FWIW, the community was worldnews@lemmy.ml.

I assume I was banned because I said I understood Biden opposing surgery on minors, specifically trans surgery. Although I disagreed with it.

Afaik lemmy.ml is pretty ban happy. For example, apparently you can’t criticize the Chinese government:

I’m not able to access that link. But I saw where criticism of the government was treated as derogatory statements on the people.

Lol lemmy.ml is the biggest tankie instance in the fediverse. Really hoping lemmy.world defederates from them soon.

I hope not. They host a lot of interesting communities, and have a lot of users.

Interesting post from lemm.ee’s admin on defederation as a last resort: https://lemm.ee/post/35472386?scrollToComments=true

And I’m saying this as someone who’s been trying to get !linux@programming.dev as a viable alternative to the Lemmy.ml community

lemmy.ml is a tankie community, so this is not that surprising. It’s a matter of time before I get banned from there too lol.

I’ve seen the term tankie thrown around a lot recently. Can you please define it? I’m not quite sure I understand.

Nutshell: auth left.

In practice they’ll stan any US adversary. Common themes include uyghur genocide denial, blaming nato for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Soviet atrocity apologia, the works.

Interesting. Thank you! I didn’t know that you could look that up. I don’t think that was an option on the Connect app.
