These comment removals don’t appear on the modlog but the likely culprit comment is
“It fucking matters that the lemmy main code contributors are Tankie scum. The less power they exert over the whole, the better.”
At a 3 to 2 score, but also includes such heinous comments as
"You can just browse lemmy in a mobile browser like waterfox just fine…
Why would anybody want to install unnecessary third party apps? That sounds awful."
and
“I havent used many instances but I’ve never used one which didn’t have a mobile site.”
The Modlog does mention the ban with the following reason:
YDI. Maybe stop embodying the idea of ‘scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds’ for a few days and you might see why your actions even alienate relatively normie communities.
Imagine opposing liberalism and thinking you’re anything other than a fascist.
Liberalism and fascism have more in common than you think, which is why socialists often say, “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.”
I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
— MLK, Jr., Letter from Birmingham JailSo called socialist countries have an attrocious civil rights record, a severe lack of protections for vulnerable classes of people, if your definition of liberalism is that it isn’t socialism then you’ve truly outed yourself as a misinformed Tankie, gj comrade.
BTW, those “white liberals” helped pass the civil rights act that MLK Jr advocated for. The USA was 88.5% white at the time of the civil rights movement, and we the entire USA as one people still passed it through an all white congress. MLK’s concerns turned out to be wrong with that letter.
Yup, this is YDI. Minimum mod action, and you were being nasty in a community that isn’t set up to allow that.
“Nasty”…? Tankies are intolerant, they deserve no tolerance. They are violent, they deserve no mercy. They are hateful, they deserve no kindness.
There is nothing Nasty about calling it what it is.
Look, let’s say I agree with that. I think your take lacks depth, but I’ll play along.
Yeah, those tankies suck.
But if you roll up to my house spitting rage and hate, IDGAF if I agree with the underlying principle, you’re an asshole, and I’m kicking you out.
The community you were in was just escorting you to the door for being obnoxious. And you were. You still are.
You have the freedom to have your opinion. You can even broadcast it anywhere you want. Once. Nobody has to let you back in the door when you disrupt a community with unrelated venom. It’s like some. Mormon coming to your door when you’ve got it open for a nice breeze and bitching about how much Jehovah’s witnesses suck.
It stinks up the place.
If your house condemns those who mistreat tankies, then your house spits rage and hatred all on its own.
