Apparently there's an issue with some instances banning users for criticizing authoritarian governments. Is lemmy.world a safe place to criticize governments?

It is. Its important to remember that pro russian posters and other posters from authoritarian countries are already here to muddy the waters. Propaganda is the name of the game and these sorts of talking points are their main techniques to derail a conversation.

See, the problem isn't the authoritarian government, its racist westerners who just hate anyone. This way they expect you to be tolerant of their actions, while their actions are totally intolerant of others. Its their ide of a moral gotcha.
