Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

I'm not sure if I get your point, as I'm sure happens to you quite often, are you calling the banning of discussion which is borderline illegal, inciting violence etc, and then the banning the discussion of that ban, a psyops campaign? I had to read comments in your Other Post to get a grasp of the situation.
I feel like you really should have noticed the signs that you'd taken a wrong turn in your life when Hexbear users starting backing you up.
They weren't backing me up. Or are you referring to them?
What happened was I happened to step on an unlucky metaphorical giant hornet's nest responding to someone who was randomly bringing up Luigi. If a form of advocacy is extreme enough, it causes a cautionary reaction, which is the most concise way I can put it. I then mentioned the whole thing elsewhere, but the ever-famous Blaze then asked me to not preach to the choir, instead saying I should tell everyone who was relevant to it. So I did, and that got removed by one of the mods of !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com who told me to bring the matter to !fediverselore@lemmy.ca instead. So I complied again, doing that, and rather than being meditative, the response from all of them came off as vigilant, and then he posited the idea of bringing it back to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com formatted as a "the mods of YPTB removed my inquiry" complaint. So, again, I complied, only for both of the people in charge there to shame me for my way of thinking and implying I did everything I did in an attempt not to comply. All because a hundred people held the position that the CEO's murder was ethically unquestionable.
