Basically what I said in the title, the post was doing bothsideism with China and the US, comparing the Uyghur in Xinjiang to Palestine, and using wikipedia as sources. Reason for the ban, misinformation, lmao.
getting banned from 196 is a badge of honor
I mean you guys ban people who say things you don’t like, they ban people for saying things they don’t like… you both make lots of posts complaining about the other side. What’s the point?
The Uyghur wikipedia article quotes adrian fucking zenz, like come on
Uneducated liberals calling basic facts misinformation rather than ever investigate the impact propaganda has had on them.
These are exactly the kinda of people that should not be mods, as they have no humility.
In this particular case it’s not actually true though, 196 mod on blahaj is on active antitankie crusade and ban everyone he suspect.
Yup, looking at the moderation history of mods such as “WillStealYourUsername” they’re practically only banning people for “suspected tankie” or “tankie”
I’m sure that’s true but is it really different?
Yes, it means he’s not just uneducated liberal but have consciously hostile agenda.
I don’t think those are incompatible. The former tends to lead to the latter, particularly those unwilling to question their own experience being propagandized.
That’s the thing with mods, they can ban you for just disagreeing. They can ban you just to shut down a discussion. They can ban you without providing proper justification.
Most recently I’ve been banned from /r/antiwork, and then I wished death upon the mods and got a site-wide ban 🤣
Clearly they don’t know the lore behind Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia
Yeah Wikipedia is fine if you’re just trying to find out the average daily temperature in Milwaukee in September, but for anything with nuance it’s unreliable.
Funnily, now to think of it, didn’t they change the article from “Uygur Genocide” to “Persecution of Uygurs in Xinjiang?”
That’s exactly what I said in the comment
