You got banned, logged into an alt, said the same thing, got banned again…

And you were so surprised you had to make a post about it?

You read a post title, clicked the link and scrolled ALLLLLL the way down to comment this?

And you’re here trying to shame this other person for talking about getting banned?

Lmao, typical tankie with the .world sock puppet account.

I got banned from the world news community on lemmy.world because I respectfully and politely disagreed with a moderator. https://lemmy.world/comment/12426224

That’s about right for flyingsquid. Seems like a nice bloke but has repeatedly shown he doesn’t have the impartiality required to be a moderator.

He’s nice when you agree and most his opinions are decent so you tend to agree a lot. But he tends to start acting weird/hostile when you have a disagreement.

I really appreciate his contributions to lemmy while thinking maybe he isn’t the best person to moderate a political community.

You didn’t politely disagree. He asked a direct question to which you earlier said to know the answer to.

What you kept repeating was not an answer to said question, and then you started playing stupid games against someone who’s shown time again to have no patience for them.

Imagine you are an expert in software engineering, and imagine I asked you, “How do you build an app?” How would you directly answer that question?

Moreover, if it was obvious to you that the person wasn’t really interested in how to build apps, but they actually doubt it’s possible to build apps at all and they just want to waste your time arguing with you would never get your app approved on the App Store or something like that, how much detail would you be willing to go into about how to build apps? Would you take them through the whole process, start to finish? Would you point them towards resources they could use to learn how to build an app?

I answered the question quite extensively, with explanations and caveats. It should be very clear that while he (and you) may disagree with me, I am not making these arguments in bad faith, I’m not trolling, and I’m not being particularly rude or breaking any rules.

I’m definitely not playing any “games”, I’m just explaining my position the best way I can, but I’m also not trying to waste my time arguing with people who have zero genuine interest in taking what I say seriously.

What’s the exact text of that respectful and polite deleted message?

permalink

It was a message I accidentally submitted before I had finished writing, then deleted so that I could continue to write it, but by the time I finished it, I was already banned. It was something along the lines of “I don’t really think you’re arguing in good faith here, because as you said, you “knew” before even starting this conversation that I wouldn’t have any practical ideas”, or something along those lines. If there’s any way to un-delete it I’d be happy to do that, if you know how I can? Or somehow recover the original text?

Edit: Never mind, figured out how to undelete it. Original comment is restored. I accidentally submitted just that fragment instead of a longer message I had intended on replying with.

Based. Get wrecked Zionist troll.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkwashing_(LGBT)

Origin of the term

In April 2010, Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism (QUIT) in the Bay Area, used the phrase pinkwashing as a twist on greenwashing, a practice where companies claim to be eco-friendly in order to make profit. Dunya Alwan was at a talk with Ali Abunimah, editor of Electronic Intifada in 2010, when he said “We won’t put up with Israel whitewashing or greenwashing” and she thought “or pinkwashing!”

In 2011, Sarah Schulman used the term pinkwashing in a widely read The New York Times editorial arguing that Israel used the tactic in its public relations. Schulman saw pinkwashing as a manifestation of homonationalism, the processes by which some powers selectively agree with the claims of sexual minorities and exploit them to justify racism, xenophobia (rejection of foreign people), and aporophobia (rejection of the poor);

Thanks for the definition. So basically they got banned for “pretending” to support LGBQ? That’s definitely interesting coming from a tankie.

Also, why are you posting to world news@Lemmy.ml? I think we have established that it is not a good community

Because Lemmy.World news communities are ran by Zionists which ban users for criticizing israel.

Just because Israel is using this for propaganda, doesnt mean that it isnt true(or important). The USSR used american racism against black people for propaganda but that doesnt mean that there was no racism in the US or that racism wasnt important(or relevant to the discussion between 2 global powers).

When someone tells you “gay people should be killed”, i think it is relevant to the discussion you have about that person.

Probably in relation to the blue maga name calling. Many of the low intelligence or high self radicalization people rely on as a crutch. Any time someone points out the vitriolic and illogical parts of their rhetoric. Ole Linky seems to be banned from most the communities I visit. Or at least don’t post there anymore. Kinda had forgotten about them honestly. But linky was definitely the one to say things like that.

That is a matter of perspective.

If someone kills the leader of a genocidal country, they are a hero to the genocided and a terrorist to the genocidal country. The leader of a genocidal country is a terrorist to the genocided and a hero to the genocidal country.

There is a pretty clear definition of terrorism and when you think actual genocidal islamists arent terrorist “because they fight the status quo and nothing else” you might need to find yourself in prison for terrorism support.

Resistance to genocide is the only moral position. That’s why it is so repugnant that you want more genocide in Gaza, more killing in Ukraine, and pogroms in Ohio.

Welcome to MoG!

Meanwhile On Grad

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse


What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)


Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don’t be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia(Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

If you’re violating instance rules, you’ll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.
