no one has ever used that term for similar actions in the past.

They have, it's been a genocide. The whole point of the genocide convention was to stop them while they're happening, not to preserve the term for historical labeling and partisan bickering. The person cynically wielding and demeaning the term is you, because you only recognize genocide when it's not 'your guy' doing it.

People like you disgust me. So invested in team loyalty you will minimize a genocide to avoid admitting your own parties participation. Just because I criticize democrats for their complicity doesn't mean I am happy Trump won.

They were still doing a genocide under joe biden. She did nothing to distance herself from the admin and the only people to blame for her loss are herself and her enablers.

Don't trust him at all, absolutely still CIA.

TBH I was more using that facetiously because it's what our media tends to call any regime successors in enemy countries, regardless of the accuracy

Okay, but that’s a very disingenuous framing of most the people we’re talking about. Especially on the fediverse. I 100% believe that someone somewhere made such claims but that wasn’t the common sentiment. No one was largely telling anyone not to criticize Harris and the Democrats for their stances. Far from. They earned all that and more.

I am not interested in getting to shitflinging because we agree on most other things, however this itself is kind of disingenuous framing of what I just said; I said:

I find the people complaining about ‘both sides’ rhetoric and blaming nonvoters incredibly off-putting because they’re absolving a hostile party of its obvious negligence and preventing any lessons from being learned in the name of smug self-satisfaction.

I didn't say that they were saying not to criticize the democrats even, I just said that fixating on blaming voters is serving the end of whitewashing the failures of the democrats and contributing to an atmosphere where they learn nothing.

in which PugJesus makes a post about 'solidarity' and immediately bans any anarchist he disagrees with.

I get that tankiejerk is a circlejerk comm, but the hypocracy in this post was so rank I couldn't resist commenting. Obviously I was perm banned within minutes

PJ says:

but when someone says to you “I’m an anarchist, I organize to alleviate suffering at the grassroots level”, the correct response is “Right on, comrade”, even if you think state institutions are the optimal solution.

Me:

I’m an anarchist, I organize locally. It’s a big part of my daily life. based on my experiences I have found way more common cause with so-called ‘tankies’ than liberals when it comes to actually working to oppose the shit that’s crushing us.

I don’t blame or begrudge people for feeling betrayed by Harris and the Democrats.

They have been betraying us, it's more than a feeling. The democrats as a party are not invested in winning and have no principles they run on other than being 'not trump' while still being fully on board with war, empire, harsh border controls, and corporate monopolies.

I find the people complaining about 'both sides' rhetoric and blaming nonvoters incredibly off-putting because they're absolving a hostile party of its obvious negligence and preventing any lessons from being learned in the name of smug self-satisfaction.

They're more interested in scolding voters than reflecting on how the parties own actions led to them losing to a game show host, twice now.

He didn't drop out until they had effectively prevented any internal challengers by waiting until the primary was over the make the switch to his hand-picked successor.

If they had had an actual primary and not just ignored all the people protest voting 'uncommitted' in the joke one that they did have they wouldn't have botched it as bad as they did. That's on democratic leadership, not the voters.

 

they didn't even bother with a pretence of a primary the second time.

Biden put a 100% tariffs on chinese EVs, making it essentially impossible to import them. not like trump was going to roll those back

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I'd rather buy a Chinese one, but mr Biden made that impossible.

Feel free to roast me or suggest shit to add

Round 2, this is a follow-up to this post

1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

https://quokk.au/u/quokka

2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

Account purged/deleted

3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).

4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).

I asked quokka for an explanation, but did not receive a response until I mentioned it in the db0 general chat.

Here's the comment in /c/slop where I link my yptb post because someone mentioned that I had been banned for my original comment.

I did not include any call to action and I directed the conversation to YPTB because /c/slop is not for getting into it about specific moderators/admins on fedi.

As to what my 'goals' were by linking to it; we're on a discussion forum, signposting a conversation happening elsewhere is not what I would consider 'brigading'.

The post that I linked to was my own post in YPTB complaining about getting comm banned for pointing out the misogyny in the OOP post title

5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Posting links to other comments to direct discussion there is extremely common on fediverse.

Because this was a full account purge rather than a ban, this looks like pretty clear retaliation to hide criticism of the mod that I was calling out for misogyny, rather than addressing the issue in a serious way at all.

As stated by quokka in the above matrix message, on quokk.au there's apparently an unwritten rule that if you're posting a link on hexbear to anywhere it's grounds for total account deletion due to 'brigading' if one of their members doesn't like what you're saying.

It looks pretty unprecedented based on their modlog, the only people receiving such action previously were spammers

Meanwhile, there's an entire community out there where posts are linked to on other instances with sarcastic, hyperbolic paraphrases and clear calls to action. Worth noting that even the most egregious users there don't have their accounts purged on .ml.

The moderator that I called out (and I have to assume they were the one to report reported me) is an active participant there, and seems to see no problem with that type of behavior.

Looks like a clear double standard and retaliation for calling out the moderators overreaction to me pointing out a misogynistic post title.

 
1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

https://quokk.au/u/Deceptichum

2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

74 year community ban for 'homophobia'

3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).

4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).

here's the exchange that resulted in the ban:

5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

I'm gay, trans, and an anarchist. I thought the post title was misogynistic, objectifying, and not a good example something that should be in a 'queer friendly' space.

Not everyone is okay with sexual degradation humor, misogynistic comments, etc, even if it's about people you disagree with. Pointing that out in this case got me called a homophobic tankie and banned within minutes of making the post.

 

okay which one of you is this i-cant

cw: 4 year old post, if it was from today they would probably be going on about piefed

they post violence about housing providers and they all laugh. Crypto, therapeutics, any remote discussion of no new normal, flat-earth/conical earth just really any conspiracy stuff it's just laughed at and they will send pictures of disgusting stuff to you. I got pictures of poop pig ball and other things.
