It’s only really a problem when comments get removed or people get banned because they have opposing views.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 14 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Bans are fine IMO, I don't want tankie shit clogging up my feed. I should be able to block those views and the admin should be allowed to block them from participating if they so choose.

Its about tankies banning non tankies.

It's different when our side does it

i realize the joke. BUT, tankies are generally pretty insufferable. Normies, don't really happen to be all that insufferable, unless you're a tankie who believes anything other than what you think is fucking extremist terrorist shit.

thats the point of instances, but idk why they show up in .ml or world in that case lol. You would think tankies would just directly echo chamber themselves, but they haven't quite done that yet.

So are non tankies. Tankies don't have a monopoly on being closed minded, being jerks, etc. lemmy.world is really bringing out the misanthropy in me today, for example.

Edit: Ugh, was just reminded about some of the things the tankies are saying. There's no comparison.

classic tankie experience "surely the tankies aren't SO bad" "oh"

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, like banning the KKK makes me the intolerant one.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 10 points 10 months ago

Have you ever had a short look at the modlog? Users getting banned from 10+ unrelated communities with reason "liberal". All because some hater is a mod to multiple communities. Like what good does that serve?

Pro palestinian comments get removed on lemmy.world. Some people have the same argument as you but about diametrically opposing idealogy

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have not had a single Pro-Palestinian comment get removed from world, and I've had some pretty confrontational conversations in support of Palestinians.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

That's been my experience as well

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 10 months ago

There's definitely not a concerted effort by the admins to suppress Palestinian support. What I'm hearing is you said something dumb that's technically "pro palestinian", and it got removed for being dumb.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Have an example? It should be in the modlog.

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As the top comment points out, they banned Linkerbaan. You could argue it was a public service.

[–] eskimofry@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I don't agree with that user on most of the stuff but when it comes to israel you guys make them look like a normal person.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

That's a lot of context to read through. Thank you for the link.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

i've had a lot of discussion on palestine and israel across instances and so far i dont think i've had a comment directly removed over it. Granted i'm more moderate on the position and not an extremist in any case so that probably helps my case a lot but still...
