I tried to challenge some ideas in World News and I guess asking questions about Chinese censorship is xenophobic. Now I'm banned for not being pro Chinese censorship.

.ml

There’s your problem. If they stated their rules, rather than forcing people to figure them out by trial and error, I’d have less of an issue with it. Like, lemmygrad is explicit in its intent and they state it outright in their rules. Lemmy.ml plays it too coy, and so comes off as incredibly manipulative.

You just broke the secret law!

Typical fascist behavior.

whats that about "curry smell" and "they discovered deodorant"?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago

Those are other users' comments. Not sure how those are relevant to JiveTurkey's comments.

I wouldn't take it seriously, they gave me a month long instance ban for saying a federal representative democracy is by definition a type of democracy.

"American propaganda" or something.

ahh i apologize, i thought all comments came from you

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Those sound like comments on a different topic, specifically the story about Paris' improvements in air quality lately (because they built bike infrastructure and partially banned cars). I had to remove nearly identical comments in the [email protected] thread on it, for the same reason.

Well, there's also the racism

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Serious question. Did I say something racist?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Now that I look again, I see that you failed to filter the logs and some other user's trash was in there.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sorry. Didn't realize that was an option.

To be fair, there are plenty of critical content. It's just that they use coded language to avoid the censorship. (Probably not on XHS / RedNote though? It's more of a Facebook equivalent.)
