Guess I'm another proud ban of the world news .ml instance. Honestly, the pettiness of the mods over there is insane. They're a cult. I can't help but think they're at least partly hijacked by some state sponsored astroturfing campaign.

I am so relieved to hear those bans aren’t uncommon.

I’m new from Reddit (where I was similarly banned for questioning questionable news sources in relatively niche subs), and I was so sure this was a set up that fostered a bit more conversation and etiquette, like waayyy forever ago. So I was pretty upset when I got eviscerated for trying to argue a coherent point there in favor of using media literacy tools in order to help evaluating sources for bias and funding.

I, too, am quite suspicious, given those mods and associated power posters on lemmy.ml, that there is a coordinated propaganda campaign there. Or, there are some turbo-nerd-tankies that regurgitate it at the speed of light of their own volition.

FYI lemmy was founded by a tankie, you shouldn’t be that surprised.

I look forward to helping make them hate their own creation.
