According to Dessalines (ml admin, head Lemmy dev) it's a 30 day ban if you discuss Winnie the Pooh or the negatives of China

  Until it has links that support tankie talking points, then it's suddenly a credible source

  Ah yes, the online encyclopedia, that doesn't justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine under the same grounds Israel uses to justify its Gaza genocide. Both Palestinians and Ukrainians are called "nazis", both nations atrocities they suffer are called "false flags commited onto themselves, to garner sympathy". I wonder where did Putin and his band learned this tactic from.

  Lemmy.ml, but it's "No Bigotry" rule 2 is "Be respectful"
  
  sqgl @sh.itjust.works 5d ago
  
  "Be respectful" can mean "agree with me" especially amongst the Left. Seems to be getting worse.
  Right Wing love throwing blatant insults around. They used to be into casual bigotry.
  And the centrists tend to be bigots without the balls to say so.
  And then there are arrogant, delusional misanthropists like me.

Winnie the Pooh isn't banned in China! Here, let me ban you to show you how true this is!
These fuckers don't even need China for censorship, they just do it themselves like the good little useful idiots that they are
FundMECFS @anarchist.nexus 4d ago

To be fair there’s a bit of nuance like Winnie the Pooh isn’t outright banned you can buy merch and stuff in China. But obviously anything that has a whiff of Xi criticism is straight to jail, so in that sense many instances of Winnie the Pooh used in ways that could signal dissent is very much surveilled and cracked down upon.
In any case Dessalines being a power tripping ML censor as usual.

I was in the threads under that post too. Honestly I feel like I’ve seen less tankie shenanigans and bullshit arguments on full blown hexbear posts than that post lol
Did their typical instance shut down or something?

I really want to move away from .ml instance, but I don't see a "memes" equivalent in .world or other such instances.
I known of linuxmemes, but no general topic ones.

- cm0002 @piefed.world 5d ago
  Err what?
  !memes@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz are both general purpose meme comms
  With the exception of political memes being separated into !politicalmemes@lemmy.world
  Then there's a whole slew of other types like !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world !wholesomememes@lemmy.world !science_memes@mander.xyz !animemes@ani.social !historymemes@lemmy.world !rpgmemes@ttrpg.network
  There's really no reason to use any .ml comm for any reason

  we can make one together if you want, i have a few thousand images in my memes folder
  
  Thassodar @sh.itjust.works 5d ago
  I have a ton of old ones (mid-2000s) I used to post on Antique Memes Roadshow, but the mod there doesn't seem to understand that 'Cock goes where?' memes were the low bar at the time.
  I even attempted to add a disclaimer that the memes were from a time when being PC all the time, especially online, was not even considered. None of them were NSFW or offensive to any particular group, but I'd be happy to share.
