Is it not allowed or frowned upon by the mods and maintainer of Lemmy? Although I do respect the technology and services that Lemmy and its community have provided, I’m still looking for answer on the fact whether it’s ok/allowed to have a vocal and confident opposing view.

Also, within this community (China), Am I allowed to post things that opposes the chinese government, such as, not liking their attitude towards a certain island in the south east of china?

    TIL a new word “asinine”

    Well personally i’m in favor of contrarian voices. I hate a troll as much as anyone else, but i’m happy to receive some counter-propaganda on every community i belong to. Just the other day, i published an article on /c/anarchism which advertises for the exact opposite of anarchism (top-down regulation) in order to start a debate.

    I also understand some communities who would like to stay between people who agree on certain things. But in my very personal view, that’s not what a public instance like lemmy.ml and very generic board names (like !china@lemmy.ml or !france@lemmy.ml) are for.

    EDIT: just to be clear, if there’s an explicitly stalinist forum somewhere, i’m not going to go troll them. But if there’s a generic “socialism” forum, i’ll certainly make the case that Nation-States are fundamentally incompatible with the goal of building communism.

      You have a very weird habit of replying with complete and absolute non sequiturs.
