Hypersensitive tankie mod

worldnews at .ml is a dumpster fire. First community I had to completely scrub from my instance because it was just so toxic from top to bottom.

Edit: Also, will share my last comment there before I self-banned and purged that cesspit from my instance. This is in reply to someone making a fat joke about Kim Jong Un:

Good 'ol ambiguous Rule 1 lol

This is the comment and of course toothy banned me for 3 days too.

Just like they did for "sinophobia" when I expressed misgivings about Chinese and Hungarian cops joining forces 🤦

I was also banned from worldnews@lemmy.ml and had comments removed for "Re-enforcing neo-liberal cultural hegemony" and "Believes in objectivity in media lmao".

My offense? Saying that a report sourced solely from an eye-witness account via Al-Jazeera regarding another massacre of civilians and aid workers in Gaza needed to be corroborated by further evidence before we regard it as hard fact. The irony is I'm very much pro-Palestinan.

According to the mods, however, that apparently means I have to throw all media literacy out of the window and blindly accept any anti-Israel claims without question.

The irony of a communist banning someone over "McCarthyism" when what the banned user said was not even close to McCarthyism, making the mod action itself McCarthyism.

They've become the very thing they hate!

Usually I hop in these threads ready to tell people why they deserve to be banned, but dang. There is nothing wrong, ethically or factually, in what you said.

This is why I’ll personally never donate to the Lemmy devs. I could never bring myself to fund a tankie.

I have had my comment removed and/or banned from the ml worldnews for "misinformation" for debunking Russian propaganda with sources.

All of the .ml instances are absolutely Russian psyops and you can’t change my mind

(I jest… mostly…)

Babe, wake up; a new .ml wrongthink euphemism dropped

Oh, I got banished from a whole instance on Mastadon for saying that the Apple Safari team looks at every bug request (and they do):

Little fucking Napoleons will ruin social media, not matter what platform.

Being a moderator is the only amount of power these people will ever have, and they like it, and will absolutely abuse it.

You guys are getting notifications? I just notice the lack of upvotes after a while posting into the void.

Just block the community/instance and move on

I was banned for "Rule 4" which, by digging through their rules (which weren't as easy to find as I expected it to be) I learnt that it was "Illegal content". I literally never posted a comment, post or had ANY kind of interaction on lemmy before. THIS would be my first comment.

Time for an alternate community

What is lemmy.ml and lemmygrad? I'm just a casual using Voyager

I hate when they don't even say what comment was removed, you just have to search for it through your post history and hit edit to view the original.

Lemmy is so fucking bad ass. You get to see exactly why they banned you. I think you can type in anyone's username to see tbe bans.

Feel free to type in my name, I already got a ban.

Sorry I got a little to hot about Russia out producing the USA in artillery shells this far into the Ukraine war. I feel like we spent trillions on defense, there should be production lines just waiting to go for every type of ammunition.

Capitalists will lynch us the moment it is profitable to do so, why are we putting our safety and national security in thier hands?

I just had one removed from news as well. I don't even remember what I said though so I somehow doubt it was something that crazy

I wanted to do this one for a while now.

Do this :
Settings >> Blocks >> Block instance : _lemmy.ml

I mean, what was your comment, mate?

Jesus fucking Christ, are we getting the power-trip mods?

yeah,yeah nuke .world i agree (finnaly someone speaking out of being tortured by shit moderators being able to be anonymous as automod)

Hey if the want to keep their community tiny that's their prerogative lol

I want to remind everyone in here that Lemmy is self-hosted and federated. If you want to make your post visible on their server or community, you have to abide by the rules they set even if they or their enforcement may seem arbitrary or stupid. It's their server/community you want to put your stuff on and they do not have a duty to accept it. Lemmy allows you to block those communities or instances or even to create or host your own.

I have no opinion about the particular circumstances of ops ban or anyone else's interaction with lemmy.ml, but posting through a ban just never looks good

A whole comment section posting bans looks... worse. It looks worse.

I'm still undecided as to who is more irritating to deal with... the tankies over in .ml or the liberals over here.

You said that germanys Nazi problem doesn’t have to do with west Germany never denazifying and that west Germany was a perfect country because of how pacifist it is and how they remember the holocaust.

You posted a screenshot earlier, but here’s the text of your removed comment, split up into the part you quoted and your comment itself for people who have trouble reading the screenshot:

West Germany was never denazified data that ends before the BIRTH of the majority of Germans

Look, I'm not saying that Germany doesn't have a problem with an increase in far right politics and violence in recent years, but to claim that they never stopped being a Nazi country is some ahistorical tankie edgelord bullshit. Until recently, Germany has been a near-pacifist country almost pathologically careful to "Nie wiederholen, nie vergessen" (never repeat, never forget) and pretending otherwise doesn't accomplish anything except expose your very shallow and underdeveloped understanding of the world.

For people who don’t know 20th century European history, that’s like saying that American racism isn’t related to how half assed reconstruction was except over a shorter timeframe.
