Very well said. Also, if these people disagree with the rules on lemmy.ml, they could create their own instance, with their own rules. Thats the whole point of federation.
Us: "China isn't committing the atrocities the West accuses them of and here's evidence."
Anti-China people: "OMG you actively advocate for China's atrocities and want them to keep happening!"
We politely asked this fedi account to take this discussion here, but they obstinately refused. They've equated even any discussion questioning the Zenz / Byler / ASPI narrative as genocide denial.
Block 'em and move on I say. It's clear there's no reasoning with them and there isn't much we can do to stop them from spewing propaganda at us. In fact, engaging them will probably only exacerbate things.
