    r/India is a propaganda sub and you are not allowed to post anything that even remotely criticizes the government or points out social issues because it’s against their subreddit rules. You may only post praise and admiration. You are also allowed, or welcomed rather, to shit on any other country.

      Modi has a troll army, you can find them all over the internet. They are a lot like the MAGA cultists.

        Hindu nationalist are indeed brain dead clowns…

        But you ain’t got to reach for Maga when we got neo lib acolytes right on Lemmy constantly moderating “wrong” think.

          It’s still an apt description, so I am confused about the point you are trying to make.

            He’s trying to bash his adversaries here by bringing it up on an unrelated post.

      Have you even seen r/india? It’s the inverse of what you have written. Criticising the govt is the rule there, in fact, there was a whole subreddit called r/indiadiscussion originally dedicated for meta linking of why people got banned from r/india. (r/indiadiscussion isn’t meta only anymore but if one trawls through the old posts, assuming they aren’t deleted, one can see the breadth of bans from r/india)

      It’s r/indiaspeaks that was originally formed as a free speech bastion that turned rightwing because the main sub was staunchly on the opposite side of the spectrum(and loved to use the banhammer).

      I don’t think I can link usernames here but a notorious powermod of r/india used to moderate r/worldnews as well and banning from once meant ban from the other.

      This is simply false. Yes, r/India is a propaganda sub but it’s very much anti-modi and people criticize the government all the time. r/indispeaks is very much pro-modi. I avoid both these subreddits.
