Apparently there’s an issue with some instances banning users for criticizing authoritarian governments. Is lemmy.world a safe place to criticize governments?

Have you ever actually watched the video? Really makes you think 🤔
Just a couple of days I got over 800k views for posting ⚠ A MAN HAS BEEN SPOTTED PROTESTING IN LEGO CITY ⚠. Now deleted, or maybe on privat.
Just imagine how much interesting and actually usefull information will be gone just because of a selfish CEO…
You know that a lot of subreddits blacked out or went private, right? Your epistemology is bad here.
Also, it doesn’t really qualify as “useful information,” both because Reddit is already well-saturated with misinformation about 10k dead and such, and all you posted was a tired meme that has been posted dozens of times before by similar “activists” and karma-farmers.
Really makes me think why you’d spend time defending a government massacre of 1500-4000 protesters, with 10,000 injured.
Unfortunately I also saw the videos and pictures of tanks grinding bodies into pulp and washing them down drains shortly after this… That one certainly made me think.
No you didn’t, because no such video exists. No such video exists because that story – of pulping bodies and “washing them down drains” – is ridiculous, impractical nonsense made up by someone who wasn’t even there (I forget if it was student leader Chai Ling or one of the reporters sitting in their Beijing Hotel room who is responsible for that specific gem, but both lied about witnessing things they weren’t there for).
Why do you need to lie about what you have seen in order to defend your thesis? Aren’t these real and serious events that deserve to be treated with gravity? I don’t feel particularly inclined to speak so flippantly about the people who actually did die on June 4th – incidentally the day before the Tank Man video, which is of him obstructing tanks leaving the square.
You may be right, that I am misremembering and it was just a stream of photos. But that doesn’t mean I intentionally lied or that the photos were any less gruesome.
I doubt amy such photos exist either. If they did, surely Le Redditors would post those on the front page rather than those of wrecked bicycles or a man unharmed by a tank. Let me know if you find these photos instead of just reveling in fond memories of them.
They were posted on Reddit. Years back. Sure, the narrative of tank drivers running over civilians may have been exaggerated. I don’t know. But the pictures of maimed and burnt bodies definitely exist. If you want to see them so bad go search for them yourself. I have no desire to view those again.
I tried but I couldn’t find them. Since you were so sure you hadn’t dreamt them up and are not perpetuating folklores in the age of informarion I asked for your help. But if you are not willing to substantiate your very serious claims I understand.
There are definitely photos of maimed and burned soldiers
