So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy’s version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?

The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml

    Yeah. He’s an obvious troll. The bigger problem is that when I’ve called him out in the past, a mod here has deleted my comments for misleading reasons. So it’s obvious that at least one of the mods does support Russian bs. Of course, there are other mods who do give him the occasional ban so he calms down a bit.

    I’ve said this elsewhere, but if you’re angry about what’s happening in Gaza, you really don’t want ‘friends’ like that supporting your cause. One spoilt apple ruins the bunch. It’s like if you run a children’s hospital that accepts donations from Gary Glitter.

      My thing with it is, ive bwen privately/publicly bitching about the apartheid state known as Israel for the past 15+ yrs, but now, now is when everybodys taking note, when the october attack by hamas was, in part, part of a larger russian effort to draw attention away from the area in Europe they have since called a stepstone multiple times now. And now these voices conveniently ignore that US policy towards israel has always been unconditional financial/military support. But suuuure, its all bidens fault. As if the geriatric neolib picked out of a hat bc he was the closest thing to “average” for our politics over the past 60 yrs was the problem, and is if there was no chance of their being intelligence available to the president that isnt available to the rest of us.

      Support Gaza, but remember that Ukraine is where the bigger worldwide threat is.

        Kind proud to have been banned from reddit world news (pre-API BS) for calling out the Israel bootlicker spam and downvote bot armies.

        It’s disgusting how obviously evil Israel has treated the west bank for so long that only now people care, and only now are people calling on the government to put an end to it. I recall having read an article about at least 1 Jewish community protest having been marked “antisemetic”

        The obsession with the genocide language really says it all. They use it to shut down discussion entirely, but they will ban you if you mention the G word about Ukraine.

        A year or two from now, when there are still millions of Arab Palestinians, and the world is spending billions to rebuild their infrastructure, I’m sure all these people will definitely admit that it was never genocide.
