Aaaaaaand I just got banned from NOT one, NOT two, NOT three, but four Lemmy.ml communities. Is this a sign I have to start studying and reading up on theory?
Also, I know some Lemmy.ml mods is gonna say that “you wouldn’t get banned from these communities had you read your theory!” like they’re teachers demanding students to eat their meat before they can have their pudding (because how can you have your pudding when you don’t eat your meat?)
Now I support the idea of socialism (I’m more of a market socialist), and I’m NOT against the idea of actually existing socialist countries (ie: China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and the DPRK). That said, I think Lemmy.ml should be more open to different forms of socialism, as well as the Marxist Leninists who DOESN’T have to support Stalin (and his bureaucratic and polarizing practices while General Secretary of the CPSU) to support ML.
I am very bummed that I CAN’T respond in these communities - that said, I can subscribe to different versions of these communities that happened to be in different Lemmy instances (other than Lemmy.ml):
Socialism:
Privacy:
Memes:
Lemmy support:
Someone should make another Lemmy support community here in this instance
No, that looks like an admin ban from the instance. You’re banned from lemmy.ml entirely.
When you get instance banned, the modlog will simply show bans from communities you’ve posted in from that instance. If you try to post to a lemmy.ml community now, it won’t federate out. It’s actually a really broken system that can cause problems.
Wait, really? Dang it.
Is me being instance-banned from Lemmy.ml a sign that I have to study and read up on theory a bit more? Is there any way I can get unbanned from the instance?
No, is sign that you are a sane person. You don’t want to be considered good by them, it means you are a tankie.
.ml isn’t tolerant towards other ideologies or beliefs. If it isn’t full-throated support for authoritarian regimes, then it’s considered a bannable offense, even if you support actual socialism or communism. Note that your ban was very likely from the admins themselves, as the moderators hardly do any banning there compared to Dessalines and Davel.
demanding students to eat their meat
Nah. I demand you stop eating meat.
Guess I’m not a mod, though, so take the rest of this with a giant serving of salt:
You’re getting banned in part because you post the same things over and over again and don’t seem to actually incorporate any of the feedback you get in response.
You’re getting banned in part because you’re participating in communities you’ve previously been banned from (and, per the prior point, not changing anything about how you participate in those communities).
You’re getting banned in part because your takes are often contradictory and unrealistic, and primarily based in historical revisionism.
- I was referencing Pink Floyd
- I’m very sorry for posting the same stuff over and over again on Lemmy.ml
- Why are my takes based in revisionism? Do you think that I should study and read up on theory a bit more?
- That doesn’t change the cruelty of the meat industry
- You’re still doing it though, see #3
- Based in historical revisionism. As in, you’re more interested in “what if everything were like my favorite alt-history story?” instead of grounding things in reality. Asked and answered at least 20 times by me alone.
Do you still think I should study and read a bit theory more?
Asked and answered at least 20 times by me alone.
I know I always get “you gotta read theory!”
