Maybe they own a restaurant IRL and after reading here for some time in /all, they add a vegan option to their menu. Maybe they're a team lead in IT and thanks to this community, they'll check with their employees if someone wants a vegan option on the christmas party.

I would have used the same examples but to show how useless it is to ask someone if they could pretty please tone down the animal holocaust a notch.

Drumpf owned! Because we cant argue against his support for the palestinian genocide or the border wall and concentration camps we made a statue of him out of shit.

Pretty please don't separate the newborn from it's mom right after birth only to kill it later and confine the mom in a tiny space and forcibly milk her dry.

In my case my hexbear account is an alt of my lemm.ee account

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago

My point was that there was much more good faith discussion from hexbear than from OP, I think the posts you copied here illustrate that nicely.

Also

Poor oppressed Putin!

shows how little you understand these arguments, the argument you post after that is meant to illustrate how Putin is an oppressor, not a oppressed or a speaker of the oppressed.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago (5 children)

They're detailed, they're sourced and they give a coherent explanation. You can call them crock or whatever but it's something you can actually argue against. None of this applies to the responses OP gave.

Also you're really not understanding what is being said about the nazis in ukraine, namely that they are in power and control of the military. Which is an argument Im not gonna get into since I don't know enough about it, but there is more to it than the "ukraine is imperfect because it has nazis and this is enough justification case closed. " argument you claim is being put forth.

"Ukraine isn't a utopia, therefore it's a dystopia".

What?

More to the point, OPs replies were worse or non-existent. If you are going to bring up the ukraine war in a forum that is known to be on the other side of your argument you should have a better explanation than "Putin wants to revive the USSR" or at least something to back it up. Or at least engage the people trying to explain their viewpoints.

 

After being left on read by the mods this is the next step in my attempt in getting clarification on how my comment could be read as 'racist', the cited ban reason.

Context:

This comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/11028531 which was (posted exactly as it was):


readsettlers.org

CW for genocidal racism

"I can hardly believe that the South and North can live in peace unless we get rid of the Negroes. Certainly they cannot, if we don't get rid of the Negroes whom we have armed and disciplined and who have fought with us, I believe, to the amount of 150,000 men. I believe it would be better to export them all..." - Abraham Lincoln https://archive.org/details/autobiographyper0192butl page 903


This comment was removed as 'racist'. See the modlog https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=199626

Attempts at getting clarification:

Seeing no official appeal process I messaged the first mod on the list that had activity in the last couple days. Here is the message I sent @[email protected] on 07 Jul:


Hi,

this is about my ban from Political Memes on lemmy.world . I don’t see an official appeal process nor the mod who banned me so I am messaging you rather randomly. Sorry if I oveelooked something.

I am not sure how my comment was racist when Pugjesus is the one dismissing black voices with a “lol stop being melodramatic”. Fairly certain there is a misunderstanding which I hope to rectify.

Thanks

after receiving no response, this is the message I sent to the next mod with some activity on the mod list @[email protected] on 17 Jul :


Hi,

this is about my ban from [email protected]. I don’t see an official appeal process nor the mod who banned me which is why I see no alternative to DM’ing you directly. Sorry if I overlooked something. I also messaged Rooki over a week ago but never got a reply.

I am not sure how my comment can be seen as racist. I’m hoping to clarify what surely is just a misunderstaning.

Thanks


They at least promptly replied 2.5h later with:


I haven’t taking any mod actions on your account but I will ask around.


My "Appreciate it" was the last communication between me and anyone on the mod team.

Why I care

I am hoping to at least get an explanation on how my comment could be read as racist, because to me this seems like a willful misunderstanding at best (I am quoting Lincoln, those are not my words or views, as should be obvious from the CW I applied to it). Especially with no mod actions taken against the person replying to me linking readsettlers.org with a dismissal of the author, who has been very active in black liberation (though themself not black, that was a mistake in my first message), as "melodramatic".

 

Following the request from https://lemm.ee/post/38756969 I want to add pronouns to my username. I would like have the full " [he/him]" string appended to my username, however lemm.ee only allows up to 20 characters.

Would it be possible to add more characters or a pronoun selector like on hexbear.net?

I believe there is no book more comprehensive than this one.

Not sure how to report entire communities, but https://lemm.ee/c/vaccines just opened up and it's a troll forum for vaccine misinformation.
