So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy’s version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?
The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml
The Chinese government is downrite evil. I don’t understand what mistakes needed to be made to allow a cartoon villain level of tyrannical human rights violating government to be put in place, and still exist.
I have accidentally responded to posts there but have since blocked the instance. Nothing good can come from engaging with them.
The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml
LOL! There ya go.
Yep.
Fastest way to get banned there is to give valid criticism of China or Russia.
One of the Tankiest of tankie instances
Why do tankies stan for Russia? Nostalgia?
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Sow disinformation about the west, erode tust.
Now, bear in mind I’m acutely aware of the strengths of china, and the failings of the us, but when the 300lb gorilla is in your backyard eyeing your kids, you get involved with the gorilla, and keep and eye on what is happening in office politics and in the neighbours yard.
Inability to hold nominally conflicting ideas. You can be a socialist and be against the actions of countries that claim to be socialist. Likewise you can be capitalist and be against the actions of countries that claim to be capitalist.
Because no likey da Americans
These morons think Iran is a bastion of anti-colonial resistance
Iran
The theocracy
The successor state to one of the longest running imperial projects in human history
The state currently organizing proxies to destabilize it’s neighbors with the intention of letting a puppet state take all of it for integration within it’s sphere of influence
That Iran.
Tankies have no values and even fewer brain cells.
I wonder where they’re all from? Are they living in the US?
A few are Canadians who think letting the prairie provinces have nice things will lead to the second war of 1812, but yeah, they’re almost always bougie US kids. Why I always call them Bougyeviks.
All the ideology, none of the actual connection to the people who need the most help
hurr durr america bad therefore anything that is against america good
they’re either useful idiots, or fascists in red coating utilizing said idiots
They want a strong daddy to tell them what to think and do. They’re frightened children.
Tankies love fascist dictatorships. That’s their whole shtick.
Yep, this.
They are convinced they are gonna be part of the ruling class, So they fucking love fascist authoritarian dictatorship.
The overwhelming irony is that they would most likely be the ones purged, not the ones ruling.
Because there are reactionaries. It’s like PETA or angry vegans who are in it for the moral superiority rather than making the world a better place.
Tankie bitches gonna be tankie bitches.
Isn’t that the developer instance? Are the developers tanki communists? (I don’t believe a real communist would want to support china OR russia since they aren’t actually communists)
Lemmygrad
Even worse.
Tankies have occupied the post!
Believe me. I’ve noticed.
Just ignore them. They open with ad hominem attacks, or myriad assumptions about age, account credibiltiy based on registration date, nationality vs ethnicity, political leanings, etc. and demand your response. Let them stew in their ignorant hate.
For those of you asking/ curious, the reason given was ‘yellow peril’. Really? I guess my being asian and directly affected by the Chinese activities in the scs makes me somehow a threat to yellow people?
Same. I literally have family in China and therefore a real stake in Chinese society. Meanwhile a bunch of western tankies who have never been to China and don’t speak the language hand down bans merely for me relaying conversations I’ve actually had with real Chinese people in their native language about Chinese history and politics.
It’s simple racism to infantilise all Chinese people like this, believing they need a bunch of white saviors on the Internet to speak for them and guard their cultural chastity.
Simply mentioning china or any ethnicity at all is seen as racism to them because grounding reality in anything other than communist propaganda is seen as a threat.
Did you know that if you support Ukraine, the tankies say that makes you racist against Asians? No joke , that’s what I was called. You see, they say, Russia is actually an Asian country.
This isn’t a joke and happened to me. And the people were really really cross with me.
Lmao that username. You’re either Malaysian or Singaporean.
Hahaha. I recognize your usernamr from ‘the other place’
Leddit? Yeah I was active there, then decided to leave.
Same, with a name change to go with it. Hope things work out here mate!
Joke’s on them. I’ve blocked them first.
Let me guess, lemmy.ml?
lol, apparently I got a temp ban for “misinformation” over a comment saying that Russian-aligned forces at Debaltseve ignored the ceasefire that was agreed in Minsk II
In fairness though it was only a temp ban, and they’ve never removed anything else I’ve said (even in that specific thread)
Mine as flagged ‘yellow peril’. Now bear in mind I’m asian and have a direct interest in the article and my comment. Maybe the automod just removes reported posts. But really? Yellow peril? Wtf is that even?
They use a lot of words like that or Sinophobia, orientalism, etc when the word they actually mean to use is wrongthink.
That’s because the instance was ml. I regularly criticize them in world for their absurd actions.
How do I actually block instances?
Anyway fuck tankies
If you’re on the website, just go to settings, block
How to block?
settings/ blocks tab/ block instances at the bottom
Boost app does not seem to be able to block an instance.
Those instances are just satire right?
…right?
Two of them are practically dead.
Hexbear is just the exodus of ChapoTrapHouse and a few affiliated sites from when Reddit kicked its ban policy into high gear. The Akira Toriyama Megathread and Online Movie Night top-posts seem about as sincere and good natured as anything on any other social media site.
Only if Sino on reddit was as well. Which I thought was when I first came across it.
lemmygrad is a full-on cult, lemmy.ml is its public front and embassy, and hexbear, well, there’s plenty of idiots on hexbear, the problem with hexbearians isn’t that they’re Stalinists but that they think signal politics does anything, hence also their propensity to pile. At least in the past I think they’ve given up on doing it outside hexbear.
Yes, I posted a ProPublica article about how the CCP uses organized crime to intimidate Chinese citizens abroad and got banned from the entire instance for it.
It gets juicer. Just read some of the comments here. These people need to touch grass or something.
If you got banned there, that’s a good thing. China’s not perfect. But its “criticism”, is just a retranslation of agressive american propaganda and western chauvinism. All to brainwash the western people into imperialist warfare. It literally serves the US warmongers. We can see this even by the crazy comments here full of hate and demonization of Сhina born solely of the fact that the American ruling class feels threatened by China and is invested in vilifying it… It’s extremely annoying and it’s fascism. I don’t want this place to turn into a liberal shithole like reddit with “ChiNa BaD” circlejerk. I don’t want this place to be filled with bots and idiots who are duped by them, and moderators deliberately promoting fake anti-China news like on reddit. Or censoring any information about China than contradicts the aggressive american narrative like on reddit. So, yea. If I were ml mod, I’d do the same thing.
Ah yes. Except I’m also Chinese. The only brainwashed ones here seem to be the paid CCP shills.
Well, all it means is that you’re lib (unless you’re lying, or just being a bot). Every country has people like you. Ready to betray their people and country and turn it into a colony of Western capital. But that doesn’t mean you have the support of the people or represent the opinion of the majority of Chinese. Also- “if people don’t agree with my anti-china takes and desire to favor the US, they get paid or spy”. Typical point of brainwashed american fash who get paid by us rulling class. It’s even funnier to hear after how much of an aggressive China-hater you are, whining about being banned. Ban fascists and provocateurs, it’s normal. And with your comments you only prove it.
Well, let’s be fair now, that’s all it means to you, and you’ve loudly made your capabilities and agenda transparent for us all to see.
Happily, with even the tiniest modicum of critical thinking, one can see puffery such as this is the intellectual equivalent of dryer lint; to be scraped off a filter and discarded.
And yet here we are. But don’t worry - I won’t report you. I believe in healthy discourse, even if I disagree with the substance and the individual behind it, plus I prefer to keep your comment and the community’s reaction to it a matter of public record.
The only difference in tactics nowadays is the shills seem to speak better english.
“I’m Chinese”
“CCP”
Doubt.
Really? You do understand being Chinese by ethnicity is not the same as being Chinese by nationality…?
LOL you are such a fool. It’s irrelevant what you feel about manufactured ‘Western chauvinism’, the fact that that China and other countries are brutal authoritarian regimes is the problem. The people need to rise up and throw off their chains.
Fuck the Chinese government.
Keep it civil mate. Be better. It’s not the govt that is banning people here, but the individuals blinded by their tactics.
The Chinese government is responsible for creating a culture of censorship, don’t tell me what to do.
The person who spams American bullshit and Trumpisms for no reason like a hysterical ape at people explaining things to you are telling others to be civil.
You’ve been banned from lemmy.ml
Nope. But I’m banned from climate for not liking that little climate girl.
Go ahead and try to say anything against Islam there and same result.
