Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Aside from other concerns, I find the association with Brexit to be less than ideal. But people should also note that this was posted on r/anarchocommunism so it makes sense they recommended lemmy.ml
Overall it's fine, we are still at the stage where just getting people to hear about the existence of Lemmy is a big win. They may join and leave, they may just navigate to the page and not join, but now they are aware of it and may eventually decide to join in the future when reddit fucks up again.
DB0 would be a far better fit like @NOT_RICK@lemmy.world said
That's true, but I'm just pointing out that it's a leftist subreddit recommending lemmy.ml, so it's not going out to a generalized audience.
And honestly they're not as tankie as people claim, that title really belongs to hexbear and lemmygrad. The management of lemmy.ml is tankie friendly, but many or even most of the users are not actually tankies.
It's very complicated because they were the main server for a long time before any of us even joined Lemmy, and all of their public descriptions don't even mention leftism at all, it's just about privacy and FOSS. Many users have made accounts there and used it for years without really caring or engaging with the tankie allegations or posts. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be.
Hexbear on the other hand is actually worse than anyone could ever explain without experiencing it for yourself. So let's not forget the two servers are not identical.
You haven't been on .ml much or don't pay attention to the subtleties if you think the admins and main mods aren't full blown Tankies. And they're quick to silence dissenting voices that dare criticize China or Russia, no matter how deserving or right
.ml is more subtle than hex that's true, but they're absolutely Tankies just the same and consider hex and grad friends.
