I got banned from Europe community for posting a article that has an analysis that the admin does not like.

reddthat.com /post/38085721

The most funny fact here is the articles that came in the same time.

Zelensky predicts that Putin 'Will Die Soon'

And from the New York Times:

The Secret History of the War in Ukraine: This is the untold story of America’s hidden role in Ukrainian military operations against Russia’s invading armies.

It just shows that Lemmy or Reddit, both have terrible mods and both can silence your voice on command without any reason.

  • Well your linked article can be understood and pretty hard retelling of Russia‘s and thus Trump‘s narrative, while denigrating European perspective and interests.

    The mods aren’t terrible if they try to filter what the consider blatant propaganda from a dubious publication.

    It could also be banned for low quality.

    You are correct that there isn’t a lot of diversity of thought and perspective in many subreddits/communities. The overall extreme polarization has strengthened the echo chambers.

    • This is republished by ZNetwork which is pretty reputable source.

      It's not just diversity, but a straight banning to cover up the reality.

      The community should not be a personal feed for the mod, otherwise what is the point of the community.

      In general, Thank you for your understanding and comment.

      • I agree with others that article was 100% Russian propaganda. Rule 2 of that community is "No links to misinformation". So YDI in that respect.

        A month seems like an excessive ban for a first? infraction though - I would have thought a simple removal could have sufficed. So I guess there's a bit of PTB too.

        • How is it a propaganda?

          With all respect to you, Logic does not work with vibes.

          There has to be a proof, then a conclusion.

          Otherwise, it's meaningless.

          Again, I highly respect you. But your opinion does not make any sense to me.

            Tbh that's a bit like saying, "I mean no offence, but fuck you in the face", lol. Here's three clear examples:

            • The headline paragraph argues that European leaders are delusional and are responsible for escalating tensions with Russia. And that Putin only wants peace. This is a classic Russian disinfo trope to open with, and is in complete denial of reality.
            • Author blames NATO and the US for "provoking" Russia to invade Ukraine. This argument requires us to accept that Ukraine has no right to self determination simply by virtue of having Russia as a neighbour.
            • They accuse Europe of taking a "warmongering stance" when it's Russian military aggression that is provoking all the increased military spending.

            I mean, it's just laughably campist nonsense designed to convince people the country that brutally invaded it's neighbour is the innocent victim here, and everyone else in Europe is a warmonger simply for helping Ukraine to resist the invasion. These are all common Russian state media talking points, that's why it's propaganda.

            Again, I highly respect you. But your opinion does not make any sense to me.
