Looks like we upset a few too many kkkanada residents over at lemmy.ca. I didn't see a post about this on here, so I thought I'd go ahead and make one.

2 of 4 reasons why are basically just PPB lol, and a third is for calling for executions of landlords mao-aggro-shining

Honestly I can understand why XYZ mod/admin (idk how Lemmy works I just go on 'chapo.chat') would not be happy with people spamming huge emojis and PPB (I don't like it tbh, it's gross! I like my pigs clean) and if that was the main reason for defederation if attempts at stopping it hadn't worked I'd frankly understand it.

But the other stuff (the implication that this is a Chinese propaganda subreddit(?)) is a bit more confusing to understand. I mean I'm not "pro-China" and I've never been abused or dunked on or whatever on here because, I'd like to think, I approach my position with thought and care. I mean I could put more effort into it (e.g., more effort w/ sourcing) but honestly I can't be arsed. But yeah, if it's just "defederating because anti-west geopolitical stance" then it's on them, really. If they want a narrow political window of discussion then it's just whatever...

For me discussion-when it's serious/decent effort and especially when it's sourced-can be a genuine source of gaining knowledge and challenging your own views even on social media like this. If some people are not (and I don't know how to say this without sounding like a twat) open to challenging their own preconceptions and hegemonic culture then let'em wallow in ignorance. There are others who are not so politically docile.
