Community this happened on: LateStageCapitalism@lemmy.world

Mod: likely GodlessCommie, I think that comm only has one mod and they make majority of the posts.

Penalty: removed comment. Text of the comment is on the screenshot. The post it was on: https://lemmy.world/post/50296041

I get that that community is supposed to be dunking on capitalists, but let’s not pretend all the countries MLs glorify are/were actually socialist. When protecting dictators takes priority over anti-capitalism, that’s when we’re truly cooked.

    It’s interesting that only your comment was removed. My experience with ML has been immediate ban for anything they don’t like. In one case they made up a vague excuse based on an erroneous assumption about me, and another where I was banned simultaneously from over roughly a dozen comms at once – including several I’d never even visited before, and which didn’t appear to have any particular mod in common so I suspect the same “mod” is themselves hiding behind multiple accounts (the banning mod name was hidden, which shouldn’t be possible, IMHO).

    I don’t get how they think they are spreading their philosophy if they don’t even try to convert people to their way of thinking. They don’t just support authoritarians, they ARE authoritarian.

      I called Putin’s invasion of Ukraine “russian imperialistic bullshit”, the ml tankies brigaded, as expected, calling it just a border dispute, with one goin all “nuh-uh, you don’t even know what imperialism means!” - to which I replied with Britannica’s meaning. The reaction was moving the goalposts, “no, that’s imperialistic description of the word, it doesn’t count! read lenin!”

      What really amazed me is that they didn’t ban me

      They do weird things to the modlog. Rarely can you see which mod banned you, and if the comment you posted was upvoted but the mod didn’t like it they’ll remove it and you won’t find a mention of it in the modlog anymore, making it impossible to see the original comment.
