I’m kind of okay with this. It was a reasonable take – not a hot take or an incendiary comment or something. Mods using their power to shut down discussion – expected on that instance I guess ;)
This is my first time getting any sort of ban on any lemmy instance. Now I just need to get banned on a right-wing server for some other centrist take, to keep balance in the universe ;)
How many of you have experienced this on lemmy.ml?
I once got banned for “BlueAnon nonsense”, and I still have no clue what that means.
I got curious and looked it up.
“Blue Anon” is a term coined by conservatives attacking those who push “left-wing conspiracy theories.”
The phrase is a play on the name of the radical conspiracy theory QAnon
So nonsense lmao
Oh, boy… when the mods over there are calling me the same names that Marjorie Taylor Green uses, I know I’m on the right side, lol
Tankies gonna tankie
I learned recently firsthand .ml does not take kindly to the word tankie lol
Nope, they ban you for it.
They didn’t ban me just deleted my respective comments.Edit: i was banned from worldnews@lemmy.ml for opinion that the Chinese gov controlled media was propaganda.
FAFO bruh
Western chauvinism is when you criticize right-wing strongmen, and the more you criticize the right-wing, the more chauvinist it is.
I’m not saying it makes sense…
Well, then you’ll get bann- oh.
I don’t see anything wrong with what you wrote. And what the hell is “western chauvinism” really? Eastern Europe and Western Europe are simply not THAT different culturally.
The only thing I would actually add to your comment (which would obviously get me banned) would be to say that vetoes should not be a thing in NATO…for ANY country.
I’ve had cases where I got Hexbear dogpiled, so my comment got deleted. However, the mods still kept the dogpiling comments and I was still getting responses because obviously hexbear was brigading.
Yeah, that’s how I found out I was banned. Tried to reply to a reply.
Sorry to hear that mate. Same here, made a post about it too. I think it’s a few users with an agenda, combined with an automod that carries out the actual ban, and mods who don’t review. Discuss. Block (optional). Move on.
Also: as the thread gets active, tankie users may try to hijack your post with comments blaming you for your ban, calling you names/ libtard/ govt bootlicker etc. Ignore these idiots. They come out hot and expect your reaction. Don’t drop to their level. Be better.
Good point. Turkey has been a bad-faith member of NATO for years now.
It must be getting worse on .ml world news. Either that or they have some new power tripping mods. This is like the 5th post I’ve seen in 24hrs about being ban from there.
It is an election year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You got your wish on a right wing instance ban, it’s clear from the Russia+China fandom. They just pretend to be communists
It would be nice if other large instances like .world had the cojones to defederate .ml because they’re getting tankier by the day. They’re almost as bad as lemmygrad. Just because it’s a large instance run by the Lemmy devs doesn’t mean they should get special treatment. If they’re going to allow (read: encourage) crap like this, they should be cut off to prevent it from spreading.
Lemmygrad and .ml are run by the same people. The latter is the “public” face I suppose
There is a realistic scenario where Mali starts reclaiming domains who are using their TLD to mean Marxist-Leninist.
Is that why they use .ml? I had read somewhere that it was just an especially cheap domain to use or something?
Mali had a ten year period where they were allowing free registration. That doesn’t exist anymore.
They also keep getting classified documents due to typos in army.mil email addresses and similar ;)
“They also keep getting classified documents due to typos in army.mil email addresses and similar ;)”
Government of Mali: “We should be taking advantage of this more than we are…”
That and machine-learning for some other websites.
Defederation shouldn’t be the first solution to problems with other instances. If they want to be overzealous and heavy handed with moderation on their site then they will lose users who want more fair and effective moderation. But if you defedate with them, then their users just get stuck on these echo chamber communities.
Defederation should be a last resort to deal with poor moderation of abusive content, not moderation that we don’t agree with.
When an instance’s admins actively support hostile regimes and condone mods censoring posts about human rights abuses and genocide while spreading propaganda, it’s not a simple disagreement.
.ml has no problem with people defending Russia’s invasion and genocide in Ukraine, or denying China’s genocide of Uighur Muslims. But they’ll delete posts calling out Turkey and Hungary for acting in bad faith as NATO and EU members.
They’re not just allowing but encouraging disinformation to propagate across the fediverse in order to win more support for their dictator daddies. Instance admins have the same responsibility to prevent dangerous disinformation campaigns from spreading as any other social network. They can either opt to do so on their own, or they can wait for regulations to force them to like Facebook and Xhitter.
I agree with your assessment on their political views. I also don’t mod any communities on Lemmy or run my own instance so I don’t have to worry about trying to deal with moderating the harmful political views of admin and mods with their other users’ contributions to the network. I am just stating my opinion of not throwing the baby out with the bath water by going with the nuclear option that is defederation.
turkey and Hungary are from “eastern world”?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_democracy
Western world, western democracy, is largely a term referencing a style of government, not physical location.
“contrasted with illiberal democracies and with dictatorships”
so…they consider japan as western world?
Yes. And Australia. And often South Korea, although one can debate their inclusion in this group.
lmao
I mean, it’s right in the wikipedia article. Wikipedia didn’t make it up. This is largely the consensus use for this term in political circles.
Other potential candidates for inclusion might be Indonesia or Mongolia, but they are not usually included for economic reasons.
I could understand bragging about being banned from lemmygrad.ml …
Corporate wants to to spot the difference,
Its the same picture…Lemmy.ml is just lemmygrad light.
I don’t think my instrance is even federated with them, so it is harder to get banned there ;)
Let the fascists have their fun pretending like they’re being oppressed.
Democracy is incompatible with state formations. States dominate the masses of people into submission. States are not liberatory
You use these words, but you don’t know what they mean…
Don’t bother trying to reason with fascists, they’re not in it because they’re wrong, they in it because they like the wrong.
I routinely catch permeant bans from liberal comms/instances for being left of hitler, you can handle a 3-day warning shot for warhawking.
Now I just need to get banned on a right-wing server for some other centrist take, to keep balance in the universe
Are you going to have your “aha” moment when that doesn’t end up actually happening? Or are you just going to conveniently forget.
Based on your tone here, I checked the modlog for your username (Lemmy is great for this! How did we ever survive on Reddit) and my suspicions were confirmed…
Rule 2 prevents me from calling you what I want to call you, but yes I will agree that the mod log being public is amazing over reddit.
