    I thought as much but it’s still satire in the absract. Just coming from the anti-“tankie” left.

    BTW, I think lemmy.ml would do well to stop deleting comments like the linked one or banning the people who write them. It ends up cleaning up their histories. Also it ends up throwing fewer counterarguments into normies’ eyes. People read and think. If one has heard all their life that Chinese people can’t wait to be liberated and they see the opinion poll you posted there, something cracks. Speaking from experience.

      I tend to agree, but moderation becomes a nightmare for the Lemmy.ml admins and mods. That’s why they overwhelmingly tend to use temp bans, I believe. I don’t fault the Lemmy.ml mods and admins for it, they tend to be pretty leniant until the ableism/homophobia/bigotry comes out.
