Fine, can we concede that while they're allowing other topics to flourish on their instance there are also unwritten rules that lead to confused banned users?

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -4 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Can you elaborate about unwritten rules? Most of the bans I've seen has been for pretty clear rules violations, there's some stuff which might fly on reddit (like xenophobia, sexism, racism, transphobia), that will catch a ban here. Having rules against bigotry actually getting enforced is probably a confusing occurrence for some redditors. Even people behaving hostile will generally only catch a temp ban to cool down, permanent bans are more for people who are being bigoted.

I have had plenty of issues with at least one of the admins, despite that I have yet to be censored for saying as much. The red-baiting disguised as legitimate concerns rubs me the wrong way though.

So you admit to paying 0 attention?

YePowerTrippingBastards on my home instance is a good starting place, have fun

Or, you know, play the classic .ml card of pretending you don't know what we're all talking about

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

More often than not someone when complains about getting banned and I bother to follow up in the modlog it turns out that they got like a 3-7 day ban for acting like an complete asshole. Then they proceed to vague post about it months later despite the ban being long over.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Most of the time, yeah. But there have been enough other cases over the past couple years that I wouldn't put too many eggs in that basket (or any for that matter).

vaguepost replies remain undefeated

Or, you know, play the classic .ml card of pretending you don’t know what we’re all talking about

Literally the only complaint of substance I've seen in this entire thread is people who want to be allowed to use slurs

Literally every single comment I've seen of yours boils down to "Oh come on, EVERYBODY says so!"

It's almost as if you know you're in friendly territory so you don't actually have to have any meaning behind your words. You're free to use them as your playthings /sartre

More like I consider anyone who pretends not to know what we're talking about as a willful idiot not worth taking seriously

I don't have time to deal with those who deny reality, be it MAGA shitstains or blind tankies

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's hard to keep up with all the reality you're inventing

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The tricky bit is how you guys have redefined what xenophobia/sexism/racism/transphobia means. I don't mind catching a ban, but at least get the reason right.

You haven't even had any mod action taken against you on lemmy.ml from what I can tell.

Plenty of other instances that you do use have banned you for racism and trolling though.

This one from hexbear was really funny:

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

You are unwittingly making their point for them. Hilarious!

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I mean they never even got banned from .ml, but here's a sample of other places they've been kicked out of, so this isn't really making the case for authoritarian mods on .ml tbh

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Do you actually have any points or thoughts or is it all just mugging to the audience with you?

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I remember that. Yeah, some hexbear users were saying that all white people should be killed. Apparently saying "no one should be killed for the color of their skin" is racism. Or at least according to their definition of racism.

I am so glad I blocked their instance.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml -4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Dude, chill. I got banned from hexbear for literally the exact same reason. Who cares? Let them run their own instance the way they want. They're blocked and you don't have to look at them anymore.

Authoritarian racists exist and want to murder you, welcome to planet earth. First day?

A reminder why under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered by the working class.

Check the modlogs. .ml uses rule 1 as a catch all for whatever is said that hurts their feelings.

Almost daily there are removals and bans that don’t break rules.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

weird, looks like you got banned for the same thing on lemmy.world, (hostility, repeatedly calling people "kids" in a derogatory way, and trivializing the ongoing genocide), but only had a post removed for similar behavior on .ml.
