No proof, I just heard about it. A buddy and someone on reddit told me about "tankies on lemmy" which I dismissed as drama at first, then I heard it's actually the main devs too, then I did a quick google search and search on lemmy here, it seems universally agreed upon at least in those threads from what I can see.
I can't verify their censorship, but they also run Lemmygrad. If you take a look around there you'll find literal propaganda. The solution is to not interact with lemmy.ml at least that's the solution in my opinion.
Not sure about any censorship happening either, I'm just wondering even just what rogue devs could do once lemmy gets bigger, and I do worry about the social capital they get, afterall they promote their servers prominently on the main lemmy site. I can somewhat tolerate far right or far left on my social media (well not directly, but in the other room next to mine) as long as it's contained, follows ToS in good enough faith and doesn't spread too much through cryptic messaging and memes. I wonder if this crosses that line for me already, I'm not sure, and not sure what the facts of the situation actually are, hence the post.
Unironically using the word "tankie" in a derogatory way gives off major lib vibes btw. And you know what happens if you scratch one of those.
that's pretty aggressive. noone is forcing you to identify with the bad parts of socialism.
