Explicitly posting on this (lemmy.ml based) community… tl;dr: title (which is from a couple years ago)

Just wanted to check what’s the community’s stand on this, and hopefully see if the devs came around to “fixing” the issue.

Just wanted to post this for more completion https://lemmy.world/post/1236428

    All I see in your link is a very strong opinion posted on Mastodon social, but there is zero source of what the user claims. The only link posted is an article from Amnesty international.
    They talk about messages with the devs but no citation, no screenshot.

    Should I only believe their saying without any proof? This is wrong.

      1. It’s not “just one strong opinion”. That’s one of the most followed accounts on mastodon (which doesn’t necessarily give merit on its own), used for tips about the fediverse. It gains absolutely nothing “talking bad” about lemmy(.ml)/its devs/admins.
      2. My question is related to the fact of whether the devs/admins have come out and said anything about it (for or against the claims). It’s not the only time that topic has come out, but it’s one of the earliest sources of the “political views” topic that I’ve found.
      3. There are other topics that the devs don’t seem to have addressed (regarding preventing (some) outside kbin accounts from requesting content).

      I’m all in for Lemmy, but I want to know, that I’m in the right place, not twitter 2.0.

    Not this again I’ve seen it posted in a few different places in what I can only imagine to discredit Lemmy or the devs.

      Isn’t that convenient that it is happening only 48h before a controversial shift in Reddit’s policy.

      Not meant to discredit. And what’s the point of waiting 1 more day to post a simple question. I don’t think any of us is going back to Reddit any time soon, so what’s the point?

    Could you post some links? I saw someone make that claim before on Reddit and looks like they were upset about the lack of censorship and not about human rights violations.

      I don’t have many more links at hand other than the one from the title. I got that from another site comparing kbin and lemmy. It should be a post on the front page (of all not just local) right now.

      I just read it, and it seems to be a “known” issue, which probably resurrected due to the reddit drama, but as a reddit refugee I’m pretty out of the loop myself. I just want to see what the community (veterans?), devs or admins have to say.

    This has been flooded everywhere. It looks to me like a smear campaign because of the sudden surge in Lemmy engagement.

    stop whining

    I keep seeing this spammed everywhere, and they never even specify what they’re talking about.

      “the UN not recognizing it” and “it not being true” are entirely different things.

      Even the article you linked makes it clear that at least some of the votes were from countries trying to tiptoe around the issue to avoid pissing off China.
