Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.

goes into a ML space
Criticizes ML
Gets banned
Here’s how you bitch about their modding.
“They instance wide banned me for saying a federal democratic republic is, by definition, a form of democracy. I’m not surprised by that, MLs gonna ML, but I am kind of annoyed it wasn’t for me calling Stalin a red fascist who killed the Revolution.”
I haven’t used lemmy up until this point. They pose as a general purpose instance and are the 2nd largest lemmy instance at that. I knew the lemmy devs had their preferences but I didn’t know they would let it effect their moderating so strongly.
It happens to everyone and is probably going to be the downfall of lemmy
hilarious thing is that they think banning a user is a win. Yeah you guys sure dunked on that random guy by banning him
It will definetly hinder its growth. I hope the ml instance just gets mostly irrelevant when instances that allow for more free speech can grow accordingly. They might create a stronger cesspool of likemineded tankies but it hurts the overall platform
Well, it’s the best they can do. They’d prefer to ding your social credit and throw you in a Gulag to work it off
Yeah they could definitely be a bit more upfront about it. Pity the poor “libertarians” who wander in from time to time thinking FOSS=free speech absolutism
Yeah it’s like going to North Korea and bad mouthing the leader and then going to prison
It’s shitty that it is that way, but you can’t exactly be shocked or surprised about it.
I do get it. It’s some bullshit, yes.
They need to pick whether or not they’re “an ML instance.” Clearly being one while going “nuh uh we’re just general” is partially to blame for this “confusion.” (Of course I know they do it on purpose to fuel their victim complex and attempt to normalize their propaganda and extremist positions rather than relegate them to their own purpose built communities.)
