A few years ago, the Lemmy Developers decided to keep their political views on lemmygrad while keeping lemmy.ml more neutral. Now they are banning users who are critical of their actions and bigotry.

Anti-Tankie posts may put you at risk of being banned from commenting and posting on the lemmy.ml instance.

    Right, no one in that community ever goes over to those instances, glorifies violence and bigotry, and then screenshots the responses for content.

    And they’d never scour for years old comments and splice them together to create an implied thread of conversation.

    And of course that community would never ban someone for pointing out those kinds of bad faith tactics now would it?

      I make sure never to take screenshots of new accounts to avoid just that. Even then, you must go through a vetting process to post on lemmygrad or hexbear, so your conspiracy doesn’t hold much water. Only spliced screenshots are removing off-topic or non-bigotted comments, I do that to make the screenshot look prettier instead of having blocks of hidden comments to get to the example comment–Likewise, I don’t screenshot negatively voted comments, which on Hexbear, isn’t even an option. If comments are asking for peace from the community, then I don’t touch that thread. Unfortunately, there are never any pacifist, non-extremist comments.

      And of course that community would never ban someone for pointing out those kinds of bad faith tactics now would it?

      You were banned for defending the usage of Stalin emotes, which I warned you about and your response was to respond with a bad-faith comment where you compare Stalin to fucking Luffy from One Piece.

      Do you want to be unbanned? You’ll have to follow the rules though, no defending Stalin or claiming that “it’s just jokes”

        Your community definitely doesn’t follow the rules you present as enforced. It does seem the community relies on defederated instances to harass because every thread in a federated instance can be looked up. It routinely doesn’t stand up to scrutiny when it’s not a tailored screenshot.

        Oh is that what you think was happening?

        The person your community was calling for harassment against had made a Fred Armisen reference from Parks and Recreation with an emote of Stalin pointing and a One Piece emote.

        Just because you banned me doesn’t mean I can see what you did with my posts. You edit and delete what you can to create false narratives.

          MoG does follow the rules. Can you link any examples of it not following these rules? Otherwise, you’re simply lying.

          The person your community was calling for harassment against had made a Fred Armisen reference from Parks and Recreation with an emote of Stalin pointing and a One Piece emote.

          You asked proof of Hexbear defending Stalin, I linked it, and you then disregarded it as them joking.

            I did do exactly that: pointing out the examples. You then deleted and edited my posts and banned me.

            You may not have realized it yet, but you run a hate community, which has no value or use to me.

            If anything I would prefer you do a better job scrubbing the threads you’ve altered to remove my presence from that community. I want no association with harassing or doxxing people on Lemmy.

              Your comments are still publically available, you do realise that, right? You did not list any examples, you instead defended Stalin and replied with “oh, they’re joking” to the bigotry coming out from Tankies.

              Public usernames aren’t doxxing, dude.

              Now do you want to be unbanned or not?

                The deleting and editing of comments is the crucial part you’re ignoring. You shit the bed by doing that. I can’t take any community where you moderate seriously.

                  I deleted your comments because you were defending Stalin and handwaving bigotry

                    You know I wasn’t and you could never prove it. Know why?

                    You have a whole community dedicated to screenshotting and posting that stuff, so why exactly didn’t you do that? Why would you delete the very thing you must document? Shouldn’t you be the steward of such comments?

                    Absolutely mental.
