Banned from lemmy.ml for suggesting spam was Russia

Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

I mean, what do you expect from an explicitly (m)arxist-(l)eninist instance. Their entire religion is "west bad, russia and china literally the best" and censoring any wrongthink. And yet there you are implying Russia is behind a bad thing. Of course they'd take action against you.

Imo fediverse projects really need to federate instance rules. Just include them in the instance actor (if they aren't already) like you'd do with a community, then use them if available.

Fwiw, one can be a Marxist Leninist and think Russia’s government sucks. It is anything but Marxist or Leninist.

I know you didn’t mean that, but figured it needed to be said.

Yeah, but the tankies still love them. It’s weird. Putin openly acknowledges he’s trying to rebuild imperial Russia, not the USSR, and still.

honestly I think memorizing TLDs for Geoguessr a few years ago made me think Malaysia before i ever considered .ml to stand for marxist leninist lmao

It’s Mali’s TLD, they just like that it lines up with Marxist-Leninist

I don’t know Cyrillic but assuming google translate got this translated right: I was honestly more shocked that they popped me so quick, if anything.

Usually, they at least try and put up a facade of freedom of speech. To get the psychological walls down and all that, you know?

Nah, that’s for people posting Russian disinformation from other instances. ML is fully just for people who want to luxuriate in it and not bother to pretend.

Lmao no in general but yes for lemmy!

Glad that the fediverse allows for mitigating this somewhat by design… but this has absolutely opened my eyes to the glaring flaws on the entire Lemmy platform as a whole.

Their rules are on their front page.

Edit: OP said this:

I’m literally just responding to it. Thanks for the downvotes 🤡

Prior to the edit people probably thought they were trying to be snarky about the rules inatead of their intent to show the rules are displayed despite the OP not seeing them.

Rule 1 aka you can’t point out the moderators overt bias or conjecture as to why their bias exists.

Strange that it doesn’t show for me when I check, must be a mobile issue of some kind.

Still laughable though, TIL it’s bigoted to suggest the #1 perpetrators of digital warfare are probably committing more digital warfare.

Well they were talking about the instance (probably wrong) rather than the bot accounts (possible).

Also, is a 2 day ban really worthy of an indignant post like this?

dou9m

@dou9m@lemmy.ca 1 hr. ago

Wasn’t worthy of a post, yet it’s worthy to look at and comment on? Lol.

Genuine discussion is good, which is exactly why I view banning people for saying things as minor as what I said as insane. I’m not just blanket statement assuming all Russians are bad.

Didn’t see it was two days, may as well be a lifetime ban though now that I know the mods ban for effectively just mentioning other countries. It’s bizarre.
