I post lefty meme and was banned.
You must log in or # to comment.
Your great man post (the “history is made by great men” and then the Marx/Engels/Lenin/Stalin/Mao line) doesn’t fit the instance and also wasn’t a meme and would have been deleted by me anyway, but I wouldn’t have banned you for it.
Your other posting was quite good, so imma reverse the community ban; if db0 feels like crashing out over this and banning you instance-wide, I’m sorry, that’s outside my control
Your comm is starting to attract too many red fash who take it as a useful propaganda platform.
First of all, I would firmly disagree with calling genuine ML(M)s “red fascists”, which is historically disingenuous and, in the present, dangerously inaccurate, especially regarding today’s global political climate.
I believe the rules of c/leftymemes are already expansive to prevent irrational idolization/glorification (i.e. exaggerating positive aspects or denying mistakes to the point of lying). However, stating historical fact, or using historical figures to subvert expectations, does not violate that.
Genuinely socialist memes of all stripes (!) have a place there as long as they adhere to the rules, which most do IMO. I admit that moderation could be more proactive and rules better enforced, but we don’t get don’t get a lot of reports either and currently the largest problem IMHO is the lib infestation in the comments…
When the proposed “solution” of the ML(M) would be to place me in a fascist regime with a red coat of paint and oppress me (if not outright murder me in the name of the revolution), I will fucking call them red fash.
or using historical figures to subvert expectations,
There’s a fine line between subverting expectations and glorifying authoritarian leaders, and the new crop of posts are hell bent on crossing over it just enough to not get caught.
I dunno db0, publicly calling out at Alsaas like this when she had nothing to do with it is out of line imo. It would have been removed by one of the lefty meme mods before long anyway. I see you kind of apologized to her but honestly I’m a bit annoyed on her behalf.
And as Alsaas said, currently the biggest moderation problem is not MLs, who are usually well informed at least, but the brain-dead “reds-under-the-bed” turbolibs in the comments, who’ve never even heard of Joe McCarthy.
I agree with Alsaas that content removal would have sufficed, so PTB in this case. And no hard feelings I hope.
Yep, gross instance rules violation. Fuck outa here with the “great men” tankie shite.
This great man okay
But ban me?
First one was funny. But trying to make light of Stalinism and gulags where millions were imprisoned and died, just because USA are terrible about imprisoning people is awful. Shame on you.
Those are not my post. Those are others allowed.
This is my banned post.
Ah, I see the problem. This is just propaganda. The other posts are… Memes.
Come to lemmy.ml, people in these lib instances will never understand. Anybody using the word ‘tankie’ unironically in 2026 deserves to be blocked.
Any tankie deserves to be blocked.
Tankie is just a made up term by libs who would rather side with fascists than actually solve problems. Block away. You are not an ally.
Interestingly, you have previously posted here because you were banned for posting pure propaganda to a meme community. And it was, in fact, tankie shite.
Unfortunately most lemmy “leftists” continue to uncritically believe NATO propaganda about AES countries, which is why you have a bunch of losers in this thread whining about “tankies.” If you want an actual, non-anti-communist leftist comm, try .ml, lemmygrad, or hexbear.
I fully support the OP posting their memes in those instances.
