No info on who, what or why
Modlog finds my account but doesn’t link to anything to find out more:
mod Banned @boredtortoise from the community World News@lemmy.ml
reason: Sinophobia
expires: in 5 years
Edit: as the larger issue, when incorrect mod actions happen, shouldn’t Lemmy have a system for handling those? Both transparency to the users, and ways to forward the action for an admin to fix
What did you say? Lemmy.ml is known to be quite biased towards China’s regime
Well that’s the thing. I didn’t say anything. Or can’t find what someone thinks I said. Usually modlog links to posts and comments where the violation happens.
My previous comment threads on the community relate to: Canada fucks up yet again, rich people go to space joke, Taiwan joke, democracy indices. Before that nothing for multiple weeks.
There are regime fans in the users, but this is a mod action and calling me a sinophobe is pretty derogatory considering all my love and hope for the culture and people in China
Calling it now: You said something along the lines of “Fuck the CCP” without realizing the history behind that phrase. And yes, it’s use is intended to be barely-disguised sinophobia with an air of plausible deniability. Reddit fascists do that shit all the time and libs fall for it every single time. You’re allowed to be critical of China as a government but what isn’t OK is using what amounts to a nazi meme to do so.
Conflating hatred of the CCP with hatred of Chinese people is so dumb it’s worthy of Hexbear. Do better.
That’s not what people saying that mean and you know it.
… that’s what I mean. I’m always adament that the Chinese peuple are victims too.
Fuck the CCP and fuck you for defending them.
Nah, too rude for me to use language like that. Things can be commented with much more nuance.
Pretty mask-off moment if the mod action is an intended purge tho. For now, I’m giving the benefit of the doubt on a mistake and not bad faith.
Yeah no I don’t do respectability politics. If all you have to say is “you’re being mean” to a genuine attempt at helping you understand what may have gone wrong than you don’t sound like the kind of person the mods want to keep around. And now thanks to this, everyone is going to walk away thinking you’re some kind of racist so good job on that 👍
My advice from me to you is cut the crap unless you want to be chain banned from the entire federation. Nobody wants to put up with that.
I don’t know what’s going on here? I appreciate your help and was discussing it — the things which apply and which don’t. What do you mean with this reply? Is it meant for some other thread? Who called you mean? What is the racism sentence there?
All post histories are public. Anyone can see what’s true. Or even give a link
Ugh just take the L and move on. You know what you did wrong.
What’s the history of the phrase then?
Fuck the CCP.
Taiwan is a sovereign nation. 🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
Why does anyone subscribe to new@lemmy.ml? It’s run by tankies. Therefore very biased.
I’ve thought it be the most widely federated world news community and have shared local news there and to other similar communities. I didn’t know of any mod wrongdoings earlier.
In general, lemmy.world communities have wider audiences as it’s the biggest instance, and they show up as local for those people
Oh cool. Last I heard they had performance and federation issues. Thanks for the info
It’s very stable lately, enjoy!
Are they still deferated by some major instances?
Just Beehaw, but Beehaw tends to defederate a lot
Even lemmy.ml has suffered the occasional server hiccup. Most of the big instances are pretty stable now though
