I criticized the CCP on lemmy.ml and got called racist and got banned lmao

Edit: thank you for the link, Lazycog@sopuli.xyz!

I stand by every single comment that's been removed from this platform. Some of them were removed for good reason, one of them was a brain fart that I shouldn't have posted in the first place, but I'm happy to have y'all investigate my moderation history

ETA: If you read this, and then replied to a comment that's already been removed from a community I'm banned from, you're an idiot. I literally can't interact with you. Why not reply to this comment?

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I've been called a racist, a homophobe (???) and worst of all a liberal and a fascist (same thing apparently /s) all because I insisted that China isn't worth simping for.

What I hate most about tankies is that they are the only true leftists and anybody who disagrees with them is just a poser and a liberal. Especially anarchists.

Banned starman2112 @sh.itjust.works from the community 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone reason: Weirdo who defends genocide, because only young people are aginast it

Thanks for the link and the laugh! 😂

It's amusing to see the average user criticizing .ml while ignoring the bad behavior of others. LMAO!

Weirdo, why im not surprised at all 😂

I boycotted them months back. I came to lemmy to get away from reddit mods.

Here's a list of a few .ml communities and potential replacements:

in .ml	alternative
asklemmy	!asklemmy@lemm.ee, !asklemmy@sh.itjust.works
linux	!linuxquestions@lemmy.zip, !linux@linux.community, !linux@programming.dev
memes	!memes@sopuli.xyz, !memes@slrpnk.net
programmerhumor	!programmer_humor@programming.dev
world news	!news@beehaw.org
technology	!technology@sh.itjust.works
funny	!funny@sh.itjust.works
ukraine	!ukraine@sopuli.xyz

Side note the main issue with .ml is transparency. It's fine if the admins of an instance implement whatever rules they want in their instance; however, once they start enforcing hidden rules disguised as violations of the listed rules, they're being liars and treating the users as stupid things to be herded, not as human beings.

EDIT: as people noticed I'm not including .world comms to not encourage even further concentration of activity into the largest instance. Decentralisation is important. Also I'm adding stuff that you guys suggest.

I had the audacity to say that the deaths of Tiannanmen's Square were inexcusable, no matter who started the violence, and my comment was removed under instance rule 1 (bigotry).. like wat 😂

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 30 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, typical lemmy.ml . They have a hard time understanding that you can support a certain ideology without necessarily turning a blind eye to everything that people claim to be doing for the sake of said ideology, or that any criticism against their actions is automatically false.

I remember you, by the way. You were already an old Lemmy user when I joined in, 3y ago!

memes:

!196@lemmy.blahaj.zone is the single best meme community on lemmy, imho
!memes@midwest.social,

and for more specialized memes:

world news: I realize you're avoiding lemmy.world to promote decentralization which is why you're listing !news@beehaw.org, but note that beehaw defederated itself from lemmy.world and from several others?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Is femcel memes ironic?

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Their sidebar has a longish explanation of where they're coming from.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I'll check it out, thanks.

Edit: sounds good to me. Especially that last bit.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 35 points 19 hours ago

the main issue with .ml is ~~transparency~~ authoritarian propaganda with full-throated support from the admins

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 44 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

The .ml transparency thing is a symptom, not a root cause. The admins like and even participate in the .ml rhetoric. The rules ambiguity is intentional.

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 7 points 13 hours ago

It’s a great advertisement for communism that’s for sure. They haven’t even gotten real power and it already resembles the worst of what communism offers. They’re a bunch of wannabe Ceausescu’s.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 29 points 19 hours ago (7 children)

We could argue that the root cause is that .ml admins pretending that their instance's target audience is wider than it actually is.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 29 points 19 hours ago

Their target audience is Westerner suckers gullible enough to have their opinions manipulated

I only follow some .ml communities for the only thing that instance is good for: Memes making fun of neoliberals

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 10 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

I go there to encounter communists and discuss communism with them. I don’t mind talking to people I disagree with, and until they kick me out I’ll keep going there to talk to them.

Too bad anyone who doesn't adhere to their specific definition of imperialism is a neoliberal in their view.

Don't want to support a right winged authoritarian government that is actively engaging in imperialism......? What a lib.

As long as it's not only lemmy.world communities you start growing. Centralization won't lead to good outcomes anywhere.
