The people who seem to have problems with lemmy.ml:
Normies/liberals (not me) who don’t like the large number of tankies on the instance (“tankie” is a FAIR description of “Marxist-Leninists” in my opinion)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism–Leninism
Socialists (me included) who don’t like MLs because we believe in socialism democratically controlled by the workers - something MLs seem to pretend to want, but then hold up the USSR and China as examples, which is hilarious at even a cursory glance
Right wingers, who are afraid of the words “communist” and “socialist”.
Lemmy.World censors a bit, when it comes to calls for violence against rich people (though seem to have chilled recently), which is a bit annoying, but I’ve had multiple comments removed as “reactionary” from .ml.
.ml mods (not all) seem to be very sensitive and very comment removal and ban happy
I’ve seen many normal sounding users on lemmy.ml, but the reputation is not undeserved because there are many MLs on there also.
Just the most convenient link as an overview. As far as I can tell the page itself is fairly neutral (other than the criticism section).
Though, happy to hear your perspective of how Stalin’s and Mao’s versions of Marxism–Leninism was democratic.
From many people’s perspective, it definitely was not. And there is no socialism without democratic control by the workers (all of them), in my view anyway.

What account? I don’t see it in any of your modlogs

They are pretty heavy with the censorship if you’re pro palestine from what I’ve found.
My experience with .world was getting banned for ‘trolling’ from their news comm as retaliation by a mod that I had banned from /c/transgender for posting a matt walsh video, making fun of people with neopronouns.
As a anarchist I have plenty of reservations about both the USSR and China. In terms of internet communities I personally find ML spaces much less annoying than social democrat dominated spaces.
What account? I don’t see it in any of your modlogs
After checking, either mod logs have changed since it happened to me (it was a decent while ago), or I have fabricated a memory. Perhaps I saw this as a reason when looking through the mod logs of a specific community once. In any case, yeah, it doesn’t exist in my modlogs.

Haven’t noticed this, yet, though could be because how heavily it’s censored. I mostly engage with that topic on aussie.zone, so this may be why I haven’t noticed.

Fair enough, though MLs (the ones I’ve argued with) seem to defend practically everything about them, which is frustrating.

I think there is nothing more fitting than an anti-ML using Wikipedia on Marxism-Leninism as their source. Chef’s kiss.
