    Totes.

    I was banned from socialism on Lemmy.ml the other day.

    For providing a detailed post with scientific references demonstrating how the Tibetan language is disappearing (and how the infographic posted was likely propaganda/misinformation).

    I had many users respond calling me slurs and none really responding to the body of my post in any way. Then, instead of moderating the bullying, the mod called me a shithead, provided his own references and banned me to prevent me from responding.

    The kicker? The references he linked to supported exactly what I was saying! He hadn’t read them.

    Also funnily, the mod log states that I infringed “Rule 1”. I checked. Socialism’s rules are still TBD (after 7 years).

      There are instance wide rules. It wasn’t clarified, although it should have been, that it was that.

      1. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

      I’ll let QinShiHuangsShlong point out the problem with your comment

      In other words, in all likelihood, waves at the Chinese intelligence system running this thread.

      Why do you people always feel the need to add some dehumanising shit like this at the end of your replies.

      “Oh you don’t hate China you must be a bot, shill, intelligence officer, brainwashed etc etc.”

      You suck.

      Also only that one bad comment (calling you a shithead) was made, and not by a moderator. The comments calling you slurs you are talking about do not exist.
