Apparently "nationalism is bad" is an uncivil take. Unless there's another reason someone would ban this comment... 🤔

Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Lmao
Try this:
Criticizing the US, Russia, Israel, and Hamas all in one go, gets banned anyways.
Edit: Btw, those Chinese students aren't necessary "brainwashed".
There's a chinese idiom called: 隔墙有耳 (Literally meaning: There's an ear on the other side of the wall)
They know everyone is watching and listening, so they don't feel safe speaking what they actually believe, especially not in public.
People criticize the government all the time, behind close doors with people you know.
lol wtf... that comment was not even bad... deff some power trippin going on
the two dudes who lead lemmy development and run both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad both deeply and truly suck at being decent human beings
Ever notice how they frequently respond in pairs as well? Wherever you see one spewing bullshit Marxist quotes and libraries worth of links, you’ll find the other.
