Yeah idk why people feel the need to post such things. “Hey guys the Marxist-Leninists on their Marxist-Leninist server temp banned me for talking shit about Marxist-Leninists”.

Like don’t get me wrong it’s annoying when that happens but does it belong on 196?

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 83 points 3 months ago
  1. Not everyone realizes .ml is a Marxist-Leninist server, unlike Lemmygrad.

  2. People are banned for much, much less than "talking shit about Marxist-Leninists". Try "Claiming that Ukraine isn't a Nazi state" or "Acknowledging the Uyghur genocide".

  3. 196's rule is you must post before you leave. What belongs here?

Damn, you got me there

[-] shikogo@pawb.social 4 points 3 months ago

I will have to ponder that

Yeah, but it also happens to be a significant instance with many big communities. It'd be ok if it was hosting only leftist comunities that talk only about ".M-L" stuff, but then you end up with communities like privacy@lemmy.ml where the rules seem to be:

  1. Talk only about privacy related things
  2. (implied) Don't criticize Xi Jingping (I'm exeggerating for comedic effect)

Yeah, having a community about privacy where you're not allowed to criticize one of the most anti-privacy governments in the history of humanity is pretty bizarre.

It's the equivalent of having a community about electric cars that bans you for talking about how much ICE cars pollute or like vegan circlejerk banning you for being an insufferably sanctimonious ass towards "carnists".

I’m just curious how many people are criticizing western countries poor privacy practices.

It’s almost like it’s a huge problem in basically every developed nation and we need to resist it as much as we can no matter who we are.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

That's a whataboutism.

Just because the problem exists elsewhere doesn't make it illegitimate to criticize China for it. Especially since it's the absolute WORST there, with only the UK and the US anywhere close.

All other countries being bad about it to varying degrees doesn't make China NOT bad and wouldn't even if they were WORSE at respecting privacy than China. Which no country is.

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 1 points 3 months ago

My point is not that we shouldn’t be criticizing China. We should absolutely be doing that.

My point is that I feel people focus too much on China and not enough on the US.

I don’t align with tankies. I just have some sympathy toward China because I read a book about it lol

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

I don't know where you get your news, but I rarely hear about the privacy issues in China. The biggest privacy related issue on my mind right now is how American car manufacturers have been selling customer data sourced from the cars they sold. The point you're trying to make is because you're biased somehow, be it from your subscribed communities or whatever.

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 2 points 3 months ago

I avoid tankie communities because they’re basically useless. I’d say my bias comes from the people I associate with and the books I read.

But I am biased. We all are.

  1. These posts have been on 196 for a while .
  2. Every time someone like you makes a similar comment about it not belonging on 196.
  3. There are no rules so grab your ankles and enjoy your time.

  1. What?

  2. Why is that?

  3. What is your problem?

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 4 points 3 months ago

I’m joking, don’t worry. It’s like an inversion of the “furry spotted, opinion discarded” joke
