Just joined the "banned from ml" club 🎉
And for the record, there was nothing even remotely racist in my comment. Dessalines just can't accept being wrong. 🤷🏻♀️
UPDATE : I am (almost) sad to report the ban only extends to memes@lemmy.ml !
Also, I found the original comment, here it is (and if you see what's racist about it, please tell me, I'm open to being wrong about this, although I really doubt it) :
( Update 2 : cropped the second image properly )
Lemmy: "China gov bad."
Lemmygrad: Source!? Banned for racism.
Lemmygrad: "USA gov bad."
Lemmy: Nods vigorously. Rambles in agreement.
lemmy.dbzer0.com [chad]: “All governments are bad”
👊
What's funny is often the "USA government bad" isn't enough, and they have to pile on top until it's ridiculous.
Like, guys, we started this conversation with gulags. The Trail of Tears really isn't part of this conversation.
And also, like, we fucking know.
@dessalines@lemmy.ml It's pretty embarassing that you're supposedly one of the lead lemmy devs yet don't understand that the modlog is public and we can see you're full of shit when you claim a comment like this is racist. Maybe if you spent more time actually developing and less time being red fascist you'd know how your own system works.
This community is blocked on .ml (can't let people realize Dessalines is full of shit!) I'm not sure if Dessalines will be able to see this.
And I have dessalines blocked so even if he saw this and replied I wouldn't know anyways.
I posted this comment purely for whatever scraps of catharsis it may generate.
They honestly believe the Pooh thing is racism because Pooh is yellow and yellow= Chinese racism.
It's beyond them that their chief bootwearer looks exactly like a certain cartoon bear
He's more orange than Pooh. Given that logic, is calling Trump "cheeto in chief" racist?
Only to the Cheetos, which are canonically cartoon cheetah orange.
No surprise. Dessalines is the reason I switched from lemmy to piefed once my instance anounced it's going to shut down...
Is piefed centered on communities instead of people, like Lemmy ? The reason I only use reddit-like social media is because I've never cared to follow individuals, but I do care about communities and shared interests.
Yes.
Yes, it is. You can be confused when checking it out because it not only allows you to navigate communities individually like on Lemmy but also bundle of communities for a single feed by topic or custom feeds created by others (likw how people can bundle a list of profiles for its own custom feed on Bluesky, but instead you do it with communities on PieFed)
Communities (Lemmy) = Communities (PieFed)
Topics (PieFed) = by so far what I understood its created by the instance usually and by default when self-hosting your own it will have some topics already organized with feed from communities related to the topic title
Feed (PieFed) = user & instance custom built feed of communities (Lemmy or PieFed) bundled together into a single feed and easily shareable with others
You can check the PieFed instance list here , some Lemmy instances are alreqdy starting to host a PieFed instance on the side too I just dont see lemmy.zip instance for PieFed there yet which is piefed.zip but you can check the others in the notes by the side of their address
Lemm.ee I'm guessing? How do you like piefed.social? None of the apps I use support piefed yet but I'm thinking about biting the bullet anyway
The beta version of voyager supports it. I’m using it right now. You can find the download links for the beta here.
Lemm.ee indeed. So far it's been quite decent alternative to lemmy. I used voyager on mobile, switched to Interstellar, which is not as polished yet honestly, but it's still very much usable. For web interface I find the defaults much, MUCH better on piefed than on lemmy. I disliked lemmys default to be so bad I'd rather used something else like Alexandrite or Photon.
To be honest, since Lemm.ee anouncement my main goal was to ditch lemmy (thanks to dessalines) and stay with fediverse. The other consideration was mbin (like fedia.io), but after some reading it seems it's very limited by manpower and probably won't see much development in near future.
Genocide of Tibetans
https://www.icj.org/new-report-the-question-of-tibet-and-the-rule-of-law/
Genocide of Uyghurs
Oppression of Taiwan
Clearly this is all Western propaganda. Solely because it disagrees with Chinese propaganda /s
stayed until the last hour on lemm.ee
Thank you for compensating for my own laziness x)
And the post you got banned for isn't racist at all, unlike what the person who replied to you insinuated.
Lol if you manage to get a full site ban (shouldn't be too hard lmao) you'll unlock this achievement!
Being a ml honestly takes so much mental gymnastics...from skipping both marx and lenins works entirely, touting stalin as a legitimate theorist, to simping for nationalist movements, doing racial pseudo science plus the intellectual leg work for large imperialist nations...it seems like a lot of work to me....and all to come across as a whiney sort of racist spoiled psuedo intellecual brat to the actual working class. Dont get me started on maoists who legitimately think that white people cant be proletarian. These two types of leftist specifically will do anything but try to understand what communism is.
They're not leftist though
They are just incredibility radicalized
Lenis was kind of the source of the problem in many ways though.
Mentioning both Taiwan and Tiananmen in one post?
Straight to jail.
I saw that thread yesterday and decided it was not even worth entering the cesspool. I figured any criticism of China would be dismissed as either motivated or based on western propaganda.
Thanks for trying it in my place ter_maxima
What was the comment?
"This person wouldn't believe the sky was blue unless you linked a study proving it. The Huyghur genocide. Not recognizing the independence of Taiwan. The entire way their "democracy" functions. The lasting damage the "one child policy" has done to their demographics (by their own reporting, not the wild exaggerations of the West) You don't need to pick between the sides you're being offered today, don't fall for this false choice fallacy. Freedom isn't choosing the correct master to serve. If you disagree, I invite you to go to Tiananmen square wearing a Winnie the Pooh T-shirt and see what happens."
I just added it to the post, had no idea I could still find it in the mod log !
I'm also wondering
...y'all haven't blocked ml yet? The fuck are you waiting for?
The point is to keep track of .ml's moderation abuses and collect evidence of their wrongdoing to encourage others to avoid or (wishful thinking but you never know) defederate from .ml. Blocking .ml just lets them continue their garbage unopposed and hidden from public scrutiny.
people should be allowed to have fun
just made a piefed account, ee ended today.
"Don't forget to give us money thou!"
congrats on your ban!
