You don’t even have to. Most the time they’ll take whatever innocent topic/comment at had and somehow twist it into Russia/China Good, America/West bad.
Sometimes they delete them silently and purge the mod log. I received a message from an admin once telling me that they don’t know how, but somehow another admin had hidden my comment from everyone else without notifying me that it had been removed, and purged the logs. I could still see it, but nobody else could.
I’ve had comments deleted that ran against the grain at .ml, even when they were adequately sourced. I don’t think the instance is necessarily objectionable, but the mods will object to things they don’t want to hear.
I haven’t found Lemmy.ml to be all that objectionable. It’s not like they are hexbear.

stick to the linux subs and you’ll be ok over there. As soon as politics comes up, they go full tankie.
In fairness they probably find the Lemmy.world politics subs equally as divisive.
I stick clear of politics on Lemmy all together unless I really can’t hold my tongue
Some of us are nice
