Explicitly posting on this (lemmy.ml based) community… tl;dr: title (which is from a couple years ago)

Just wanted to check what’s the community’s stand on this, and hopefully see if the devs came around to “fixing” the issue.

Just wanted to post this for more completion https://lemmy.world/post/1236428

    All I see in your link is a very strong opinion posted on Mastodon social, but there is zero source of what the user claims. The only link posted is an article from Amnesty international.
    They talk about messages with the devs but no citation, no screenshot.

    Should I only believe their saying without any proof? This is wrong.

      1. It’s not “just one strong opinion”. That’s one of the most followed accounts on mastodon (which doesn’t necessarily give merit on its own), used for tips about the fediverse. It gains absolutely nothing “talking bad” about lemmy(.ml)/its devs/admins.
      2. My question is related to the fact of whether the devs/admins have come out and said anything about it (for or against the claims). It’s not the only time that topic has come out, but it’s one of the earliest sources of the “political views” topic that I’ve found.
      3. There are other topics that the devs don’t seem to have addressed (regarding preventing (some) outside kbin accounts from requesting content).

      I’m all in for Lemmy, but I want to know, that I’m in the right place, not twitter 2.0.

    Not this again I’ve seen it posted in a few different places in what I can only imagine to discredit Lemmy or the devs.

      Isn’t that convenient that it is happening only 48h before a controversial shift in Reddit’s policy.

    Could you post some links? I saw someone make that claim before on Reddit and looks like they were upset about the lack of censorship and not about human rights violations.

    This has been flooded everywhere. It looks to me like a smear campaign because of the sudden surge in Lemmy engagement.

      “the UN not recognizing it” and “it not being true” are entirely different things.

      Even the article you linked makes it clear that at least some of the votes were from countries trying to tiptoe around the issue to avoid pissing off China.

        to be honest, I was in a hurry when I wrote that comment, but now I am not.

        I linked reuters because it was the first thing that popped out of the search engine that says that countries did vote and the outcome of that vote but we both know that “avoiding pissing off China” is Reuters’ opinion.

        this is a map that shows the voters. the green countries are what gets referred to as the world in western media that is not a coincidence because you’ll find the same pattern throughout a lot of UN votes.

        all of the Muslim countries agree that it is not a genocide. To make it more clearer I live in one of those countries and the majority here are Muslims and it is not a genocide. before this vote, my government sent out people to examine Xinjang and they concluded that it is not a genocide oh and I happened to trust my people more than the …

        Western media offends us by saying that we are “avoiding pissing off China” Heck saying that +30 countries are “avoiding pissing off China” is totally absurd.

        You’ll have to excuse my grammatical errors because english isn’t even my second language.
