Just going to throw out that the tankies at the… uhhh… US STATE DEPARTMENT have also said officially that there isn’t evidence for genocide in Xinjiang: https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/02/19/china-uighurs-genocide-us-pompeo-blinken/

If anyone calls you a genocide denier, throw out this one and see out they respond.

What a terrible justification. So their reason for defederating isn’t hate speech or anything truly problematic, but because… We’re a socialist instance with socialist opinions? So it really is just anti-socialism then? It’s also amusing seeing people accuse Hexbear of being an echo chamber, yet it’s the lemmy.world admins going against their own users to preemptively defederate instances on shaky ideological grounds? Not only is Hexbear NOT doing this, but admins here even made a post encouraging people to act in good faith and follow the rules of other instances. Which instance is the real echo chamber here? Sure looks like lemmy.world.

Anyways, we have better emotes, better posts, cooler users, and a real community that helps people and does good things. If you’re a lemmy.world user reading this, make an account here and come on over. I’ve been on this site awhile now, and it’s actually quite nice.
