Moderator is clearly absent and it is being spammed by a certain user with right-wing tabloid articles.

    I think we both are dismayed that a whole community is practically being dominated by a single poster. But I don’t think the answer is to escalate directly, but rather balance the ratio of i.e. left/right by posting the stuff I think is lacking.

    Saying that people can come to /c/china and discuss things like an adult is unrealistic, you know there is extreme bias for certain political ideologies at certain places at Lemmy.ml. People get banned for naming a certain server that allows for different topics and ideologies than on lemmy.ml, so this is a place that seems to want to crush ideological opponents, leave them alone and isolated. Are you literally fishing for a ban for someone you disagree with?

      If you look at the history, I post maybe a couple of articles a day on /c/europe. Most of them also tend to come from mainstream sources. Seems like it’s more of an issue that I am the sole person posting more than anything. Do you really think that this qualifies as spamming the community and grounds for a ban?

        Yes, I consider this an issue when it comes to understanding a topic. Being only presented one side of the situation only allows for one-sided conclutions.

        No, as I wrote in the comment you replied to:

        rather balance the ratio of i.e. left/right by posting the stuff I think is lacking.

        Did you read it?

        grounds for a ban?

        No, and I don’t think I’ve ever claimed that either. Since water is wet, do you think I should be banned?

          I don’t think we’re disagreeing on anything here. It does seem like more people posting here would be the solution, and I’d be glad to see different perspectives from people actually leaving in Europe. FWIW I think this article that PoVoq replied to me provides excellent context for the protests in Netherlands. That could’ve been a great post to make, and the only reason I saw the article was cause I posted a different worse article covering the protests.
