I like hearing socialist and communist viewpoints to pop my American echo chamber bubble. When all I hear in Florida is how communists crave the destruction of the US and the death of all its people and anyone who disagrees is labeled a communist, you’re not going to have an educated stance on the matter.
I started my Fediverse journey excited to read their federated posts. I think it was signing up for Lemmy that I was forced to read more Marx than I’d read before, not to mention recently (re-)reading Animal Farm, and now I have more compassion for Marxists than I did before.
I’m gradually learning .ml doesn’t federate with others to give a voice to Marxist(-Leninists) who want to interact with others civilly.
I once dared to mention liberals tend to agree soviet bloc housing was one of the things the USSR did right. I was dogpiled and eventually labeled a troll and banned for a while.
I once dared to say I didn’t realize Xinnie the Pooh memes could be racist. I was dogpiled and eventually accused of being orientalist and a fascist and banned for a while.
Now any time I bump into an .ml, they check my mod log on .ml and go on a rant about how I’m a racist and a fascist, stating they have no need to read why I was accused of that because they’re sure their mods/admins are above reproach. I certainly can’t disprove an accusation that requires no evidence - no one can.
I figure either they’re a community of people pretending to be Marxist-Leninist to make people have a bad opinion of Marxist-Leninists…
…or (Fediverse) Marxist-Leninists are yet another group of humans who employ bad faith tactics to attack anyone who isn’t them for funsies.
So they earn quite a bit of hate from the rest of the Fediverse and weaken most people’s opinions of Marxist-Leninists; they’ve certainly eroded mine.
dared to say I didn’t realize Xinnie the Pooh memes could be racist.
I have never heard this called racist. If they are claiming that merely because the cartoon bear is yellow then I would say they are more racist for making such a comparison…
Unfortunately they nuked the thread, potentially to obscure the evidence. I can’t even tell exactly where the discussion was because of that, but that was the thread.
I was wrong, the thread wasn’t nuked; I can’t see it because since then I’ve blocked most of the participants for reasons not directly related to that thread (they are some of the bigger bad faith participants in that community/instance).
The TL;DR of it:
Everyone there was dog-piling someone for posting a Xinnie the Pooh meme for being racist.
I asked how that could be racist. (many downvotes)
I got dogpiled by a bunch of people who explained that because Winnie the Pooh’s skin is yellow, it’s occidentalist (a word I learned that day) - some going so far as to say any criticism of China, the CCP, or Xi Xinping is rooted in racism. I explained why I didn’t think any of that is automatically racist, but agreed it could be depending on intent. They said “being anti-communist and being racist tend to have much overlap.” They did some poking and prodding and assuming as far as why I’m anti-CCP, and then the thread devolved into Uighur genocide denial.
All Hitler-lovers hate communism, but not all communism-haters love Hitler.
Depending on definition, you could say I “hate communism” (I hate violent authoritarian communism e.g. Leninism, Stalinism, and Maoism, but not Marxism), and I definitely hate Hitler.
Yeah you can definitely do the physical act of saying that you love nazi propaganda while disavowing hitler. It doesn’t make your position logical nor does it make you seem like less of a nazi.
If i were in a room with both of them I’d shoot one (either) in the gut and then shoot myself so thag I wouldn’t have to suffer through being around the other.
Its so funny that you can see exactly what people did to get banned, personally the worst thing i got banned for is ‘apolitical’, ‘joke comments’ and ‘trolling’
Lemmy mods do the same thing…
ml is notorious for censorship.

Just found out I was banned from startrek.website/c/risa because some mod didn’t like a comment I made on a different instance entirely lmao
Really? Which? I’ve only seen this on LW’s selfhosted and anything by DB0
.ML

That’s the short version, yes. Here’s what’s left of the full discussion:

They then removed all my comments and banned me.
If I was in a room with Hitler and Marx and I had a gun with two bullets, I’d shoot Marx twice.
Yeah, anti-communists tend to love hitler, you don’t have to repeat yourself so much.
All Hitler-lovers hate communism, but not all communism-haters love Hitler.

… the fuck?
This some kinda silly obvious and intentional straw-man or are you going to follow it up with some kind of explanation?
That’s…
-checks community rules for personal attacks, finds Rule 1 requiring ‘be respectful’-
…not a well-formed stance.

Marx is definitely not as bad as Hitler. What are you two on about?
I never had problems with DB0 even before i was using their instance as home though i did have problems with lemmy.world
LW? Less Wrong? What does LW mean?
lemmy world
Lotta weed
Thanks
yeah i got banned from lemmy.world
These are the only bans in your mod log:
And of those three, one has already expired. Maybe stop using slurs? Because you have a lot of removed comments.
Lmao this is actually hilarious. Bro just won’t stop using slurs
Nah. The mods in some places on lemmy are absolutely nuts. Ml, hexbear, and those other weird places that are Pro Russia.
I said something was fishy, a normal english phrase meaning peculiar, and they said it was racism and a slur.
Tankies gonna’ tank.
Getting banned from those spaces is just kind of a right of passage. It’s the lemmy equivalent of getting banned from r/conservative. It just happens.
I don’t see a instance wide ban in your modlog but I do see LOTS of action on you throwing around slurs.
Its so funny that you can see exactly what people did to get banned, personally the worst thing i got banned for is ‘apolitical’, ‘joke comments’ and ‘trolling’
Acts like an idiot, gets mad about consequences.
How are you this dumb?
I guess I’m retarded
