Personally, I’ve had comments I’ve posted on lemmy.ml deleted for “bigotry” for saying Iran supports Hamas which is an objective fact. It wasn’t even a commentary on policy but I’m still a bigot somehow.
I mean, shit, you even implied I am an enemy of basic human decency for making a mild criticism in a meme sub.
Your first mistake was being active on the .ml instance which generally has been anti-anarchist
Realistically they're generally anti-anyone that disagrees with them. Not just of anarchists, or actual communists for that matter. They just tend to hate anarchists and real communists more. Because they know and can articulate where the bodies are buried better than most others so to speak.
Yeah I’ve started unfollowing .ml communities because I’ve found it’s just not worth contributing. I have an alt on dbzero’s instance that I’ve found much better.
ML aren't communist. Communist dislike them as well. I absolutely understand people not wanting to deal with ML though. They're often just as bad as hard core capitalists. But don't blame communists just because others missuse the noun, while not bothering with the actual ideology. Actual communists are pretty chill and generally your friend.
At some point you hit the no true Scotsman fallacy though
Not at all. Any honest ML, and there are some will tell you the same. Leninism is not communism. The point of leninism was to try to short cut the evolution phase Marx spoke of, with revolution. That they could replace their feudal oppressors by emulating them. Mistakenly thinking that they could ultimately be any more benevolent than their previous rulers. They could not. Every time they tried, the surrounding culture became brutally, socially, oppressive. Jailing and slaughtering those that dissented.
It's the dishonest ML that pull the no true Scotsman shit. Claiming everyone that isn't them is not communist and somehow to the right. Of their oppressive authoritarian governments. That struggle to be even nominally left in any significant way. Completely ignoring the existence of anarcho communists and libertarian socialist. I mean for fucks sake the country most of the ML champion and praise these days is China. Which is state capitalist. Hardly communist.
I dunno. I get spicy over there sometimes. Had a number of comments deleted etc. Though not been banned. I would barely notice if I was if it weren't for an open source project or two having official communities over there for some reason. Hell half the time I only realize I was there after the fact. And while I agree that meme posting/shit posting is childish and unproductive. I'm thinking you might've given them reason to ban.

I checked the modlog because it takes two seconds, and your account name doesn't seem to be in there?
I expected to see you misrepresenting what you said, but it looks like it was just all made up?
Unless that instance is set up differently, maybe if you gave me the sub I can find it?
This is the comment I was referencing. There’s some other comments that have been deleted on .ml which I find fair cause a couple were needlessly agressive when I was having a bad day. I see 9 mod/admin actions against my account on .ml. Can’t speak to why you can’t find it, they’re on there.
You keep replying but you never give real answers to questions...
I just don't give enough of a shit about this to keep going or to get roped into this again with you later.
I gave you the verbatim comment that was deleted, pulled directly from Lemmy.ml’s modlog
Let the record reflect the witness refused to cooperate
You just got schooled in how wrong you were, and you're just showing that you're the exact person we're talking about.
