And unfortunately lemmy.ml is getting more online traffic recently.

    It’s only really a problem when comments get removed or people get banned because they have opposing views.

      Bans are fine IMO, I don’t want tankie shit clogging up my feed. I should be able to block those views and the admin should be allowed to block them from participating if they so choose.

            i realize the joke. BUT, tankies are generally pretty insufferable. Normies, don’t really happen to be all that insufferable, unless you’re a tankie who believes anything other than what you think is fucking extremist terrorist shit.

            thats the point of instances, but idk why they show up in .ml or world in that case lol. You would think tankies would just directly echo chamber themselves, but they haven’t quite done that yet.

              So are non tankies. Tankies don’t have a monopoly on being closed minded, being jerks, etc. lemmy.world is really bringing out the misanthropy in me today, for example.

              Edit: Ugh, was just reminded about some of the things the tankies are saying. There’s no comparison.

        The news@lemmyworld mods admins have been banning people for criticizing the MBFC bot, so yeah, let’s just keep using bans until this place looks like Reddit again.

        Edit: mods, not admins

        Have you ever had a short look at the modlog? Users getting banned from 10+ unrelated communities with reason “liberal”. All because some hater is a mod to multiple communities. Like what good does that serve?

      Pro palestinian comments get removed on lemmy.world. Some people have the same argument as you but about diametrically opposing idealogy

        I have not had a single Pro-Palestinian comment get removed from world, and I’ve had some pretty confrontational conversations in support of Palestinians.

        There’s definitely not a concerted effort by the admins to suppress Palestinian support. What I’m hearing is you said something dumb that’s technically “pro palestinian”, and it got removed for being dumb.

        i’ve had a lot of discussion on palestine and israel across instances and so far i dont think i’ve had a comment directly removed over it. Granted i’m more moderate on the position and not an extremist in any case so that probably helps my case a lot but still…
