FWIW, the community was [email protected].
I assume I was banned because I said I understood Biden opposing surgery on minors, specifically trans surgery. Although I disagreed with it.
Afaik lemmy.ml is pretty ban happy. For example, apparently you can’t criticize the Chinese government:
I’m not able to access that link. But I saw where criticism of the government was treated as derogatory statements on the people.
Lol lemmy.ml is the biggest tankie instance in the fediverse. Really hoping lemmy.world defederates from them soon.
I hope not. They host a lot of interesting communities, and have a lot of users.
Interesting post from lemm.ee’s admin on defederation as a last resort: https://lemm.ee/post/35472386?scrollToComments=true
And I’m saying this as someone who’s been trying to get [email protected] as a viable alternative to the Lemmy.ml community
Oh. I forgot about them being tankies.
I’ve seen the term tankie thrown around a lot recently. Can you please define it? I’m not quite sure I understand.
Nutshell: auth left.
In practice they’ll stan any US adversary. Common themes include uyghur genocide denial, blaming nato for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Soviet atrocity apologia, the works.
Modlog is here:
That seems completely reasonable. Move on. Take your respectful conversation where it’s appreciated
Interesting. Thank you! I didn’t know that you could look that up. I don’t think that was an option on the Connect app.
I guess they don’t argue with people directly and the posts don’t seem too bad. It’s always mixed in with my other posts.
I didn’t realize it was that extreme. I mean, my comment was literally just saying that a less progressive policy was still “reasonable” even if I didn’t align with it.
I forgot about .ml being the tankies instance too.
I’d recommend not participating in communities whose mod policies you disagree with.
You imagine them as rational because they’re generally on the same side as you. Now you learn that it’s actually a trigger happy echo chamber that only cares to achieve it’s goals.
I guess so. I don’t mind like-minded spaces. But leaving no room for discussion just seems pointless.
Yeah it’s a shit show that place, I’ve had comments removed too. I just left and blocked it from my feed. That’s honestly your best option. Don’t give it a, second thought.
Thanks. I guess I’ll have to start using my Beehaw account some more for some of my news.
Next step would be to proceed blocking every .ml community and joining the equivalent ones on other instances.
I’m going through and unsubscribing now from the few I was subbed to. One had a better community elsewhere since the last the last time I checked.
The only one I’m missing a replacement for is findacommunity, which I asked for on the community.
yeah, this is the reason I don’t write many comments on Lemmy. you first write a comment, and then find out that you have already been banned for the previous one.
That’s usually not the case on other communities
Next steps: die mad.
No u
