Full disclosure, I live in Africa and don’t have a dog in this fight. I like proper discourse and it’s alright if I and another person disagree on something, what is important is that we communicate and understand where the other is coming from. The ultimate goal is the satiation of needless and avoidable suffering for all minds.
I’ve only been on Lemmy for a few days but across any sub I’ve noticed any criticism of China or the CCP is met with immediate downvotes and anything remotely positive of the US or really any western country whatsoever meets a similar fate.
Anything pro-African is mostly neutral but in essence ignored, no upvotes, no downvotes, no comments.
Has anyone else noticed this? Am I completely off base here? And is there anything else here that seemingly gets downvoted automatically. It would be sad to see the fediverse and Lemmy be nothing more than just another echo chamber on the web.
Finally, I am posting this assuming it will also be downvoted to hell based on the title alone and that itself will be some monochrome of truth of the situation here.

A lot of tankies will tell you that the Uyghur genocide isnt even happening and isnt real.

You can point directly to people and individuals impacted. And they will deny it to your face or find a way to attack the messenger without addressing the message. They have the word of the state. And as we all know. No State anywhere has ever lied or misled. Or any non Western State at least. /s
Turns out people aren’t going to be that moved by a decade of genocide accusations that still haven’t been able to produce any credible evidence, especially when they’re currently seeing an actual genocide being live streamed in front of their eyes
