I can’t figure out how to view my own reply comment anymore, but a /Ukraine user commented this insanity and I called them out — that cornering a sociopathic nuclear armed dictator is recklessly stupid, and exactly what will trigger a nuclear war — and got massively downvoted for “enabling Russia”. 90% of the user base agreed with “conquering” Russia, and thought previous mini incursions across the border are equivalent; proving that nukes are a forever bluff.
The best part? After inspecting several of the mods and users comment histories I realized all seem to have nothing to do with Ukraine whatsoever, and appear to be young pro-war machine North American jarheads (or keyboard warrior wannabes), who sub to or mod numerous other military related communities.
“Enabling Russia? You are completely unhinged. But I’m not surprised that a chudd with a username like “nuke” is a delusional internet-bro moron who doesn’t understand psychopathy. I’m gonna go out a limb here and assume uneducated American &/or military jarhead; all testosterone, feefees, and no brains? What I am surprised is that the average here think that “conquering” a nuclear power is smart. Lucky for me though, the entire western world will drop all military support for Ukraine if idiots like you are in control and actually try to march on Moscow after defeating Putin.”
“I mean fight them back and contain them in their borders obviously, but apparently the average on Lemmy is thick, slow, and ignorant, so I’ll spell it out for you… Once the goal is to “conquer” a nuclear armed dictator, you run the risk of cornering a sociopath who has nothing else to lose and is likely to murder everyone if they can’t have it all. Dictator = sociopath. Nuclear war = psycho. EVERYONE DIE. Triggering nuclear war = dumb cunt… Get it?”
YDI
Those are both edits to existing replies where I was trying to be an asshole, AFTER I could no longer reply and received a ban message. Why Lemmy would let a banned user edit historic comments I dunno.
I can’t seem to view my OG comment in my own history or modlog, or any of them prior to editing. The most asshole the OG comment got was “your bravado is reckless and dumb af”, but still got like 95% / 40+ downvotes from a user base who believe nuclear war is a joke. It’s the first time I’ve bothered using the modlog, and as a feature that was touted for its transparency it’s honestly not much better than reddit. Can’t even seem to view the mod who made the decision.
Why do that after the fact if you’re innocent? You want to preserve all content the way it was if you suspect power-tripping. Editing it after the fact is just tampering with the evidence.
YDI, for being a careless fool and tampering with the evidence after the fact. Here’s a tip, if you get banned by a power-tripper, don’t edit any of your comments, don’t even correct a typo. Edits can be used against you because they cast doubt on what really happened.
You need to post a screenshot modlog so we can see what you wrote and why they said you were banned.
Anyway I looked it up myself. I agree with your point and have been frustrated in the past by the echo chambers in the communities focused on the war in Ukraine but you were very rude and insulting to people so I can understand why you were banned. It’s not totally clear but the modlog seems to imply that you may have sent the mods some insulting messages as well.
So I’d say not power tripping bastards, at least in this specific case.
YDI. You went into an explicitly pro-Ukraine comm to spread pro-Russian perspectives. They literally have the first rule as
Sympathy for enemy combatants in any form is prohibited.

Out of curiosity, would you also argue that palestinians “cornering a sociopathic nuclear armed dictator is recklessly stupid”?
