I live in the UK. Being against the UK government is not considered a mental illness.


That’s not what they meant. You suggested that people who criticise the USSR automatically ignore human rights abuses from the USA (specifically - to black people). This is a baseless claim. How do you know that everyone who highlights USSR human rights abuses ignores USA human rights abuses?


When did the USA, in the last 50 years section people for dissent?
From an instance admins perspective, yes.
Otherwise it’s about on-par at a community moderation level. It has a few other things but they don’t present as viewed from Lemmy, mitigating their utility at the moment.
