I got banned from “World News @ lemmy.ml” because of “Nationalism”, because I argued that especially Europe does not just send weapons to Ukraine, but does also support Ukraine with the injured, with money and with a perspective after the war… My comment got deleted, too…

Does anyone have an explanation or is the mod just some kind of GPT-2 model with a very special understanding of “Nationalism”?

    They ban people for wrongthink and use a lot of different words for it. I’ll add nationalism to the list along with yellow peril, orientalism, Sinophobia, jingoism, and bigotry. Just stay off .ml, they aren’t interested in actual discussions

      Don’t forget the terrible crime of russophobia, which is when you point out the shitty things Russia does. Only “Amerikkka” bad.

    In this case the morons at lemmy.ml have likely defined nationalism as “with regard to any nation that isnt communist or previously communist” and “without disagreeable (to tankies) opinion”

      They’re not actually communists, that’s a facade for their propaganda.

    It’s the Marxist-Leninist Lemmy instance.

    I unsubscribed because they only allow tankie talking points.

    Getting banned from .ml is … pretty much expected sooner or later, unless you’re a tankie.

    Spend about 30 minutes learning about “Marxism-leninism” and you’ll understand.

    If you can’t be bothered, just make sure to include a comment about how sexy putin looks riding a bear shirtless or how you want president Xi to step on your balls whenever you post on any lemmy.ml communities.

      Not strange if you’re a mod on lemmy.ml and your goal is to suppress free speech so authoritarian propaganda can thrive.

    World News moderation is extremely strict. I’m grateful to the mods for keeping the community sane, but occassionally there’ll be a false positive.
