Everyone should know by now that you can't criticize China or Hezbollah, on lemmy.ml.
Ye Power Trippin' Bastards
This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.
Relevant comms
Or China, Russia, North Korea, or anything else that vaguely labels itself “communist”
Its not about them being labelled communist, all that matters to them is if they are against the west. Cause apparently only the west can be imperialist
Step 1: Declare yourself a (Anarcho-)Communist
Step 2: Declare .ml to be reactionaries
Step 3: ???
Step 4: ~~Profit?~~ Communal Property?
Really want to know what step three is here. I’m pretty good at steps 1 and 2 by now.
Declare them Trotskyists and counterrevolutionary!
Russia is even funnier, given that they don't even do that anymore.
Don't use .ml
If you can't criticize the US, Russia, China, Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, and every major religion (the religion itself, not it's followers), all in one go, you don't have true freedom.
Authority is inherently evil and should be scrutinized, regardless of which "side".
(Btw I don't even interact with .ml except a few like c/privacy, also the c/news in lemmy.world also have obnoxious mods)
By separating the institution from its "faithful", you risk deboning your own argument before it takes its first steps. Religion is an ancient method of control, and those within it are all peddlers of some form of its seed — unwitting, or no.
No one should have to make excuses for Religion's altogether insidious, pervasive, corruptive and vile existence. Kill every god, utterly. There is no heaven, and none of us get out of here alive. 😘
This thread has gone completely off the rails. Nobody is discussing whether the ban was deserved and instead there's only insults to the op, or arguments on who's worse USA or China. I'm locking this.
Please stick to judging whether they're mod action was deserved and not rehashing the talking points especially by flaming each other
On one hand, it's ridiculous that campists just can't accept any criticism of their "aes". On the other hand, you don't have to go to the every posts about something positive happening in this hell world to remind that they suck but if you do, I hope you also do the same about positive happenings in the USA and EU or you're just a hypocrite.
were you talking about US prisions?
or do you consider some of the service industry slave labor, which to be fair it is?
The post was about BYD vehicles, but I'm happy to discuss other instances where it's relevant.
its ml, any criticism of china will be censored
being banned there and .world news and politics subs is just normal part of any self respecting shit posters fedi career.
freedom enjoyers setting more communities on smaller servers as we speak. seek them out!
ml and world control too many big subs and they use them to censor opinions that dont fit their propaganda.
this sub exposes how pervasive mod miscondcut is, now we know, time to decentralized. let them keeo their echo chambers
Facts are bigotry
There's no facts in deleted post and on my guess there's no bigotry, it mostly looks like trolling or disinformation.
