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 learned recently firsthand .ml does not take kindly to the word tankie lol
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
There’s no way people like that exist. The guy who banned you is playing a character
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)_/¯
happy lemon/cake day
Hoorah, welcome to the club! It is a badge of honor really. I use a separate account to have some discussions on .ml but in the mean time I added lemmy.ml to my instance blocklist and Lemmy has been wonderfull since.
A big issue seems to be that users looking for worldnews get their world news instead of world at lemmy.world…
And yes I sometimes have discussions on .ml as I think some of the extrimist idolization needs to be called out. So that if normal people see such comments they can also read a dissenting viewpoint.
And every now and then, just to tell a tankie that the Uyghur camps are real… Getting banned and doing it again.
Tankies gonna tankie
Congrats. I don’t have any experience because I have been avoiding and blocking lemmy.ml.
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.
I don’t even know if my instance is federated with them, all the better if not imo.
We aren’t, I’m still confused how an instance without any NSFW communities is “full of porn” lmao
You got your wish on a right wing instance ban, it’s clear from the Russia+China fandom. They just pretend to be communists
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.
Democracy is incompatible with state formations. States dominate the masses of people into submission. States are not liberatory
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.
You use these words, but you don’t know what they mean…
I could understand bragging about being banned from lemmygrad.ml …
Let the fascists have their fun pretending like they’re being oppressed.
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.
