    In the past week I caught a 7 day ban for “misinformation” (x3, then for reposting a link to the mod logs, “skirting the rules”, “repeated offenses” etc.) from /c/WorldNews for accusing Democrats of being complicit in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. An actual fact - tens of billions of dollars in arms sent to an ongoing genocide/ethnic cleansing by Biden. No problems like that on lemmy.ml. That really says it all for me. Lemmy’s basically just a fediverse reddit, with the same mod structure - if mods abuse their power, and admins don’t keep them in check, it’s time to ditch the instance.

    By the way, Lemmy itself was created by Dessalines, the admin of lemmy.ml. Who I collaborated with briefly on building some of the UI that you’re using right now to read this. Very thorough guy.

      .world needs a targeted marketing campaign, we just need to point to the very public mod log. The mods at .world do all the work for us lol.

      I caught a 7 day ban in microblog memes for “whataboutism” after I pointed out that leftists were not responsible for the democrat’s loss, their actions would have been wildly unpopular whether we told them or not.

      And if you ask people if they’re pro-Putin and pro-Russia and against Russian crimes against humanity, you’ll get banned faster than you can say “Синдром вахтёра”

      Goes for Lemmy.ml and some reason Midwest.social as well.

      Edit Case in point after writing this comment angry lil’ Ruskitos brigade me and use all their mod power and remove comments like this I’ve made. Very “incivil” to call out Russian disinfo. Kek

        If you go on there concern trolling and trying to start shit, I bet you will get banned.

        But, fun fact, communists actually are not a fan of fascists.

          I didn’t.

          I simply pointed out that [email protected] saying things like “reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias” would be extremely weird for an actual “red blooded, born&bred American”, which he claims to be.

          So he just as an American patriot learned to speak Russian and won’t answer the question of “are you pro-Russian” while actively pushing Russian propaganda?

          communists actually are not a fan of fascists

          Fun fact, both are totalitarian authoritarianist forms as OF now.

          We’ll check again about communism when we get to Star Trek levels of utopia, mkay?

            Someone can be born & raised in America and yet not be patriotic to the American empire. We’re not uncommon.

            learned to speak Russian

            What are you even talking about? You don’t have to learn Russian to listen to Jeffery Sachs, John Mearsheimer, Noam Chomsky or Chris Hedges.

            communists actually are not a fan of fascists

            Fun fact, both are totalitarian authoritarianist forms as OF now.

            The communists fought the Spanish and Axis fascists, and horseshoe theory is garbage.

              Oh yeah, Americans who spew Russian propaganda purposefully and constantly talk of “the West” and have issues with their grammar and English expressions are “born&bred” Americans?

              Hmm… I wonder, which is more common? A “born&bred red-blooded American who’s devoted to Putin and Russia” … OR… a lying Russian? Hmm. Being a Finnish person, we have some history with Russia, and I can tell you for a fact that lying Russians are more commonplace than Americans who are fanatically devoted to Russia and say things like “reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias”.

              It’s genuinely hilarious how you don’t realise how fucking see-through you are. It’s like watching a toddler play kitchen and then make you eat their “food”. It’s hilariously cute, but in a very stupid way. So you play along while allowing them their silliness. I’m not debating you, I’m playing with you.

              ’

              “Russian propaganda doesn’t exist. But reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias. Although Russian propaganda doesn’t exist. And definitely not on the internet. And definitely not on Lemmy. I’m a born&bred American btw, trust me comrades. Don’t vote, by the way. Also, did you know that Ukraine is filled with Nazis and thus we should thank glorious Putin for his courageous leadership in his special military operation. Btw Russian propaganda doesn’t exist. And I’m American. Спаси Бог.”

                  Too bad you guys don’t have better education.

                  This feels like having a boxing match with a 12-year old; really unsporting.

                  How many people do you know who’ve lost family/friends in the meatgrinder Putin is putting them into? And you’re too much of a coward to do anything about it, actually going out of your way to perpetuate the status quo.

                  Eww.

          General sentiment doesn’t matter. It’s when you, for example, point out that [email protected] is a Russian disinformation agent. He is literally Russian, he’s cleaned up his profiles now, but when I started looking into that account I found several alts on other instances with communication in Russian. Like there wasn’t even a hint of suspicion if he was Russian or not.

          But [email protected] account adamantly insists that they are American “born and bred”, while still literally saying Putin is right to invade Ukraine, denying Uyghyr genocide, denying Russian war crimes, posted tons in the run up to the US presidential election about “don’t vote genocide joe” and all that “avoid voting no matter what” bullshit as an intentional push to instigate apathy in American voters to decrease voter turnout.

          Him, antioutsideaktion, it’s rather trivial to recognise them.

          And the simplest way is to ask them “are you pro-Russian”. Davel is afraid of answering it, despite clearly and vocally supporting Russian propaganda, even going so far as to literally say “reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias”. I mean, literally.

          And after saying that, he still won’t say he’s Russian. And pretends to be American? What a patriot, right?

          He’s a mod so he banned me from everywhere he could. Nowadays he doesn’t really even dare to participate on lemmy.world so I don’t engage him. :D
