i was legitimately confused why i was getting zero replies in very active threads. and yes this is just a whine post about how horribly opaque fediverse moderation is these days
rule 1? rule 2? fuck if I know what I said that broke those rules, here’s a ban that you don’t even get notified about. i probably said fuck too many times. that’s “not respectful”.
Okay can someone please point me to a real, physical, existing example of this happening? I’ve got multiple accounts on multiple instances from when the servers I used were less stable and not once on any of them have I ever seen a single person defended Russia or China politically.
Not trying to be divisive it just comes up a lot and at this point feels like a red scare tactic
Ah, but it’s never happened to me, personally, so there’s no way that’s true!
That’s how you sound.
Don’t make fun of someone asking for a source. That’s called critical thinking.
I had about 6 in my inbox at one time, but they’ve all been lost to the winds of fediverse moderation at this point.
A vast majority of instances have defederated from hexbear/lemmygrad/etc by now. So you dont see nearly as much of them outside of the main lemmy.ml communities, and those that do end up outside them ususally get moderated out by local admins.
If you really are curious. Take a scroll through some of the comments on hexbears “dunk tank” like so. See how long you can read before closing the tab out of disgust. Most of them are commenting completely unironically… (That thread is not Russia specific yes but I couldn’t stomach to scroll down that community any farther. It gives you an idea.)
Really? It’s everywhere over there.
I haven’t seen it personally, maybe I just run in different circles but I’ve asked to be directed to an example on 3 occasions now and never once has one been provided.
Not saying it isn’t happening, would just like some proof that it’s not just a band wagon
