Could you point me to a specific passage that is worth a preventive ban?

The three main points listed:

“Please try to keep the dirtbag lib-dunking to hexbear itself. Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated.”

asking not to spam the other instances with aggressive memes, instead engaging with sources. Doesn’t look so bad.

“The West’s role in the world, through organizations such as NATO, the IMF, and the World Bank - among many others - are deeply harmful to the billions of people living both inside and outside of their imperial core.”

A political belief one may or may not agree with. Is it against the rules of lemmy.world?

“These organizations constitute the modern imperial order, with the United States at its heart - we are not fooled by the term “rules-based international order.” It is in the Left’s interest for these organizations to be demolished. When and how this will occur, and what precisely comes after, is the cause of great debate and discussion on this site, but it is necessary for a better world.”

Communists believe in communism and don’t agree with neither liberalism nor fascism. Is this surprising? Should we stop having left-wing content on this instance?

My comment was born out of sadness for the fact that a preventive ban was applied against an instance that professes vision of the world one may disagree with, but that, if argued properly, is certainly worth being, at least, discussed. I’d have totally understood a defederation is such instance would have violated rules in here and so on. But a preventive strike? I disagree with it.

With this said, it’s not the end of the world, and I guess I’ll find another calm island/instance.

I’m some sort of Classical / Moderate Liberal and occasionally “talk against” NATO but there’s a wide difference between that and actively pushing to see it disbanded which is tantamount to Pro-Russian propaganda…especially right now.

You see, the problem is that I disagree that it is a bastion of Western European freedom. I do think that the West, and NATO, have played a negative role in recent history (or the history of many countries in the world). And, by the way, so have Russia and the USSR.

But this is beyond the topic. Which is the rule of lemmy.world that protects NATO as a bastion of Western European freedom? And, if such rule exists, is it a fair one? Are political discussions beyond centrism banned on lemmy.world?

And I will switch instance. Unfortunately Lemmy doesn’t make it as easy as Mastodon to switch account. I’ll gather a list of the communities I follow, and then eventually switch. I won’t go to Hexbear or similar instances, as I don’t want to be on instances that are ONLY about politics. But I’ll certainly look for one whose admins are calmer.

Peace!

which is tantamount to Pro-Russian propaganda…

Let me spell this out for you: those of us who don’t live in the western world, we don’t care about your pissing contest with the Russians. Go have it somewhere else.

People can have different opinions. It does not make them Russians. It just makes you a sad man who can not imagine people having different opinions.

I’m not a tankie at all. I’ve joined lemmy.world after the recent Reddit debacle. I’m certainly left-wing, but by no means am a supporter of stalinism. If you do care about this place not turning into a shit hole, try to engage more thoughtfully with people.
