I started on lemmy.world, and volunteered to mod a few communities relevant to my interests. Somebody started swinging at me on a post, sounding pretty super right. I looked at their profile and they were straight on some nazi shit. Literally, espousing nazi talking points.

I also noticed that they were mod on one community I was mod. I linked to relevant content and asked admin to remove said mod, and if they don't it's their perogative but I'd remove myself from mod-ship, no worries. I just don't want to share a space with that person who so openly is on that bullshit. 🤷

I was banned from the entire instance within 10 minutes.

Oh and thanks, for the other thing :p

[–] Vode_An@lemmy.ml 27 points 2 years ago

Because they're incompetent neoliberals who didn't want anything to the left of them to exist because it exposes them as immoral shitbags. What they didn't understand at the time was that when you remove the left from your space you are drastically shifting your community rightwards. Now they have a fascism problem and it looks increasingly like Voat did.

It wasn't really supported by their users either. It was a decision that seemed to entirely come from Antik.

You won't get an answer here that isn't just shameless self-aggrandizement.

The shameless self-aggrandizement is 100% true btw

Almost everyone there is a milquetoast lib, but the admins are closer to fash than lib. So of course they hate us. It’s mutual.

[–] jeremy_sylvis@midwest.social 47 points 2 years ago

For real. I've begun to associate "@lemmy.world" with the most average r/Politics liberal takes and talking points.

As a pre-emptive last resort

You know how some options should never be considered unless they're proven to be absolutely necessary through things that have happened over an extended duration of time?

They realized that they had to do that last resort choice preemptively.

(If this makes no sense it's because it makes no sense)

The admin team there had stated in the context of them not banning nazi instances that "banning is a last resort". They banned us pre-emptively.

I have lurked here for a long time, but I just don’t understand the logic here. I read the statement that was linked here, and it just seemed like they were saying that they should be respectful and follow our rules? … Isn’t dismantling propaganda… through “informed rhetoric” a good thing? Why are NATO, the IMF or World Bank automatically good? … Aren’t we just creating a bubble by preemptively blocking a large lemmy instance just because we don’t like their political speech? As far as I can tell they aren’t promoting racism or bigotry. Has lemmy.world preemptively banned nazi or right-wing instances?

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

spoilerthey did not preemptively ban nazi instances

Cryptofascist admins who are cowards, but I repeat myself.

[–] ComradeLuz@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

Cryptofascist

For the longest time, I thought that "cryptofascists" were fascists who were crypto currency fans, since many right-wingers trade them. Today, I finally look it up, and crypto also means hidden, so cryptofascists just means covert fascists haha. I am just leaving this here in case someone made the same mistake I did.

[–] Juice@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

Its funny but at no point were you wrong
