Criticism is one thing and it can end with an interesting discussion, but that’s not what’s going on here.
What usually happens is that someone with extreme views on Russia (or China) “teaches you the truth” (that may include the denial of widely accepted historical facts) and “fuck you brainwashed slave of capitalism” if you disagree. Alternatives to the teaching are plain insult and mockery. I even found mods banning posts or users in some communities.
I had to block a long list of people, whole instances, and some communities before Lemmy could become acceptable.

Had to take a double-take here since you have just posted that from lemmy.ml
What’s wrong with that?
