I replied to someone saying that the USSR defeated the Nazis saying that it was a group effort. Got into an argument and called a Nazi repeatedly because “I was mad that the USSR defeated the Nazis and hated them for it” which is ridiculous. This isn’t the first time that’s happened on Lemmy. What’s up with that?

      Just so you know, that community (really instance) is so biased they literally won’t allow any criticism of your home instance…

      If a place to highlight mod abuse only allows posts they agree with, it’s propaganda.

      Like, of all the communities that bias would be a problem, a place to complain about moderation is probably where it’s the biggest problem.

      That being said, there’s a fair chance you were already aware of that and have somehow rationalized it being ok

        Personally feel that was pretty rational considering the sheer amount of transphobic vitriol those threads always drew. I was tired of seeing them every time I scrolled, and some of the alt spamming transphobia stuff was completely out of hand. If you read the thread you linked announcing it, they also only banned a very specific genre of YPTB thread related to Blahaj, and other posts about Blahaj are still allowed.

        Note that this decision isn’t about ideological gatekeeping, its about reducing the workload for our own mods and admins in trying to moderate this community, and to avoid iterating over the same old topics again and again.

        Blajah isn’t getting a “free pass” over YPTB posts - if you feel they are power tripping over other issues then feel free to make a post here. But if it’s a post questioning the validity of xenogenders or about Blajah bans for gatekeeping then that will no longer be allowed here.

        Feel like you are representing this really unfairly.

          Feel like you are representing this really unfairly.

          If you look at the timestamps that’s an at least 2 year old post that recently seemed to get relaxed…

          I’ve had both those instances blocked for at least two years, and was running off memory.

          But I did take the time to search blajah just now, that mod post is the only post. It’s possible there’s some that just have a community name and are from that instance, but I doubt it.

          I also just don’t really care that much about drama with two instances I’ve had blocked for years.

          Both places are full of power tripping mods/admins, whem I run into those places, I block them and move on

            So you led with a complete fabrication (2 years ago the admin of db0 is saying the ban should only cover that topic and that it should be temporary)

            I also just don’t really care that much about drama with two instances I’ve had blocked for years.

            Which is why you felt the need to comment and lie about them. Sure thing. Any other things you don’t care about you want to weigh in on unprompted?

            Also I just looked and a post about 196 on Blahaj and transphobia is the 3rd post from the top excluding the pinned thread. 😂

              I’m not sure why you’d think I’d have seen that when I just said it was blocked for years…

              But I looked:

              https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/76216189?scrollToComments=true

              The blajah admin saw comments they didn’t like on a different instance, and instead of blocking the right person, blocked someone else…

              I’m not sure why you’d support admins banning people for comments on completely different instances, but I honestly don’t give a fuck, am not gonna try to change your mind, and am never going to see any other comments you ever post.

                They immediately reversed the ban and handled it graciously, but I pointed this out because your assertion was you can’t criticize Blahaj at all on that comm or that instance. Something that happened less than ten days ago, and where everyone walked away happy. Please by all means block me for pointing out the egg on your face
