it’s just a common theme that belligerent assholes will go around insulting people until they get a slap on the wrist from a mod, then pivot to acting as if they’re some free speech warrior who has been unjustly silenced.

idk how to spell this out for you more.

cold warrior got a temp ban on two comms, not the instance (and it’s already expired) for calling people you don’t like russian.

k.

unless it was on a different account i don’t think you got banned at all. i see one comment that got removed for ‘be respectful’ cause you were saying that peoples view on china was without nuance and a sub-middle school orientation. essentially showing up to argue against a caricature.

not as pathetic as making multiple posts crying about getting a 24 hour ban (it expires in an hour) for posting low-effort bait.

i’m just highlighting that some of the people eagerly supporting you ‘owning the tankies’ are pro-ice transphobes, talking about wanting to purge them.

if you actually care about authoritarianism i’d expect you to be a little more concerned about those sort of people surrounding you.

Yes or NO. Very simple question.

i’m not here to debate you about how much people should respect the gestapo, officer

actually i meant this one:

also here’s you shittalking after renee good got executed; fuck ice and you’re clearly on their side

@Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com this is the kinda person you have agreeing with you about how bad ‘takies’ are

these aren’t even ‘tankie’ instances and i can see your transphobic comment right there in the modlog.

it was a joke, as is calling a 24h ban for intentional trolling ‘censorship’

i loved how all i have to do is read the modlog for people talking about wanting to ‘purge’ ‘takies’[sic] and it’s shit like this:

The fact that I got all of the ml replies at midday in China

it’s like 8pm in china right now, how is that midday

banning someone for 24h for obvious trolling is way less authoritarian than whatever rimu’s up to

oh no a 24 hour ban!

idk how this is hypocrisy, you got plenty of responses for some of the lowest effort trolling i’ve seen

there’s also a block component to that as well, his ‘qanon’ blocklist is something you toggle on and can manually edit it via ui; it pulls from a github he runs and contains leftist sites like grayzone as well as sites like wikileaks.org.
here’s how the interface works, you either click every button on the list or edit the database/use a different one

quoting davel here:

domain blocklist, which is not mandatory on install—though most new instances choose it—and can be removed by an admin with either the patience or the database skill to remove it.

relevant thread for what i’m referencing

as long as the technical implementation is not biased.

Piefed has been baking in biases though, like adding a bunch of leftist/international sources in a huge blocklist labelled ‘qanon’, which if you then want to disable it’s got to be done manually.

Not to mention clear disregard for breaking activitypub interoperability.

Edie getting caught up in the ban wave 😭

how dare people read the posts he makes and have opinions!

okay someone had to do it, might as well be me. gigolas is one of my all time favorite ships @woodenghost@hexbear.net

my opinion of mls when i was younger was very much influenced by knowing ones irl who were on the more misogynist/transphobic side, unfortunately common in eastern europe. it’s a large part of why i gravitated to anarchist organizing.

since then i’ve run into mls through organizing who ended up being great comrades (many of whom were trans) and it really made the ones who are sexist seem like the anomaly.

i don’t like seeing the infighting from either direction at this point. it just feels monumentally counter-productive when there’s actual fash running around making lists of us. they certainly don’t care about the distinction between tendencies, anything other than solidarity is kinda doing their work for them.
