      My only post on r/Minecraft got banned because it was a “redundant post”.

      It was a screenshot of a what I thought was a cool looking naturally generated portal.

      Reddit is the complete opposite of fun lmao

      You’re being down voted but I agree with you. u/danschneidersfeet? Clearly a troll account and probably not the first post from that account that violated the rules.

        To bad Lemmites are allergic to actually thinking about a situation. Rather then just circlejerking over a headline.

        I can see why so many Lemmites got kicked off Reddit, and then act like the crazy obsessive ex.

      I, myself, have just came over here from Reddit because I’ve had enough of Reddit’s bs.

        I have bad news for you. The biggest headaches of reddit have infected the lemmy-verse as well. The days of free speech believers making good things is gone. Because whenever they make something the self appointed nanny-state shows up and nose dives it.

        You will find many of the same kinds of headaches here.

      I know this is rich given that I’m on Lemmy, but there shouldn’t be a replacement for Reddit. Social media is harmful to it’s users. Corporate social media is the worst, but the alternatives, all of them, are still quite terrible for your mental health.

      The replacement to Reddit is touching grass.

      The only interaction I’ve ever had with mods on Lemmy has been every bit as awful as Reddit. People who want to become mods are usually not competent or well-adjusted.

        It’s definitely an alternative thing to volunteer your time on. I’m not throwing shade at any decent mods, but they are far and few between and it doesn’t take much imagination to see the sort of people and the sort of personalities that are going to be attracted to such a thing. Like who the fuck normal, is going to volunteer their time, for a billion dollar corporation? No one normal is the answer, Alex.

          I’m convinced there has to be a way to make moderation crowdsourced where you can build up groups of curators whose upvotes, downvotes, reports, and blocks can be used as a form of moderation.

          I like hearing socialist and communist viewpoints to pop my American echo chamber bubble. When all I hear in Florida is how communists crave the destruction of the US and the death of all its people and anyone who disagrees is labeled a communist, you’re not going to have an educated stance on the matter.

          I started my Fediverse journey excited to read their federated posts. I think it was signing up for Lemmy that I was forced to read more Marx than I’d read before, not to mention recently (re-)reading Animal Farm, and now I have more compassion for Marxists than I did before.

          I’m gradually learning .ml doesn’t federate with others to give a voice to Marxist(-Leninists) who want to interact with others civilly.

          I once dared to mention liberals tend to agree soviet bloc housing was one of the things the USSR did right. I was dogpiled and eventually labeled a troll and banned for a while.

          I once dared to say I didn’t realize Xinnie the Pooh memes could be racist. I was dogpiled and eventually accused of being orientalist and a fascist and banned for a while.

          Now any time I bump into an .ml, they check my mod log on .ml and go on a rant about how I’m a racist and a fascist, stating they have no need to read why I was accused of that because they’re sure their mods/admins are above reproach. I certainly can’t disprove an accusation that requires no evidence - no one can.

          I figure either they’re a community of people pretending to be Marxist-Leninist to make people have a bad opinion of Marxist-Leninists…

          …or (Fediverse) Marxist-Leninists are yet another group of humans who employ bad faith tactics to attack anyone who isn’t them for funsies.

          So they earn quite a bit of hate from the rest of the Fediverse and weaken most people’s opinions of Marxist-Leninists; they’ve certainly eroded mine.

            dared to say I didn’t realize Xinnie the Pooh memes could be racist.

            I have never heard this called racist. If they are claiming that merely because the cartoon bear is yellow then I would say they are more racist for making such a comparison…

              That’s the short version, yes. Here’s what’s left of the full discussion:

              https://lemmy.world/post/48906428/24557933

              Unfortunately they nuked the thread, potentially to obscure the evidence. I can’t even tell exactly where the discussion was because of that, but that was the thread.

              The TL;DR of it:

              Everyone there was dog-piling someone for posting a Xinnie the Pooh meme for being racist.

              I asked how that could be racist. (many downvotes)

              I got dogpiled by a bunch of people who explained that because Winnie the Pooh’s skin is yellow, it’s occidentalist (a word I learned that day) - some going so far as to say any criticism of China, the CCP, or Xi Xinping is rooted in racism. I explained why I didn’t think any of that is automatically racist, but agreed it could be depending on intent.

              Thread nuked and banned.

              -checks community rules for personal attacks, finds Rule 1 requiring ‘be respectful’-

              …not a well-formed stance.

                All Hitler-lovers hate communism, but not all communism-haters love Hitler.

                Depending on definition, you could say I “hate communism” (I hate violent authoritarian communism e.g. Leninism, Stalinism, and Maoism, but not Marxism), and I definitely hate Hitler.

                  Yeah you can definitely do the physical act of saying that you love nazi propaganda while disavowing hitler. It doesn’t make your position logical nor does it make you seem like less of a nazi.

        These are the only bans in your mod log:

        And of those three, one has already expired. Maybe stop using slurs? Because you have a lot of removed comments.

          Nah. The mods in some places on lemmy are absolutely nuts. Ml, hexbear, and those other weird places that are Pro Russia.

          I said something was fishy, a normal english phrase meaning peculiar, and they said it was racism and a slur.

      Bruce Banner is white, but he is not Hulk. Hulk is an independent entity from the other side of The Green Door that leads to the gamma reality and Bruce Banner became his conduit when blasted with grammar radiation. Hulk is green.
