Gotta stop pretending "left" and "right" are useful labels to apply to politics too.

There is no “lemmy”, every instance is unique. Just don’t waste your time with the fascist instances

If they told the truth, how could they make a post about being a victim of the evil "lefties?"

Banned for making bad (and kind racist) “xinnie the poo” jokes, lmfao

[–] [email protected] 48 points 10 months ago (16 children)

Question: How is a "xinnie the poo" joke racist when it refers to one individual specifically?
Has it already advanced to be used against all chinese?

OP link us to the comment where you merely mentioned Tiananmen square and got banned for it

I checked and you weren't banned for mentioning Tienanmen square, no one cared. You were temp banned (30 days) for using racist language, holocaust denial, and promoting the Uigur concentration camp conspiracy theory and lying about what your sources are.

Every single time I see these complaints about getting banned I look through the modlog and find them saying something racist or transphobic. This isn't an exception.

The news communities outside of lemmy.ml are probably a better bet than the ones on lemmy.ml, because the lemmy devs themselves seem to hold that kind of view, and they run that instance.

Nobody doing yellow peril shit in English to an audience of Euro-Americans is doing it because they have any genuine principled criticism of Chinese self-governance. If they did, they’d be talking about it to actual Chinese people living in China instead of seeking out other white liberal nationalists to hype each other up about “civilizing the Orientals”.

I think ultimately your problem is that ideas that were normalized to you on reddit-logo just don't hold up to scrutiny, and even the academic neoliberal consensus on most of these issues is different from what predditors treat as self-evident. Enculturation is like that, and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Looking at the modlog (which is public info, you just have to log on to the web ui and scroll down to the bottom).

If you're unhappy with the moderation on a given community, make your own competing community, with your own moderation policies. If more people feel strongly about it and agree with your views over the original, they can come to your community instead. There is no overarching 'Lemmy' to ban you; instances are all separate. That's the beauty of Lemmy.

lol you casually make racist "winnie the pooh" jokes like any random right winger.

I'll ignore the fact that you're lying about what got you banned for this response.

Even the western far right media has moved on from the original Tiananmen narrative, which it acknowledges was false. The actual events played out more accurately to exactly what China has always said they were.

The only people still pushing the original shit are anticommunists and racists because it's more convenient to their goals to perpetuate it.

Try actually listening and learning the actual facts from people in the left and then you won't run into this problem. You're getting banned and ridiculed by actual leftists because you're further right and less educated on this topic than the fucking media of far right conservative tories ffs.

This is what happens when you get your political education from fucking reddit.

You got to be a leftiest to be in a leftiest place, and you're clearly just a reactionary.
