I recently got a ban on .ml for saying that the IS banning people from flying because they called in a bomb threat on an plane is not the same as China banning you from flying because you critisised the government.
Man, your post has really brought out the CCP shills. It's fascinating to watch people go, "Nuh-uh! China doesn't do any of that!"
I learned a dozen countries are all in on a conspiracy theory in which they pretended China had operated overseas police stations in their respective countries. Fake news!
What's rule 1 on .ml? Everyone is getting banned for it.
Rule 1 on .ml is "no racism." In this post, it appears to be "racist" against Chinese. At least from some kind of a point of view.
They also use "racism" as an excuse if you say Russia was wrong to invade Ukraine.
@Davel@lemmy.ml , lemmy.ml mod who larps an American but is a Russian fucking hates it
No, it is against China, not Chinese people.
"Chinese" is a heavily loaded term, containing nationality, ethnicity, culture and language. In this case it is criticising China the nation, not Chinese people in any sense.
It is racist to link China the nation to Chinese people, because many people who are ethnically Chinese do not associate with China.
I know I am about to be downvoted heavily by tankies but just remember that .ml are hypocrites.
Ableism is forbidden, so you get banned if you make fun of communists.
These threads are great because they are nice tankie block attractors. They can't help themselves from commenting on their non tank-3 accounts.
It's hilarious. I have them all tagged and the same usual suspects always show up like clockwork.
What is "Rule 1"? Is it "Thou shall not have a different opinion."?
thou shalt not say things that are censored in china….
Funnily enough it seems like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml are also censored in China via their great firewall.
Edit: lemmy.ml is still blocked, but lemmygrad apparently not.
Officially, it's "bigotry", unofficially it's a catch-all so that when someone brings it up their more prominent users can make declarations like this:
"routinely the actual reasons people are mad at .ml is getting banned/ censored for being bigoted"
Does anyone know what rule 4 is? I was banned from an ml community for that very rule a couple of days ago but have not made a comment anywhere on Lemmy for 9 months.
My current guess - I upvoted/downvoted the wrong person as that's about all I do on Lemmy.
i forgot but you didn’t actually break that rule, probably….
something i’ve learned from talking to real life leftists is: all very left online spaces, and i mean all, have been completely fucked over by shills.
often just completely controlled by them.
i just got permabanned from lost generation on reddit for absolutely not breaking the rules… they cited a rule, i asked how, then they just muted me from messaging the mods with a message just listing the rules, all of which i agree with….
it sucks but it’s been this way a very long time….
basically just cointelpro continuing.
my guess is you were too genuine and reasonable, so they fuck with you to make you think this is what the left is like, then hopefully you’ll give up and become a capitalist.
I got banned there last week for saying that lemmy mods are just as pathetic and banhappy as reddit mods
in my experience, they’re a lot worse….
stuff that would get a comment removed or a note from the mod to chill just gets you an instant permaban here…
and they’ll ban you for the dumbest shit too… simply discussing china’s human rights abuses that are well documented and publicized is “racism against chinese people” or some dumb shit….
luckily it’s just the hard hard leftists… the places that are all shills anyway (like he-x-b34r)
(i just spelled that dumb so it’s harder to search).
I've noticed mods of some instances will lurk and ban users for comments that weren't even on their instance.
Some of the mods on blahaj do that while using fake user accounts to sow approval.
It's insane what patheticly small amount of power internet janitors will manage to trip on
This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
