Their defense mechanism is just to simply ban what they don’t like. Sooner or later, their little walled garden is going to start smelling like shit from the smug arrogance of all the fart-smellers that pretend to have a clue.
I mean, all moderated spaces on the internet suffer from this problem. Lemmy.blahaj.zone has a blanket ban on all Marxist-Leninists because they think we are all authoritarian. Which, btw, is hilariously ironic. An anarchist space on an anti-censorship platform has a rule that says “No Authoritarians,” but they resort to Authoritarianism to enforce it. You can’t make this shit up.
Blahaj is genius, best place to maintain an account. In fact there was such a big fight one of the big mods in .ML was banned for gatekeeping and they’ve been incredibly butthurt ever since.
thankfully the mod team over there is excellent and not made up of chronically online authoritarian-obsessed weirdos. I think the lack of access to them, the truth thar blahaj called to their bigotry, really affects them.
Edit: this is wrong, same shit but a world mod, ml mod was a diff thing. Both suck imo.
Shit you’re right, that was the chronically online weirdo on my instance, the chronically online bigot on your instance made trans into a class issue, sorry. I think he said being Trans was bougie or something.
That’s the problem with defed, a lot of the time the people who have the time and motivation to host or spend a huge amount of time modding are like an archetype. While the users (me) are like 3,000 shades of asshole. It’s impossible to consistently move forward cause humans kinda suck.
Why don’t you go and read the modlogs yourself. Then head over to any one of the several communities dedicated to calling their shit out.
Closing your eyes and plugging your ears doesn’t make things not happen. You should take this newfound knowledge back to the hive and spread it around. Bets that you get banned for it

The purist of projection

You should read more. Authoritarian doesn’t mean “When there’s rules”.
Yeah it means “when there’s rules that western liberals don’t like”
Ah, my little 📦 🧠! Last time we met, you wanted to show me proof that soviet union elections weren’t a complete farce. Got the numbers yet?
???
When those rules are to blanket ban everyone who disagrees with you, that’s authoritarian.
The rules don’t do that though. They ban groups such as nazis and leninists. Which is based.
“it’s not authoritarian when I ban all my political enemies!”
I guess it’s based if you hate successful socialist projects 🤷
Are those successful leninist projects in the room right now?

I think you’re taking about pugjesus from .world

Keep correcting me if I get this wrong again.
Nutonic did say that! if he ever comments on a comm I moderate I’ll ban him too.
The sh.itjust.works admin said something similar as well, not a fan.

Same energy as “how can you claim to be tolerant if you don’t tolerate fascism”
Are you really out here spouting horseshoe theory? Imagine equating communism with fascism in 2025 while claiming to be a leftist.
Pure projection
Fucking hilarious.

You’re back today, this is gonna be so good.
