And for the record, there was nothing even remotely racist in my comment. Dessalines just can't accept being wrong. 🤷🏻‍♀️

UPDATE : I am (almost) sad to report the ban only extends to memes@lemmy.ml !

Also, I found the original comment, here it is (and if you see what's racist about it, please tell me, I'm open to being wrong about this, although I really doubt it) :

Lemmy: "China gov bad."

Lemmygrad: Source!? Banned for racism.

Lemmygrad: "USA gov bad."

Lemmy: Nods vigorously. Rambles in agreement.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 79 points 3 weeks ago

Two governments can’t be bad at the same time. That’s just science.

lemmy.dbzer0.com [chad]: “All governments are bad”

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

What's funny is often the "USA government bad" isn't enough, and they have to pile on top until it's ridiculous.

Like, guys, we started this conversation with gulags. The Trail of Tears really isn't part of this conversation.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 weeks ago

And also, like, we fucking know.

[-] kurcatovium@piefed.social 56 points 3 weeks ago

No surprise. Dessalines is the reason I switched from lemmy to piefed once my instance anounced it's going to shut down...

[-] ter_maxima@jlai.lu 23 points 3 weeks ago

Is piefed centered on communities instead of people, like Lemmy ? The reason I only use reddit-like social media is because I've never cared to follow individuals, but I do care about communities and shared interests.

[-] kurcatovium@piefed.social 26 points 3 weeks ago

Well, from my very limited experience point of view it is exactly 1:1 replacement of Lemmy.

It might not support 100% lemmy features, but generally it functions the same.

[-] ter_maxima@jlai.lu 13 points 3 weeks ago

Probably gonna switch later today then 👀

[-] kurcatovium@piefed.social 10 points 3 weeks ago

You can even export your followed communities in lemmy and import them into piefed.

Don’t forget Nutomic.

I’m sure they are might be nice people IRL but they are authoritarian as hell and have terrible political opinion.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 24 points 3 weeks ago

Isn't Nutomic also transphobic? Not sure that falls under "nice people IRL"

[-] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 3 weeks ago

True. I kinda forgot about that.

Damn these devs do so much bad shit, it has like a flood the zone with shit effect where you kinda forget.

Clearly this is all Western propaganda. Solely because it disagrees with Chinese propaganda /s

[-] ter_maxima@jlai.lu 7 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you for compensating for my own laziness x)

[-] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 33 points 3 weeks ago

And the post you got banned for isn't racist at all, unlike what the person who replied to you insinuated.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 33 points 3 weeks ago

Dessalines seems to think the Winnie the Pooh likening is because Pooh is yellow and not because he is fat and round. Which, in a way, makes him the racist one.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 weeks ago

The "Asian yellow skin" thing never made any sense to me. I've seen a ton of Asians, none of them were yellow, not even close. Xi Jinping has the same complexion as a white guy with a tan.

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 14 points 3 weeks ago

I think it was substantially influenced by the traditional four humours. Carl Linnaeus' work was not the first to call East Asians "yellow", but it was very widely spread and influential. He categorised humans into four races and associated each with one of the humours, then describing that race as having the characteristics associated with the humour (hence the equally-odd "red" description for Native Americans)

[-] radix@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago

Mentioning both Taiwan and Tiananmen in one post?

Straight to jail.

[-] ThatsTheSpirit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 3 weeks ago

Being a ml honestly takes so much mental gymnastics...from skipping both marx and lenins works entirely, touting stalin as a legitimate theorist, to simping for nationalist movements, doing racial pseudo science plus the intellectual leg work for large imperialist nations...it seems like a lot of work to me....and all to come across as a whiney sort of racist spoiled psuedo intellecual brat to the actual working class. Dont get me started on maoists who legitimately think that white people cant be proletarian. These two types of leftist specifically will do anything but try to understand what communism is.

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

They're not leftist though

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago

They are just incredibility radicalized

@dessalines@lemmy.ml It's pretty embarassing that you're supposedly one of the lead lemmy devs yet don't understand that the modlog is public and we can see you're full of shit when you claim a comment like this is racist. Maybe if you spent more time actually developing and less time being red fascist you'd know how your own system works.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

This community is blocked on .ml (can't let people realize Dessalines is full of shit!) I'm not sure if Dessalines will be able to see this.

[-] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 7 points 3 weeks ago

And I have dessalines blocked so even if he saw this and replied I wouldn't know anyways.

I posted this comment purely for whatever scraps of catharsis it may generate.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

Lol if you manage to get a full site ban (shouldn't be too hard lmao) you'll unlock this achievement!

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

They honestly believe the Pooh thing is racism because Pooh is yellow and yellow= Chinese racism.

It's beyond them that their chief bootwearer looks exactly like a certain cartoon bear

What was the comment?

[-] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 31 points 3 weeks ago

"This person wouldn't believe the sky was blue unless you linked a study proving it. The Huyghur genocide. Not recognizing the independence of Taiwan. The entire way their "democracy" functions. The lasting damage the "one child policy" has done to their demographics (by their own reporting, not the wild exaggerations of the West) You don't need to pick between the sides you're being offered today, don't fall for this false choice fallacy. Freedom isn't choosing the correct master to serve. If you disagree, I invite you to go to Tiananmen square wearing a Winnie the Pooh T-shirt and see what happens."

[-] ter_maxima@jlai.lu 25 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Wait, how can YOU see it ? Can everyone access removed comments in the mod log ?

Anyway, good job finding it before I did ! I added it to the post.

[-] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 28 points 3 weeks ago

Well, admins can see removed comments and posts. But yes, the modlog is public and the removed content is also shown there.

[-] Forester@pawb.social 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The way lumi works is that it is decentralized and for bands to work across instances... if you are the admin of an instance then you can see everything relating to that instance including mod actions that effect users that use your instance. Nothing is private.

[-] ter_maxima@jlai.lu 7 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly that's a good thing. I just wish there was a button directly on removed comments to read them right there, though maybe that's the app's job to implement.

Ahh yeah they call the pooh comparison racist since pooh is yellow

[-] ter_maxima@jlai.lu 17 points 3 weeks ago

That would be a very bad faith interpretation (so it's probably it), I said that because comparing Xi Jin Ping to Winnie the Pooh is a thing his Chinese opponents do to make fun of him, because he kinda does look like him.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I've been banned from grad and ml for telling them to "stop throating authoritarian cocks" and the reason was "homophobia."

Which is bigoted on their end to assume the gender of the person throating the cock. Also what is a metaphor?

I saw that thread yesterday and decided it was not even worth entering the cesspool. I figured any criticism of China would be dismissed as either motivated or based on western propaganda.

Thanks for trying it in my place ter_maxima

"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"

Welcome to MoG!

Meanwhile On Grad

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!

What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)

Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
