Edit: Wait, hang on. I just realized I interacted with this account a few days ago. They told me Obama wasn’t conservative because he didn’t strip gay people of their rights; I pointed out that Obama didn’t support gay marriage until his second term, and that he didn’t actually do anything to legalize gay marriage, a conservative leaning Supreme Court did. They then called me privileged and said they couldn’t address my idiocy (or something along those lines).
Anyway, I think I know what happened with this guy and the, “tankie,” mods.
Eh. In aggregate I think it does a lot. Being a strong voice pushing back against propaganda helps. Being silent cedes the airwaves to those who wish to manipulate and silence us.
What you are saying might be true as well but given your uncivil comment history i am pretty sure a mod “being tankie” is not the reason you are silenced in those communities…
Tankies support modern day China and Russia. There’s a veneer of pro-communism but the reality is just anti-Americanism. A lot of tankies pretend that Russia is still a communist state.
All of which would be sad but forgivable. It’s their lying, manipulation, and meddling in other countries’ affairs that prompt the angry response they get.
Essentially, “tankie” = someone who supports anti-American authoritarianism
People shouldn’t get comments removed for saying Russia is the clear bad guy concerning Ukraine. Or that Russia created any number of issues their propaganda attempts to project back on others. If stating objective reality isn’t allowed, .ml is no better than what right-wing assholes have been doing on Reddit since 2015.
I have been critical of russia a number of times even on hexbear and never had anything removed. Its about the way you criticize not the criticism itself
Dude. All you need to do to stop getting comments removed is to stop going for insults as a method of argument. Your modlog would make a Drill Sergeant blush.
The problem is the tankie bait trolls. They insult me, I insult back. My post removed, theirs left up. That’s the mildly infuriating tankie bit. If everything was removed, no problem, it’s fair.
Ah, I think you linked the wrong comment. That was the one where I was saying fascist American nazis tend to do fascist nazi things, not the one where I said tankies should eat shit.
In any case, fuck Putin. Hope his next check to you bounces.
Its more of an exaggeration. I’ve just noticed I sometimes people feel they need to criticize religion. Those comments and posts are usually removed so its not something you see often.
I’ve also noticed that some people see Republicans as evil. That’s not a statement that holds a lot of weight by itself but I’ve noticed that many left seem to think people should agree with there liberal views.
My comment isn’t intended to start a fight. Its based on observation.
So you start with this and get surprised it causes you to be banned or the comment deleted??
If Trump wins, I expect to have approximately 12-18 months before they start shutting down dissent on the internet, and I will use EVERY. SINGLE. DAY of it to remind you third party genocide joe fucks that we are all reaping what you have sown. I will push you into the gas chambers ahead of me.
Any community in .ml is dangerous, got a 3 month ban from asklemmy answering a question. The ban actually proved my point.
Defederating from .ml for their moderation and idolizing of totalitarian regimes would be better for the rest of lemmy… The people that run that instance are no better than MAGAts.
Blocking instances through your settings will only block posts and communities from these instances, not the users from these instances. You’ll still see their comments in other communities just fine.
I was called a loser twice on a lemmy.ml post, by a lemmygrad.ml user, after I pointed out I suffer from mental disorders to justify my comments or my behaviour, and the mod (worldnews, not politics) didn't do anything about it. So fuck .ml and fuck tankies/fascists, including developers.
Just checked and they are, indeed, a crass sort. I don’t necessarily disagree with everything they said buuut I can see why they’d get the day of time out. Modding’s easier sans hostile users.
To me, instances are like countries. c/Politics@lemmy.ml is not the same as c/Politics@lemmy.world because lemmy.ml culture and policies are different from lemmy.world. In this case, go to c/Politics@lemmy.world.
Is this the lemmy.ml politics community? I’ve stopped short at blocking that server, but I don’t sub to communities there any more. Most of those communities already have alts on other servers.
Just stay off of .ml and you’ll have a way better experience. Too much wrongthink policing going on over there to have any meaningful conversations, you just get DAE capitalism bad or TIL everything wrong in the world is because NATO. It’s boring.
