This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly
Edit: I’m convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.
- No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
I’m not seeing it, unless website admins are a marginalised class.
Bigotry is when you hurt an admin’s feelings, of course.
If any Lemmy.ml mods or admins are reading this:
Fuck you. Ban me, bitch.They won’t see it because they censor no-no words.
These same people insist that like-minded adults talking things out will produce a stateless utopia. It’s funny, from a distance.
The lemmy.ml admins who do this kind of thing are proud tankies. Pro-Russia, Pro-China, Pro-North-Korea, authoritarian “communists” are a marginalized class, dontcha know?
I’m actually glad MLs have ramped up the pro north korea talk recently. I was starting to doubt being against these users that claim to be progressive, but then I saw them defend a clear-cut present-day dictatorship.
I can somehow understand pro-China and less so, but still conceptionally grasp pro-Russia. But how on Earth can you really think NK is not a brainwash concentration camp?
Tankies operate on a very simple belief system.
US bad > Russia don’t like US > Russia good
same for north korea, cuba, anything
We could call that the Chomsky fallacy.
Basically, “capitalism bad = anything anti-capitalism good.” And that’s pretty ironic to both support both NK and China for that reason, since China is an authoritarian capitalist state operating under the name of communism.
I remember seeing to mod in the post commenting on someone’s mention of North Korea. First he posted an image detailing the deaths caused by the US and South Korea during the Korean war, and that was it, no mention about NK specifically. Later he said that there was no proof that NK is brutally repressing its citizens. Then when someone said how everyone who fled NK said so, he said how they only do it for the shock value to get stories out and make money out of that, or something like that.
Basically people like that find anything anti-US as good, and if you say anything bad about those countries, they’ll ask for proof and then call whatever you provide fake.
Later he said that there was no proof that NK is brutally repressing its citizens.
lmao
I also don’t see anything when I close my eyes and plug my ears.

Not just any admin. Pretty sure that’s the lead dev of lemmy and the jerboa android client.
ableism
discrimination in favor of able-bodied people.That still doesn’t check out… unless you’re implying they have cognitive impairments that prevent them from moderating as effectively as other instance admins 🤔

Excellent deduction, Watson. Confirming the validity of my clarification that you had intended to make an insult. You’ll be a full-fledged detective in no time.
If you want rationality, don’t look for it from tankies.
How do you see who actually performed the mod action? It always just says mod when I look at the log.
I think you need to filter by user
deleted by creator
You’re correct. I have an alt on an undisclosed wittle bitty instance I use to see mod logs.
Didn’t help :(

Oh I got banned from one of their communities today for comparing shooting down Russian drones to skeet shooting

Thank you! Reading lemmy, you’d think the IDF was Hamas or something.
No, the IDF is much worse.
Are you honestly saying that the IDF is worse than Hamas?
Yup, by not committing a genocide and reclaiming their homeland, they’re much worse than the invaders who already committed one.
(Israel is the ancestoral homeland of the Jews, Muslims committed a genocide when they conquered the area)
Quick question - if Native Americans killed 1 out of every 50 US citizens in an attempt to drive them off of Native ancestral land, would this be:
A. Ethnic cleansing
OR
B. Not ethnic cleansing
?
Who was there first? The Indians or the Whites?

Genocide denialism is probably one of the least objectionable reasons to get banned from a community.

A genocide isn’t waging war, a genocide is actively hunting civilians and making life impossible.
Yeah, that’s what Israel is doing
I don’t know what else you get from Israel’s actions and stated concerns. In a year, they’ve killed a greater percentage of Gazans than Coalition forces killed Iraqis in all ~10 years of the Iraq War. And Coalition forces in Iraq were (rightfully) accused of being metaphorically trigger-happy.

UN isn’t a credible source
Did you really just “fake news” the UN? LOL!
By Israel’s own admission they kill two civilians for every Hamas soldier.
Israeli soldiers film themselves committing war crimes and dancing on the graves of Palestinian civilians they’ve killed.
What more do you want?
So, what would you accept as a credible source for Israeli genocide, theoretically?
A genocide is what hamas did on 7th October
Okay, so you’re just making shit up as you go along.
One attack cannot be a genocide.
An ongoing campaign to deprive an entire population of food, water, medicine, electricity, and any route to escape is pretty fucking obviously within the UN definition of genocide.
Hamas has stated clearly that their desire is the extermination of Jews globally.
In 2017, they changed it to just Israel, but Hamas forces don’t actually use that charter.
… does it matter what they say or doesn’t it?
You’re not trying to have it both ways anywhere near as badly as this schmuck, but you are trying to have it both ways.

Have you been living under a rock and purposefully avoiding all the coverage of how Israel have been bombing these “open civilian corridors”?
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/16/middleeast/israel-palestinian-evacuation-orders-invs/index.html
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67114281
Maybe you missed the news of how Israel have spent millions of dollars on killing more than 200 aid workers.
You claim intention is needed. What do you call intentionally shelling the “civilian corridors” they themselves tell people to use?
They trap them inside, and shell them continuously. More than a 150’000 people have died as just an indirect cause, being denied clean water, food, shelter and medical supplies.
I’ll give you a quick tldr; because I know to won’t.
20 out of Gaza’s 22 hospitals were damaged or destroyed during the first 2 months, 14 of which suffered direct attacks from Israel.
What do you think the intent is behind taking out hospitals? I think the intent is to deny medical aid to the hundreds of thousands civilian casualties.
By everything you yourself have stated. What they’re doing is a genocide. Their intention is to exterminate the Palestinian people. Gaza will be reduced to rubble. Along with everyone in it. And after there’s nothing left and no one can live there. Israel will sieze it.
This little port you think you can use as proof otherwise is nothing but bare minimum to try and make it seem like that’s not what they’re doing. Like a child pretending to cough so they can stay home from school.
It’s genocide vs genocide, really.
deleted by creator
The fault is on both of them, really. Israel had plenty of warnings from Jordan, Egypt, the US, the EU and their own security agency about an attack in October.
Of course, there is always an attack, and Israel is also not allowed to stop an attack before it happens, instead only after it happens.
deleted by creator
Yeah. Unfortunately. All we can do is voice opposition to whichever one is achieving its goals at any given moment - Hamas in the immediate aftermath of October 7th, and Israel now.
Maybe someday they’ll sit the fuck down and figure out that this conflict can’t continue forever. Well, Hamas and Bibi never will, but whatever representatives of the Palestinian and Israeli people emerge from the other side of this phase of our everlasting Israel-Palestine conflict.
Or you can oppose both.

That is a bit of an L take though

If you mean that Kaboom guy, then lol
Dude believes that the 40 decapitated babies lie is the truth because IDF said so
It’s the objective truth. Yes, the IDF could probably do more to protect civilians but at the absolute worst what they’re doing is comparable to the conduct of the Western Allies against Germany in WW2.
Israel dropping unguided bombs from 10k feet from prop airplanes is certainly an “entertaining” thought but so far removed from the reality of precision guided missiles hitting hospitals and snipers shooting unarmed civilians and journalists in the back that it loops back around to being funny in a very morbid way.
Saying, there is no genocide in Gaza in your opinion, or making an assertion about the subject? There’s a big difference between the two.
Edit: Ah, yeah. That explains a lot.
deleted by creator
they both don’t target civilians and they do their best to keep civilians out of harms way
Are you sure you’re up to date on the war? Because this is not as true as one would hope.
“At least some of the acts and omissions alleged by South Africa to have been committed by Israel in Gaza appear to be capable of falling within the provisions of the (Genocide) Convention,” the judges said.
…
A majority of at least 15 out of 17 judges voted in favour of imposing the so-called provisional measures, including the court’s president, Joan Donoghue of the United States.
From your source. 15 out of 17 judges agreed to tell Israel to stop committing acts that “[fall] within the provisions of the (Genocide) Convention.” You realize that phrasing is the diplomatic way of saying “stop committing genocide,” right?

Update: He did it again fellas!
Defedding .ml has been one of the most benefitial decisions we have ever made. There’s so much less toxicity!
Lemmy.cafe is defederated from lemmy.ml? Are you guys defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad too? If so I may have found my new instance :o
Poggers thanks man!
I enjoy reading the posts about how the tianamen massacre never actually happened and how america is to blame for everything and if every country was like China the world would be a utopia
lmao, that’s hilarious. Featured this
GOATed
They banned me recently since I was writing a comment talking about how many “memes” on !memes@lemmy.ml are oftentimes not even memes and just unfunny pushing communist agenda and how I was thinking about blocking the instance. It got a bit too many upvotes from them and I ended up getting banned. So in response I made this meme and posted it to !linuxmemes@lemmy.world
I dunno if scaring people off of their instance’s communities is a deliberate attempt at building an echo chamber or just genuine dumbassery.
Honestly thank god the Lemmy devs made a platform that makes it so easy to avoid them.
