I pointed out the dishonest outright lies a post was making and rustled some jimmies.

Any day I rustle the jimmies of tankies is a good day.

The rest of the modlog was pretty entertaining too.

Edit: No the comment below my ban in this screenshot is not my comment. I guess that was confusing some people.

Full context: someone had posted a picture of the Obamas in a wine cellar and everyone was deriding them for being so bourgeois as to own a wine cellar (all the usual high level discourse such as “MichelleSoUgly lmaolol”)

I pointed out that this was them at a private event at a restaurant that has a wine cellar and not their own personal wine cellar. Everyone then freaked out that I was “defending the Obamas” and I got banned for Liberalism.

      Genuinely curious here. What comment? As far as I saw the modlog didn’t show the comment I got banned for.

          Yeah I can see how that could be misleading. That was a comment from someone else that got removed (and what I was referring to when I said the rest of the modlog was pretty entertaining). I guess I should have cropped it but I thought it was funny too. As you can see that mod action happened two hours before my ban.

          At the time I screenshotted they hadn’t removed my comment. I think they did now though.

    For everyone’s reference, this user is a genocide denier. While the comments that were removed in this screenshot might be mod overreach, the user has also been banned from far more reasonable communities for their trollish behaviour.

        Oh and for the record, your ban wasn’t even for the genocide denial. It was for being a troll and an arsehole.

        Which seems to be the same as what happened to you in this post, based on the 1:53 pm action.

            You can and did. Moderators have the freedom to delete your comments and ban you. Freedom goes both ways.

            If you want the power to moderate, host your own instance and/or community.

          The only thing peregrin knows about me is that I called them out for defending genocide. Which is one political area where the tankies and I do seem to be in alignment.

          Hard leftist who makes unsupported claims and moves goal posts when they’re proven wrong? Even if they aren’t literally a communist the venn diagram overlap is pretty damning.

          And now he’s obsessively stalking me.

            Bro you posted in a community I’m subscribed to. Don’t post if you don’t want people to see your post and comment on it.

            But anyway, several problems here:

            1. A tanky is a leftist who supports pro-authoritarian violence. If you saw my history interacting with actual tankies, you’ll see that this is not me. I oppose the Chinese, North Korean, and Russian governments in the strongest terms, and support South Korea, Taiwan, and Ukraine (two of which I have very good friends and relatives from).
            2. I never once moved goalposts. I stated in very clear terms why you were wrong and what the bare minimum of evidence would be for me to even begin considering your claims of genocide denial. I then later restated the terms in more specificity, since you seemed unhappy with how vague the first statement was. You failed to even attempt to do that.
            3. Not stalking. You posted where something would appear in my feed. And then decided to have a whinge about it.

            If you don’t want to be called out, don’t defend or deny genocide. End of story.

              You stated that “EVERY reputable expert” says Israel is committing genocide literally using a source that was TITLED “experts deeply divided on whether or not Israel is committing genocide”.

              Then you said that you would only accept experts as “reputable” if they didn’t support Israel in the conflict. Lol.

              I deny a genocide when there literally isn’t a genocide bruh. Using it for every conflict waters down the term to basically mean nothing.

              I couldn’t respond to you anyway (not that I was going to) since I got banned for breaking the cardinal lemmy rule that you have to hate Jews to post here.

                No, I said they could not be reputable if they were Israeli or had strong ties to Israel. Which…should be obvious? The bias is far too strong otherwise. It would be like asking someone living in Nazi Germany if Germany was committing genocide.

                  The fact that someone supports Israel in this conflict is likely what you’ll use as evidence that someone has “strong ties to Israel”.

                  Most claims of genocide come from people who have strong ties to Palestine or people linked to Palestine. Why does the same bar of evidence not apply to you?

                  https://time.com/6334409/is-whats-happening-gaza-genocide-experts/

                  There are several people referenced in this article not Israeli or tied to Israel that claim Israel’s actions don’t meet the criteria of genocide. As I recall your request was that I provide just one. Now I’ll wait as you claim that these experts are actually just Israel shills and they should thus be disregarded.

    Honestly, I prefer that to the mods making up some bullshit. If they want to have their community free from Liberal views, they’re welcome to do so.

    I suppose it sucks to hear “we made our community for people who disagree with you and don’t want to deal with your perspective,” but that is entirely their choice. You don’t get to claim moral superiority and do whatever you want regardless.

    I’m here in Meanwhileongrad to have a laugh pointing out hypocrisy. There’s nothing hypocritical about “you are not welcome here for reasons we agreed upon and freely shared. Go away.”

    I think I’m banned too. I honest made a good faith effort. They ended up goading me into saying that protest voting was not a way to get what we want and then all my comments were deleted bc: liberal.

    It’s hard not to be a sick there bc they get to do it all they want. As soon as the narrative is challenged, bam! You’re gone.

      But hey you can make fun of them here. So it all works out in the end. Let them have their circlejerk where they can exist without having their views challenged. In reality (real reality, not the rest-of-lemmy reality which is just as skewed) literally nobody likes them and most people in their lives probably think they are insufferable.
