys but we totally are a marxist instance guys and it's such a good thing:
I can't mentally square how someone could claim their instance is general use, run a general meme community, and also openly state the community purpose is to further specific ideology. Wow.
Nothing against surfacing lesser heard voices, but that's not the place for a generic meme comm (go make a leftymemes equivalent or something), and we all know that isn't what's really going on here.

We don't expect you to be a communist, just think and act like our hyper-specific sect of "communism" at all times or face an immediate ban. Sure.
The irony is that the whole existence of that instance is living proof of how catastrophic their ideas would be if implemented more broadly, and I have no doubt they've educated many lemmings on this fact unintentionally.

Everything have to be politically inspected now it seems.

Remember, authoritarianism is good if it comes disguised with a hammer and sickle. So they are both the plucky underdog AND the might superior country.

Im so thankful for this community, it lets me block their instance, and still get the occasional chuckle from their insanity.

I'm really not a fan of .ml, but I'm not sure I see what's objectionable in either of these posts.

Because they mean "please fellate our favourite dictators". They don't actually say that, but that's what they mean. The "voices from the global south" that they're talking about are Putin, the CCP, the Ayatollah and their assorted and equally unsavoury friends.

If you say that genociding Uyghurs is not okay, the lemmy.ml admins consider that to trigger the rule about colonialist mindset. Similarly, if you talk bad about the Russian colonization of peoples such as Mari and Buryats or Tatars, that is seen by them as an example of you having a colonialist mindset. And those messages of yours then get removed by the mods.

Another ultra based W for the scary “tankies”. Thanks for posting comrade ✊

Lol, if imagining that people are scared of tankies gives you some vague feeling of strength, go right ahead and roll with that. I'm sure you need every small bit of ego boost you can scrabble together.
You're welcome to interact with whatever communities you wish, and like I said I can see some logic in it.
I just don't think it's appropriate for a comm that at first glance appears to be a general use meme community on the flagship lemmy instance, while the very mod pushing this is trying to say that it's still a general use comm/instance. This sort of rule means it clearly isn't general use, there's a focus that should be made loud and clear. Go have your specific focused spaces, just don't try and hide it as a space for everyone then get pissy and ban happy when people treat the space as it initially appears to be.
And we all know that what this weird rant really means is that there's no room for any vague positivity about the US whatsoever, because imperialism is only ok when our team does it.

Yea, not gonna read all of that. Thanks for posting this update, I completely agree with the mods over ml, I’m sure you do too. 🫶 death to amerikkka

In this community, you have a lot of lattitude. I support your decision to not read all that, and will defend your right to do so.
See my previous comment regarding lattitude
No you're not.
You'd be surprised how attractive this sentiment is outside of your particular ingroup.
That being said, I'd have thought that Trump's usage of Stalinist tactics would have tankies absolutely turgid.

I mean, I try to stay away from the equator yes, too hot for me. I try to keep my latitude a bit higher.

And still baited. I equate the quality of the bait to the quality of the post.

Come on, now. It's not your fault that you're "simple"; you were born that way.
