I did some analysis of the modlog and found this:
Ok, bigger instances ban more often. Not surprising, because they have more communities and more users and more trouble. But hang on, dbzer0 isn't a very big instance. What happens if we do a ratio of bans vs number of users?
Ok, so lemmy.ml, dbzer0 and pawb are issue an outsized amount of bans for the number of users they have... But surely the number of communities the instance hosts is going to mean they have to ban more? Bans are used to moderate communities, not just to shield their user-base from the outside. Let's look at the number of bans per community hosted:
Seems like dbzer0 really loves to ban. Even more than the marxists and the furries! What is it about dbzer0 that makes them such prolific banners?
Raw-ish numbers and calculations are in this spreadsheet if anyone wants to make their own charts.

Asked to provide links to organizations calling it a genocide, proceeds to provide links to organizations that don't.

Amnesty.org is a US Government organization created by Cold War era Intelligence agents. It is not an internationally recognized neutral organization and has no history of neutrality. They magically find issues with anyone that the US deems as an enemy, but has never criticized the US.
HRRC I've never heard of, but for a generic NGO that appeared out of no where that posts opinion articles that contradict their own sources, they aren't off to a good start. Also not an official organization of anywhere.
USHMM Hosts no sources, has no researchers on staff, has no direct connections to china, and appears to be israeli owned and operated so nothing they've ever said or posted is likely to be true.
