“Every now and then, the .ml side of this community comes through with these inaccurate tankle memes. You win some, you lose some I guess”
That’s the whole comment I wrote. If you are going to report it, at least do it correctly please.
Why indeed. I’d never create an account over there, I agree with you.
Sadly every user on Lemmy learned or will learn at their expense that interacting with most users from ml, hexbear and the likes, brings nothing positive on most occasions.
I had hoped that maybe something was done since last time I checked, but I guess I was wrong 😅
I posted here because it happened on lemmy.ml
But sadly, considering this is not the first time I’ve had the displeasure of interacting with your run of the mill, power tripping mod from ml, I won’t hold my breath waiting for their assistance I guess.
It sucks that such a large instance as no accountability though. I’d imagine it must sucks for new users having to learn on their own to be aware of the usual instances
Ugh, why did I ever bother replying to such a dick?
Considering how much fascism is on the rise globally and the results in the latest US election, most people do not in fact recognize fascism. Nor see it as the threat it is
You don’t.
That’s the whole point of Reddit
And their scare tactics worked so well that now people voted for the Republicans to remove “Obamacare” even if they need it to live…
So ignorance is also part of the answer sadly
In this moment of rising tensions and with a lot of countries turning to populist right wingers (if not straight up fascists), spineless liberals who only care about money are not going to provide any effective leadership for anyone.
No, you most definitely did not get it
Advocates are urging the Biden administration to act quickly
Why? The Liberals and Democrats as a whole acted as if everything was fine for the past 4 years. They only appointed Jack Smith 2 years after Jan 6.
They don’t need to act quickly because they are not the ones facing the bulk of consequences. Biden did not and could not care less because his party doesn’t see fascism as the existential threat that it is
Edit: if you think I’m exaggerating, remember when a few weeks before dropping out, Biden explicitily said that if he lost against Trump, he would’ve been happy with himself because at least he gave it all? Yeah. That’s not the reaction of someone who truly sees fascism as a cancer to society and democracy
You’re not a traitor. You are just proving the point I made below in my comments about not knowing anything about the user and mindlessly accusing them. You’re also just talking about unrelated stuff since nobody has mentioned Putin, so miss me with your scare tactics and focus on what we’re talking about instead of going off your own tangent. Do better
That’s literally what they wrote. I even quoted them. At least read the whole comment before writing nonsense
My friend, Reddit is still a worse option in my opinion.
I mean, I literally came on this post and started calling out the mod. But you see what they did?
I wasn’t banned. My comments weren’t deleted. Instead they engaged my talking points and tried to offer their opinion instead. I didn’t call them an asshole, they didn’t call me an idiot. We are just talking and disagreeing.
You are never going to find anything like that over Reddit.
Feel free to browse around the different instances though. You might disagree with the mod of this community and/or instance, but you can always find a different one that better fits your views if you think this is a dealbreaker for you.
Finally, Lemmy is very young compared to Reddit. It doesn’t have nearly the same amount of tools available to mods, and yet it’s already more transparent with its mod logs being so open and accessible.
Welcome to Lemmy by the way! We are trying our best lol
I’m not skeptical. I know exactly what I said and your paternalistic tone is not necessary. You’re not the only one who heard of the Nazi, you know? We are all very aware.
It’s not even about the post itself (even though it’s an extremely low effort screenshot). It’s about the fact that, a community that is supposed to showcase the best of Lemmy, is:
It’s literally just a screenshot of a comment with 4 upvotes that is proudly saying “follow my reasoning and stfu. Otherwise you hate your country”. And the mod is in the comments saying “yeah, agree with this and myself or I’ll delete your comment. I might ban you too depending on how I feel. After all, this is not a conversation”.
And you can tell this is exactly what is happening because every single user that is pointing out how hypocritical and low effort this is, is getting downvoted to hell and called a fascist. And keep in mind, you don’t even know how I’m going to vote in all of this. You and most users here are just attacking other users because they are voicing a different opion than “vote for Harris or you’re a traitor”…Now THAT is truly the best of Lemmy: mindlessly downvoting and replying with a snarky joke.
So to you, the best of Lemmy is “vote for my candidate or you’re a traitor”? And ON TOP OF THAT, you want people to accept it or get their comment deleted? What kind of reasoning is that? You could just remove such an obviously inflammatory post instead of acting in such way. Especially since you literally admitted this is not to encourage a conversation or a debate:
This isn’t a debate subsite, or debate community. I’m not necessarily interested in having everyone here complete their back-and-forth discussion (especially if it gets heated, swear words, accusatory tones, etc. etc.).
I’m sure new users will love to see this kind of behavior by the mods of this community
As I wrote, this is not the first time I encountered such behavior. And while you might not care, I was curious to know if there were better solutions than just accepting these kind of things passively.
To me it is wrong for such prominent instances to always be the ones getting away with this type of behavior
