First comment removed from asklemmy thread about who’s good/bad re Israel/Palestine is apparently too nuanced and anti-extremist for snowflake dessalines. Ya gotta fuel the hate and extremism if ya wanna comment round tankie parts…
The linux ban was regarding a comment (pretty sure the OG comment was different) about Russian maintainers being removed from the linux project. Obviously you can’t call out capitalist Putin’s authoritarian dictatorship in the communist sub, because ML mods are pro-authoritarian and pro-dictatorship; not anti-capitalist… At this point I’m convinced most “tankies” are just PsyOps operatives.
I deleted my lemmy.ml account this morning. Very Russian, in English. Odd. I did not feel the community over there.
Rule 1: All commenting must be by Russian bots only
Not just any mod but the admin and lemmy dev dessalines lol
Oh shit! You weren’t kidding. It’s the actual creator of lemmy. What a sad little bitch.
Saw them throwing shade on mastadon against Harris lol. What a dumbass.
yeah they love trump
He removed my post saying don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour and while at it not set your country back 100 years. In usa community. He’s fucking pitiful
dessalines is one of the two creators of lemmy.
Man whenever piefed gets an ios app I’m switching I don’t wanna support these assholes.
Feel the same. I’ll never donate to those lemmy devs again
Lenin claimed that capitalists would sell him the rope he hangs them with. I use lemmy to, among other stuff, spread that tankies are stupid & russia sucks.
What frontend are you using that shows the admin/mod responsible?
On voyager go to your profile then click the three dots on top right then click mod log
I thought it was visible due an update or community config. I’ve never seen the mod name visible before (and considered that suspect after Lemmy was touted as a transparent alt to reddit).
Now that I’m aware this mod is actually the ml admin and creator of lemmy I suspect he wants to be visible so everyone knows how much of a big boy strongman he is.
This is the Voyager mobile app I think
If that first comment gets you a ban, I seriously don’t know what wouldn’t.
You are allowed to praise the Great Leaders Xi, Kim and Putin as much as you want.
I got banned too… It turns out that if you say that there are some Russians on a list of entities that Americans can’t do business with, that’s racist against Russians, I guess.
TIL Russian is a race
It’s definitely an ethnicity, at least. The distinction between what counts as one race or another is often incredibly arbitrary, and there’s not really much difference between hatred for a “race” and hatred for any given ethnic group.
As an example, people in Japan are generally discriminatory against Chinese people, which I’d still describe that as racism even if both have the same “race” of Asian.
Slav is an ethnicity, or at least an ethno-linguistic group, and it’s much broader than just Russia. Russian is just a nationality. Russians (specifically) are not an ethnicity unto themselves. Czechs, Poles, Ukrainians and Bulgarians (among many others) all fall into the Slavic group along with Russians.
You can’t be racist against a nationality. Maybe jingoist, but jingoism is typically identified as considering a particular nation to be superior to others, rather than inferior to others.
Dude is a huge coward.
In response to the post title, yes but also you cannot say outright that you’re pro-capitalist-dictatorship you have to pretend that the capitalist-dictatorship you support is somehow communism.
It’s communism because people get (rightly) punished for criticizing the state. That’s the qualifier.
As sensitive bitch ass moderators ideologically committed to remaining sensitive bitches, they sympathize deeply with an authoritarian’s emotional turmoil when criticized by his people.
Well technically the definition of communism is mutually exclusive to authoritarianism, the problem is that the important people self describing as communism have been authoritarians for like a hundred years.
Nobody should get punished for criticizing the state in a real communism because that means the state has more power than the people who should own it.
So the CCP is about as communist as the DPRK is democratic. Same issue with Russia. To them communism is a brandname.
Communism is unavoidably authoritarian probably partly because the whole ideology hinges on “just get the fucking revolution going, figure out the government after”, which is so incredibly easy to exploit.
There’s also the bit where the most minute considerations in favor of the collective vastly outweigh any individual, or group of individuals. And importantly; Becoming an individual, no longer representing the collective in the communist’s eyes, is incredibly easy and quick. You’re mentally exiled in the blink of an eye, just say the wrong thing and you’re suddenly standing on your own. No longer one of the people.
It seems you have to keep your language very broad and almost have to speak in a different tone if you want to keep your status as part of the struggling masses, and not just “a guy”.
Like you really have to sugar coat it and lay it on thick to get the communists to feel like you’ve earned sympathy and serious consideration, where you’re immediately fucked again if you trigger their “No true Scotsman” senses, a fallacy communists seem completely determined to live by.
If you’re just a guy unhappy with their governance, then that’s literally all you are. Your concerns aren’t the people’s, your concerns are unimportant.
Again the definition of Communism is just “public ownership of the means of production”. Anything else added onto the term is just your perception. It actually doesn’t even need any sort of revolution at all.
While things like the “communism manifesto”, commonly referred to as Marxism or Marxist Communism, specifically mention other forms of government and establishment as an enemy to communism, the definition of communism doesn’t change. Same with anti-state communism such as anarcho-communism.
There is just no true scottsman in this case. It has never been done and in some specific examples never will be. If anything, technically, public schools and roads is communism, though. As was the Space Race.
I would ban you for the first comment as well but because its to supportive of terrorists.
Typical .ml shit.
