Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?

You don't get banned on hex, grad, or ml for it either, either. People should really check the mod logs a few times daily.

Okay.. From the last couple days.

Removed Comment He's also either blackmailed or employed by china (multiple visits including his honeymoon, where he spent the night not with his wife but in the room with a number of school kids that he also brought with him... On his honeymoon) by NihilsineNefas @slrpnk.net reason: Misinformation

mod Removed Comment There are lots of countries, including all the western countries where fewer people answered affirmatively to that question, where people are far more free to express their opinions than in China, though. The most obvious reason being that the majority of the world's countries do not have a Great Firewall. This is what shows that there is a bias in the Chinese answers -- or possibly a bias the other way in the western ones, but either way it means the results are not meaningfully comparable. edit: > What's happening is that working class speech is relatively free, while capitalist and corporate speech is not. That's why the vast majority say they have freedom of speech, while we know the state censors private, capitalist speech. "I don't want to work the 996 work week" is the epitome of working class speech, whereas supporting it is corporate speech. China chose to censor it. by turdas @suppo.fi reason: misinformation

mod Removed Comment More like someone who lives in a country that survived communism and the oppression that it brings and who would never go back. Why don't you guys move to China or North Korea (or inexplicably Russia which you also brigade for). Try living in the utopias you brigade for? by realitista @lemm.ee reason: Rule 1

mod Removed Post Donald Trump said on Thursday the survival of Ukraine is important to the United States, a shift in tone days before the House votes on a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine reason: Twitter links not allowed, articles only.

mod Removed Comment That's a false equivalence. Every country is imperialist if you go back far enough. My concern is about today's political and security situation, not that of 200+ years ago. by realitista @lemm.ee reason: Rule 1

I've gotten banned and censored from communities there for saying that Ukraine should fight back against Russia.

Unfortunately for you, the modlog is public

You were temp banned, usually those are for a few days for the person to cool down. The removed comment was part of a chain advocating for the collective punishment of russian civilians

You conveniently missed these:

accusing people on .ml of brigading a .ml comm

you clearly didn't want to be there and were making it everyone else's problem so I don't see what's wrong with banning you

video link

I can't confirm, but the message makes me think it's because the community doesn't allow video links as posts

Elon Musk is a nazi, I don't think anyone disagrees, but it was because the post directly linked to a video rather than an article that it was likely removed.

My concern is about today’s political and security situation, not that of 200+ years ago

You were minimizing past genocides of indigenous people simply because those have already been completed. You deserved the ban, and it was temporary.

All I see here is hurt feelings for rules enforcement

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I really couldn't care less. If they want to mod someone for criticizing authoritarian regimes, there's no point in being there. You can't say I didn't try.

All I see here is a temper tantrum
