Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

I'm kind of okay with this. It was a reasonable take -- not a hot take or an incendiary comment or something. Mods using their power to shut down discussion -- expected on that instance I guess ;)
This is my first time getting any sort of ban on any lemmy instance. Now I just need to get banned on a right-wing server for some other centrist take, to keep balance in the universe ;)
How many of you have experienced this on lemmy.ml?
Western chauvinism is when you criticize right-wing strongmen, and the more you criticize the right-wing, the more chauvinist it is.
I'm not saying it makes sense...
Well, then you'll get bann- oh.
I learned recently firsthand .ml does not take kindly to the word tankie lol
Nope, they ban you for it.
~~They didn’t ban me just deleted my respective comments.~~ Edit: i was banned from [email protected] for opinion that the Chinese gov controlled media was propaganda.
Good point. Turkey has been a bad-faith member of NATO for years now.
Yes, I remember seeing this comment. The bias there is really obvious to anyone following the discussion.
It must be getting worse on .ml world news. Either that or they have some new power tripping mods. This is like the 5th post I've seen in 24hrs about being ban from there.
I once got banned for “BlueAnon nonsense”, and I still have no clue what that means.
I got curious and looked it up.
"Blue Anon" is a term coined by conservatives attacking those who push "left-wing conspiracy theories."
The phrase is a play on the name of the radical conspiracy theory QAnon
So nonsense lmao
Oh, boy… when the mods over there are calling me the same names that Marjorie Taylor Green uses, I know I’m on the right side, lol
The good news is neither do they.
I don't see anything wrong with what you wrote. And what the hell is "western chauvinism" really? Eastern Europe and Western Europe are simply not THAT different culturally.
The only thing I would actually add to your comment (which would obviously get me banned) would be to say that vetoes should not be a thing in NATO...for ANY country.
Tankies gonna tankie
I've had cases where I got Hexbear dogpiled, so my comment got deleted. However, the mods still kept the dogpiling comments and I was still getting responses because obviously hexbear was brigading.
Yeah, that's how I found out I was banned. Tried to reply to a reply.
Hoorah, welcome to the club! It is a badge of honor really. I use a separate account to have some discussions on .ml but in the mean time I added lemmy.ml to my instance blocklist and Lemmy has been wonderfull since.
A big issue seems to be that users looking for worldnews get their world news instead of world at lemmy.world..
And yes I sometimes have discussions on .ml as I think some of the extrimist idolization needs to be called out. So that if normal people see such comments they can also read a dissenting viewpoint.
And every now and then, just to tell a tankie that the Uyghur camps are real... Getting banned and doing it again.
Don't show a tankie reason and logic, they meltdown and get very hostile. Weak sorts of folks.
Congrats. I don't have any experience because I have been avoiding and blocking lemmy.ml.
Sorry to hear that mate. Same here, made a post about it too. I think it's a few users with an agenda, combined with an automod that carries out the actual ban, and mods who don't review. Discuss. Block (optional). Move on.
Also: as the thread gets active, tankie users may try to hijack your post with comments blaming you for your ban, calling you names/ libtard/ govt bootlicker etc. Ignore these idiots. They come out hot and expect your reaction. Don't drop to their level. Be better.
I don't even know if my instance is federated with them, all the better if not imo.
Looks like someone might have been a bit trigger happy. 😅 Perhaps "dealing with them" got them into a twist. Given how we've "dealt with" some leaders we didn't like in that past.
You got your wish on a right wing instance ban, it's clear from the Russia+China fandom. They just pretend to be communists
