I’m kind of okay with this. It was a reasonable take – not a hot take or an incendiary comment or something. Mods using their power to shut down discussion – expected on that instance I guess ;)
This is my first time getting any sort of ban on any lemmy instance. Now I just need to get banned on a right-wing server for some other centrist take, to keep balance in the universe ;)
How many of you have experienced this on lemmy.ml?
It must be getting worse on .ml world news. Either that or they have some new power tripping mods. This is like the 5th post I’ve seen in 24hrs about being ban from there.
Sorry to hear that mate. Same here, made a post about it too. I think it’s a few users with an agenda, combined with an automod that carries out the actual ban, and mods who don’t review. Discuss. Block (optional). Move on.
Also: as the thread gets active, tankie users may try to hijack your post with comments blaming you for your ban, calling you names/ libtard/ govt bootlicker etc. Ignore these idiots. They come out hot and expect your reaction. Don’t drop to their level. Be better.
I’ve had cases where I got Hexbear dogpiled, so my comment got deleted. However, the mods still kept the dogpiling comments and I was still getting responses because obviously hexbear was brigading.
Hoorah, welcome to the club! It is a badge of honor really. I use a separate account to have some discussions on .ml but in the mean time I added lemmy.ml to my instance blocklist and Lemmy has been wonderfull since.
A big issue seems to be that users looking for worldnews get their world news instead of world at lemmy.world…
And yes I sometimes have discussions on .ml as I think some of the extrimist idolization needs to be called out. So that if normal people see such comments they can also read a dissenting viewpoint.
And every now and then, just to tell a tankie that the Uyghur camps are real… Getting banned and doing it again.
I just commented on how Ibis just seems like its destined to be misinformation hub, so maybe I’ll be joining you soon. I got banned 2 months ago for this comment against Hamas (Of course, without ever getting a notification) :
What does a terrorist group sacrificing Palestinians for the palaces of their leadership who assault and kill people in an international music festival dedicated to peace have to do with a famous politician and anti-apartheid activist who did his best to do things the right way? Stop gaslighting with terrorist apologism.
The instance is deep into the disinformation game, to the surprise of no one. They saw Reddit doing this and said “Hey, we need to be doing this, too!” I’m now fairly convinced this is the reason they are investing in developing lemmy (and now Ibis). They win, they get to be one of the top instances and the control that means for their communities. They lose, lemmy is still going to be vulnerable from the code base, ghost instances, and hydra-tic participants.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
Rules
Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it’s name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub’s intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don’t get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

It is an election year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
happy lemon/cake day
You got your wish on a right wing instance ban, it’s clear from the Russia+China fandom. They just pretend to be communists
There’s no way people like that exist. The guy who banned you is playing a character

Democracy is incompatible with state formations. States dominate the masses of people into submission. States are not liberatory
Don’t bother trying to reason with fascists, they’re not in it because they’re wrong, they in it because they like the wrong.
You use these words, but you don’t know what they mean…

I could understand bragging about being banned from lemmygrad.ml …
Let the fascists have their fun pretending like they’re being oppressed.
I don’t think my instrance is even federated with them, so it is harder to get banned there ;)
Corporate wants to to spot the difference,
Its the same picture…
Lemmy.ml is just lemmygrad light.
Good point. Turkey has been a bad-faith member of NATO for years now.
Yes, I remember seeing this comment. The bias there is really obvious to anyone following the discussion.
turkey and Hungary are from “eastern world”?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_democracy
Western world, western democracy, is largely a term referencing a style of government, not physical location.
so…they consider japan as western world?
Yes. And Australia. And often South Korea, although one can debate their inclusion in this group.
lmao
I mean, it’s right in the wikipedia article. Wikipedia didn’t make it up. This is largely the consensus use for this term in political circles.
Other potential candidates for inclusion might be Indonesia or Mongolia, but they are not usually included for economic reasons.
Congrats. I don’t have any experience because I have been avoiding and blocking lemmy.ml.
I’ve had cases where I got Hexbear dogpiled, so my comment got deleted. However, the mods still kept the dogpiling comments and I was still getting responses because obviously hexbear was brigading.
Yeah, that’s how I found out I was banned. Tried to reply to a reply.
Tankies gonna tankie
I don’t even know if my instance is federated with them, all the better if not imo.
According to this list, ani.social is federated with both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml.
We aren’t, I’m still confused how an instance without any NSFW communities is “full of porn” lmao
