Gotta stop confusing CCP supporters for leftists

[-] Starshader@lemmy.ml 63 points 11 months ago

Of course, but I didn't thought there were so many of them here.

Just like neighborhoods in real life, you have to find a neighborhood you like. I wish it was more explained when you first sign up, but it does matter what instance you make your home. That instance decides what's on your front page and the tone of your stay on Lemmy. Lemmy.ml is not a good fit for you it seems like, so try another neighborhood (or instance).

Gotta stop pretending "left" and "right" are useful labels to apply to politics too.

[-] Anamana@feddit.de 28 points 11 months ago

They are useful, but as any other category they can be instrumentalized.

There is no “lemmy”, every instance is unique. Just don’t waste your time with the fascist instances

If they told the truth, how could they make a post about being a victim of the evil "lefties?"

Banned for making bad (and kind racist) “xinnie the poo” jokes, lmfao

[-] Lath@kbin.social 54 points 11 months ago

Question: How is a "xinnie the poo" joke racist when it refers to one individual specifically?
Has it already advanced to be used against all chinese?

Every single time I see these complaints about getting banned I look through the modlog and find them saying something racist or transphobic. This isn't an exception.

The news communities outside of lemmy.ml are probably a better bet than the ones on lemmy.ml, because the lemmy devs themselves seem to hold that kind of view, and they run that instance.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 48 points 11 months ago

Looking at the modlog (which is public info, you just have to log on to the web ui and scroll down to the bottom).

If you're unhappy with the moderation on a given community, make your own competing community, with your own moderation policies. If more people feel strongly about it and agree with your views over the original, they can come to your community instead. There is no overarching 'Lemmy' to ban you; instances are all separate. That's the beauty of Lemmy.

I think ultimately your problem is that ideas that were normalized to you on reddit-logo just don't hold up to scrutiny, and even the academic neoliberal consensus on most of these issues is different from what predditors treat as self-evident. Enculturation is like that, and I wish you a speedy recovery.
