Man, your post has really brought out the CCP shills. It’s fascinating to watch people go, “Nuh-uh! China doesn’t do any of that!”
What is “Rule 1”? Is it “Thou shall not have a different opinion.”?
Funnily enough it seems like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml are also censored in China via their great firewall.
No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
I got banned there last week for saying that lemmy mods are just as pathetic and banhappy as reddit mods
in my experience, they’re a lot worse….
stuff that would get a comment removed or a note from the mod to chill just gets you an instant permaban here…
and they’ll ban you for the dumbest shit too… simply discussing china’s human rights abuses that are well documented and publicized is “racism against chinese people” or some dumb shit….
luckily it’s just the hard hard leftists… the places that are all shills anyway (like he-x-b34r)
(i just spelled that dumb so it’s harder to search).
I’ve noticed mods of some instances will lurk and ban users for comments that weren’t even on their instance.
Some of the mods on blahaj do that while using fake user accounts to sow approval.
It’s insane what patheticly small amount of power internet janitors will manage to trip on
Don’t start with Bahaj, I remember a post some time ago where I saw lots of removed comments so out of curiosity I went through the modlog. People were being banned and comments removed for literally nothing (like, not a slur or x-phobia or anything, just a discussion about OPs topic), ban reasons for example were “you’re not the victim” lol. When I pointed it out in that thread, my comment got removed as well (but I graciously was allowed to not have my account banned). Of course you don’t want to have instagram-esque comments in Lemmy but power tripping mods still suck and the modlog is kinda useless if you cannot revoke decisions
These threads are great because they are nice tankie block attractors. They can’t help themselves from commenting on their non tank-3 accounts.
It’s hilarious. I have them all tagged and the same usual suspects always show up like clockwork.
What’s rule 1 on .ml? Everyone is getting banned for it.
Rule 1 on .ml is “no racism.” In this post, it appears to be “racist” against Chinese. At least from some kind of a point of view.
No, it is against China, not Chinese people.
“Chinese” is a heavily loaded term, containing nationality, ethnicity, culture and language. In this case it is criticising China the nation, not Chinese people in any sense.
It is racist to link China the nation to Chinese people, because many people who are ethnically Chinese do not associate with China.
I know I am about to be downvoted heavily by tankies but just remember that .ml are hypocrites.
