I started on lemmy.world, and volunteered to mod a few communities relevant to my interests. Somebody started swinging at me on a post, sounding pretty super right. I looked at their profile and they were straight on some nazi shit. Literally, espousing nazi talking points.

I also noticed that they were mod on one community I was mod. I linked to relevant content and asked admin to remove said mod, and if they don't it's their perogative but I'd remove myself from mod-ship, no worries. I just don't want to share a space with that person who so openly is on that bullshit. 🀷

I was banned from the entire instance within 10 minutes.

Oh and thanks, for the other thing :p

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

Seeing them live must have been amazing. Cheers

Because they're incompetent neoliberals who didn't want anything to the left of them to exist because it exposes them as immoral shitbags. What they didn't understand at the time was that when you remove the left from your space you are drastically shifting your community rightwards. Now they have a fascism problem and it looks increasingly like Voat did.

It wasn't really supported by their users either. It was a decision that seemed to entirely come from Antik.

I am new here, adn I keep wondering how can I display those cool emojis like the one with the bear you just did. I cannot find any options for it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I dunno what the right way is but I type a : and then that pops up a like search thing that lets you pick one. Once you pick one it pops this big long string of bullshit into your post that becomes an emoji. So for example if you type :sicko you get a bunch of stuff like party-sicko

You won't get an answer here that isn't just shameless self-aggrandizement.

I posted "fellas is it gay to confederate" and we got instablocked

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Almost everyone there is a milquetoast lib, but the admins are closer to fash than lib. So of course they hate us. It’s mutual.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 years ago

For real. I've begun to associate "@lemmy.world" with the most average r/Politics liberal takes and talking points.

As a pre-emptive last resort

You know how some options should never be considered unless they're proven to be absolutely necessary through things that have happened over an extended duration of time?

They realized that they had to do that last resort choice preemptively.

(If this makes no sense it's because it makes no sense)

The admin team there had stated in the context of them not banning nazi instances that "banning is a last resort". They banned us pre-emptively.

I have lurked here for a long time, but I just don’t understand the logic here. I read the statement that was linked here, and it just seemed like they were saying that they should be respectful and follow our rules? … Isn’t dismantling propaganda… through β€œinformed rhetoric” a good thing? Why are NATO, the IMF or World Bank automatically good? … Aren’t we just creating a bubble by preemptively blocking a large lemmy instance just because we don’t like their political speech? As far as I can tell they aren’t promoting racism or bigotry. Has lemmy.world preemptively banned nazi or right-wing instances?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago

spoilerthey did not preemptively ban nazi instances

They did? Lol liberals are cowards

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cryptofascist admins who are cowards, but I repeat myself.

Cryptofascist

For the longest time, I thought that "cryptofascists" were fascists who were crypto currency fans, since many right-wingers trade them. Today, I finally look it up, and crypto also means hidden, so cryptofascists just means covert fascists haha. I am just leaving this here in case someone made the same mistake I did.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Its funny but at no point were you wrong

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because nazis don't really inconvenience or threaten bubble-world liberals, but even the existence of actual leftists makes them fear for their treat supply. maybe-later-honey

lemmy.world is still federated with lemmygrad (and was before Hexbear federated)
