“it’s a non-political community focused on FOSS and Privacy.” -moderated and controlled at least somewhat by tankies who will delete your comment and possibly ban you for saying things about tankies that they dont like
Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol
Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 year agoLemmy.world regularly bans Marxist-Leninists, it is a two-way street there.
Again, I truly don’t see how Lemmygrad taking the marxist-leninists means Lemmy.ml is a cover for Marxism-Leninism, it’s a non-political community focused on FOSS and Privacy.

Just for being marxist-leninists? Or because they were toxic assholes?

Anecdotally I have seen Marxist-Leninists calmly arguing in politics communities banned for being “tankies.” I will admit, I do not have any examples on-hand.

So do they regularly do this, or is it a thing you’ve seen anecdotally?
And if the thing they were calmly arguing was genocide denial, then it was warranted. The tone is not the only thing that matters.

Imagine if someone defended nazis with “they were calmly denying the Holocaust”. I’ve seen far too many tankies denying the Uyghur genocide every chance they get. Like you say, it doesn’t matter the tone; genocide denial is itself a line you don’t cross.

I dont have data on it, sorry to say.

I do. I had a post removed from political memes because apparently people didn’t like the fact that a Nazi was made a chairman in NATO. Adolf Heusinger

We know that, it’s the implication that that somehow justifies Russia invading Ukraine is what makes you a tankie.

If that were the case, we wouldn’t see a single rightwinger over here. Unfortunately, there are many.

Yes, moderation is famously capable of immediately removing every single toxic asshole in any forum.
