Is lemmy.ml turn into authoritarian?
(lemmy.nz)
I just realised, I can't post anything on lemmy.ml
So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there's a new moderator.
All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned
Is this post just crying because you got banned? Why not just wait the 13 days to ride it out?
Lemmy.ml isn't even your instance, and posting in .world isn't going to reverse your ban.
.ML was always explicitly leftist, and run by communists. They're just nice and try for a reasonably ideologically diverse community.
You clearly aren't interested in following their rules (your use of the racist comparison of Xi and Winnie the Pooh breaks their "no bigotry" rule, and you can't seem to post sourced posts that fit their communities.)
Why aren't you interacting on instances you want to be on, and that want the kind of interactions you offer?
I understand it's offensive, but how is comparing Winnie the Poo to Xi racist?
To be clear, I'm trying to communicate that it's considered racist/bigoted by Lemmy.ml's mods, and that's the reason the user was banned.
While I see it as bigoted, I understand that it's commonly used in lemmy.world (where we are) and I'm not going to police it's use, dunk on the user using it, or report it the way I would in .ML, Lemmygrad, or Hexbear.
The fediverse is an ideologically shared space, and I'm doing my best to reasonably interact on other instances!
With those qualifiers, would you still like me to share my reasoning?
I'm not really to worried about Fediverse politics. Shits ultimately silly. Everyone will end up in their own weird radicalizing echo chambers soon enough, seems to happen in all social media.
I just didn't understand how comparing the president of China to an American cartoon character with no racial connotations was racist.
That's cool, I just wanted to be clear on how I'm trying to interact - it's easy to miscommunicate on the internet!
My issues with "Xi as Winnie the Pooh" center around the way it's presented in the Western internet. Xi is often depicted with harshly yellow skin, and with comically slanted eyes.
There's clearly a commonality between how racist caricatures of Chinese people have been created historically, like this:

You're completely right. Op is just butthurt af
lmao cope and seethe commie
Cope and seethe because... It's lame for OP to crybully about a temp ban, of a single community, on an instance that isn't even theirs?
This is the corniest attempt to stir controversy.
I'm sorry, I don't speak Chinese. Can you say what you mean without trying to be coy? Or do you know that it violates the rules here?
you would know what it means if you had spent an hour actually studying the fascist countries you are sucking up to

That wasn't the comment you left though, was it?
