Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?

      Can I take my account with me? Or spin up a new account and username? And subscribed communities?

        You can export your settings and subscriptions - then import them elsewhere. You’ll lose your post/comment history though.

      What do you recommend instead? I sign up on another instance? Which one?

          Anarchist based instances are definitely one of the better options. You’ll still find ML there. Even running some communities. But easier to avoid over all. Less likely to have immature micromanaging admins as well as auth propaganda.

          Though really, just find about any other instance that federates with the servers the communities important to you are on. And you should be good.

            ML stands for Marxist-Leninist, that’s more or less the Tell. They’re not merely socialist, but authoritarian. Like MAGA, they treat dissent as hostile.

              “Authoritarian” in this case meaning what, exactly? That the states set up by Marxist-Leninists have lasted for longer than a few years, and built up the necessary state structures to protect the gains of socialism?

                It’s always funny to watch tankies try to justify their boot licking. You’re not fooling anyone, bud.

                    Maybe the part where you defend authoritarian actions (like hostility against dissidents) as simply “necessary state structures to protect the gains of socialism”?
