.ml also has quite a few USSR- and China-fans (apologists for their crimes, going as far as praising Lenin/Stalin/Mao and similar leaders)

And I wouldn't call .ml anti-war, just look at their stance on Ukraine for example (very common: "Russia had to do it because of the evil west")

Calling Lemmy pro-corporate just reads like a joke. The entire point of it is to be independent from companies.

I also wouldn't recommend Lemmy.world simply because it isn't healthy when one instance gets too big.

Never said Lemmy is pro-corporate. The anti-Lemmy.ml posters are.

By “apologists for their crimes,” you’re referring to Lemmy.ml users providing sources dispelling the western hoaxes. Yes, they tend to be better educated and don’t simply repeat western propaganda that’s been debunked.

They're "disproving" "western hoaxes" like the holodomor or uyghur suppression, and praising the USSR and China for being so kind to its inhabitants...

And how is OP trying to "promote Lemmy as another pro-fascism and pro-corporate and pro-war social platform"?

holodomor

Nobody is denying that the Soviet Famine happened, what they deny is the totally fabricated claim that it was a targeted genocide against Ukrainians.

uyghur suppression

Nobody is denying that there was/is a police crackdown, what they deny is the totally fabricated claim that it is a targeted genocide against Uyghurs.
