Badge of honor
My personal favorite is being banned from “unpopular opinion” for having an unpopular opinion.

actually, that user just got banned from that community 14 minutes ago, lol

someone should make c/ShitLemmySays and this should be the inaugural post
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
I would but I really don’t want to moderate it
DaddleDew@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Thanks for letting me know. Just blocked lemmy.ml from my feed.
fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Lemmy.ml should be defederated at the instance level. It’s crystal clear the instance is designed to spread propaganda.
If we tolerate openly bad instances the fediverse will fail. People come here, see Hexbear and Lemmy.ml extremism and bias, then say no “nope” and walk away for good.

That doesn’t mean they are wrong. Deleting something that doesn’t align with your tankie agenda is not ok. That is what they are complaining about.
aleph@lemm.ee 11 months ago
It depends how you’re using the term ‘genocide’.
While the CCP might not necessarily be intentionally killing ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region, there is very strong evidence that they are doing their utmost to stamp out Uyghur culture and forcibly assimilate them into Han Chinese culture.
It could be argued that this would be a crime under international law, where the definition of genocide includes
intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".
Carrolade@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think the term ethnic cleansing is underused. It’s a strong term with a clear, unambiguous meaning that people can still stand against. It does not run afoul of the fact that when many people hear “genocide”, they don’t think of formal definitions, they think of WW2, trains and gas chambers, and attempts at thorough extermination at a large scale.
Ethnic cleansing, on the other hand, begs simple questions, like, what is the ethnicity being cleansed from? Simple answer: their land. How are they being cleansed? Killed, driven away or assimilated into another culture. What, exactly, is being cleansed? That group of distinct people right there, their name is whatever.
It’s clear, concise, and very hard to argue with from any sort of semantic position.

Have you read the report?
I haven’t read it all, but from reading like a couple paragraphs it says that the Chinese government is making mass incarcerations with accusations of extremism and terrorism, while these terms are not well defined and it appears that they are only targeting Muslims for their religion. Furthermore in these jails it appears that the Chinese government is doing things like forced injections, forcing people to take pills and other classics like torture, waterboarding and rape, invasive gynecological exams etc.
Inmates are forbidden to pray with guards making rounds at night to ensure compliance, being forbidden to speak their own language or practice anything from their culture. Prominent scholars, artists and intellectuals are being incarcerated, people are forbidden to leave the region or to receive or send money from the outside.
If it were Israel doing this, and they are doing this, you’d call it genocide, wouldn’t you?
Or doesn’t Uyghurstan have the same right to exist as Palestine?

They would rather cling to the comforting lies of US propaganda
whatsisface@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
China is committing genocide is comforting?
4am@lemm.ee 11 months ago
This is the kind of shit that gets actually useful leftist ideals thrown in the trash by normies
“Oh THOSE people? Yeah they’re all crazy China-Stan’s, who the fuck knows why”
Bro 2% of your paycheck is not more than you pay now in premiums I’m begging you for universal healthcare
“Why do I can’t chose my own doctor? So I can wait in line like in CANADA?”
Ugh it’s fucking infuriating
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Unless it’s life threatening, we all wait in line at the ER. It takes me 4 months to get an appointment with my PCP, and any specialists tests take weeks to get (again, unless it’s a need-it-right-now thing like a chest X-ray for pneumonia). You wait your turn at any walk-in clinic.
Dunno why anyone thinks we have it special in the US.
Oh, wait…if you’re wealthy you can get seen immediately. Guess everyone’s wealthy in the US.

Sounds like you were engaging in whataboutism and that was the problem
Cryophilia@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That wasn’t my comment, I was just reading the log
MxM111@kbin.social 11 months ago
Pointing on hypocrisy often called whataboutism, but it is still valid consideration.

Which community?

comics@lemmy.ml
teft@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Funny that they have this as a rule:
4- No Zionism or Hasbara apologia of any kind. We stand with Palestine 🇵🇸 . Zionists will be banned on sight.
and then can’t see the irony.
stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Knew it before you even said it
Lemmy.ml bans anyone and anything that has to do with even slightly anti-Russia or anti China.
Posted a comment the other day that China was still supporting Russia who were killing innocent people and got banned, then one of the admins responded, and then my comment was removed.
Seems like a super good area to have open and honest discussions and debates.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Time to move on
abbadon420@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Which instance, is a better question. The answer is always lemmy.ml
Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 months ago
And that’s only because everyone has already defederated from lemmygrad and hexbear.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I was literally just on that thread. Blue trash cans all over the place
abbadon420@lemm.ee 11 months ago
A blue trashcan is a removed comment?
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yep. At least in the app I use.
K1nsey6@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Because there is no genocide occurring in China. That’s US propaganda bullshit

Didn’t you make a similar post a while back? Why are you still hanging around those communities?
Cryophilia@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I just saw this one on the modlog, it’s not about me.
asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Either way, it’s pretty useful to communicate this to everyone else.
Count042@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Is there a source for a genocide in China that doesn’t trace back to the apocalyptic christian Adrian Zen?
MamboGator@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The comment I’m replying to is an example of why .ml needs to be defederated. Leaving it up to us to block it isn’t enough because their tankie users can still spread their shit.
abbadon420@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Safe it for your own instance
MamboGator@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Please forward this topic to your instance admins as an example of why lemmy.ml needs to be defederated. Yes, they’re a big instance and, no, not every user is like this. But enough of them are that it’s a constant problem that the .ml admins have no interest in stopping because they adamantly support it.
Leaving it up to us to block .ml ourselves is insufficient as the comments on this post perfectly demonstrate. You can’t even point out their Chinese/Russian propaganda and censorship on other instances without being brigaded by .ml users.
They need to be cut off from the rest of the fediverse. The sane users and communities can migrate to better instances. Not wanting to move because it’s inconvenient is no excuse. At a certain point you have to acknowledge you’re hanging out at a nazi bar, and if you stay there when every other sane person is urging you to get out, that’s on you.
fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 11 months ago
100% agree. Lemmy.ml is a cancer that will kill the Lemmyverse.
asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What community/ instance is that in?
irreticent@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m guessing hexbear or lemmy.ml.
