I’m kind of okay with this. It was a reasonable take – not a hot take or an incendiary comment or something. Mods using their power to shut down discussion – expected on that instance I guess ;)
This is my first time getting any sort of ban on any lemmy instance. Now I just need to get banned on a right-wing server for some other centrist take, to keep balance in the universe ;)
How many of you have experienced this on lemmy.ml?
I don’t see anything wrong with what you wrote. And what the hell is “western chauvinism” really? Eastern Europe and Western Europe are simply not THAT different culturally.
The only thing I would actually add to your comment (which would obviously get me banned) would be to say that vetoes should not be a thing in NATO…for ANY country.
It must be getting worse on .ml world news. Either that or they have some new power tripping mods. This is like the 5th post I’ve seen in 24hrs about being ban from there.
It is an election year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
happy lemon/cake day
Congrats! I’ve been banned for a while. I don’t think there’s any right wing instances after exploding heads left.

I don’t even know if my instance is federated with them, all the better if not imo.
We aren’t, I’m still confused how an instance without any NSFW communities is “full of porn” lmao
According to this list, ani.social is federated with both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml.
Don’t show a tankie reason and logic, they meltdown and get very hostile. Weak sorts of folks.

Name calling. Don’t forget the name calling. Agree on weak, add insecure.
Good point. Turkey has been a bad-faith member of NATO for years now.
Yes, I remember seeing this comment. The bias there is really obvious to anyone following the discussion.
Looks like someone might have been a bit trigger happy. 😅 Perhaps “dealing with them” got them into a twist. Given how we’ve “dealt with” some leaders we didn’t like in that past.
Isn’t lemmy.ml full of guillotine memes?
While there’s commonality, guillotines have a more … democratic … historical connotation than secret service agencies. 😅
I’ve had cases where I got Hexbear dogpiled, so my comment got deleted. However, the mods still kept the dogpiling comments and I was still getting responses because obviously hexbear was brigading.
Yeah, that’s how I found out I was banned. Tried to reply to a reply.
Western chauvinism is when you criticize right-wing strongmen, and the more you criticize the right-wing, the more chauvinist it is.
I’m not saying it makes sense…
Well, then you’ll get bann- oh.
turkey and Hungary are from “eastern world”?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_democracy
Western world, western democracy, is largely a term referencing a style of government, not physical location.
“contrasted with illiberal democracies and with dictatorships”
so…they consider japan as western world?
Yes. And Australia. And often South Korea, although one can debate their inclusion in this group.
lmao
I mean, it’s right in the wikipedia article. Wikipedia didn’t make it up. This is largely the consensus use for this term in political circles.
Other potential candidates for inclusion might be Indonesia or Mongolia, but they are not usually included for economic reasons.
Sorry to hear that mate. Same here, made a post about it too. I think it’s a few users with an agenda, combined with an automod that carries out the actual ban, and mods who don’t review. Discuss. Block (optional). Move on.
Also: as the thread gets active, tankie users may try to hijack your post with comments blaming you for your ban, calling you names/ libtard/ govt bootlicker etc. Ignore these idiots. They come out hot and expect your reaction. Don’t drop to their level. Be better.
Tankies gonna tankie
