They’re hardcore Tankies who have no issues removing any comments and banning you for being critical of China, Russia, NK or bringing up things like the genocides China has/is doing or the fact the Russia attacked Ukraine completely unprovoked.
Tankies, yes 1000%, it’s a known fact and problem and also why your “I didn’t know .ml was all about that, I just signed up” is actually fairly common because they promote it as a default instance. It’s also quite common that new Lemmy users who signed up on .ml often switch their accounts to another instance or sadly leave and just never come back after they learn it’s true nature.
And also, Tankie != Communist/Socialist, Tankies more promote the bastardized authoritarianism-based flavor of “communism” That China/Russia love hence the whole “China/Russia are the victims of US imperialism and have done no wrong!!!”

Meanwhileongrad is blocked by .ml, I think. You’ll have to visit it using any other instance. This, for example, should work
