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.
They also have the practice of removing your comment, but then leaving their reply as the moderator in place, but banning you so you cannot continue the conversation.
That pretty authoritarian.
I don’t like what you said, I will denounce you and send you off to gulag.
Rule 6 says it all - if I was a tankie I wouldn’t want people to call me out for it, either.
You can tell “instance shaming” really hits them because they made a separate .world account just to mod and post for that comm.
Considering how dunking on socialists they dont like (Bernie Sanders and DemSocs) is okay, I think this is PTB. They just feel called out and enforce rules based on how they feel.
Deserved it
What makes you think that GodlessCommie is the mod responsible? They don’t mod that com. The OP of the post you commented on is a mod though, and makes a lot of posts there. TBH, I don’t get why that community is on .world in the first place. If they’re going to moderate it like an ML com and thought police the comments, just take that shit over to ML already.
The OP of that post and the mod of that community is in fact GodlessCommie’s .world account. You can tell by their username being GodlessCommie@lemmy.world
Interesting. I show no such user on .world I see the OP of the post you linked as K1nsey6, who also shows as a mod. Maybe a difference in federation or how Voyager displays it.
Interesting, I’m on Jerboa and it displays as what I described.
Nah, your comment was worth removing because it violated a rule and had zero self awareness as to how reality works
The mod also violates rules but its okay because its not criticizing MLs. The mod is so blatant about it, they even do it in the same comment thread they banned OP in. Multiple times.
Example

:
That’s literally historically accurate. Again, proving that you don’t understand how reality works. Your ignorance is not the mod’s problem.
Its always the same. MLs preaching left unity but actually not following through themselves.
And when called out, somehow its always history something something purges were / are / will be actually correct something something.
MLs preaching left unity but actually not following through themselves.
Again, completely ignorant of history. MLs do not preach left unity. They preach Marxist Unity, and non-Marxist leftists are called out appropriately. It’s been that way for over a century. That you don’t know this is part of your problem.
somehow its always history something something purges were / are / will be actually correct something something
Democratic Socialism has literally never succeeded in the history of humanity, whereas Marxist-Leninism has succeeded 7 times: Russia, Yugoslavia, North Korea, China, Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba. All 7 times the MLs did not preach left unity but rather a unity of Marxists and those with incorrect analyses were excluded.
You broke their rule 3 regardless if you agree.

Rule 3 explicitly says anti-socialism, anti-communism and capitalist apologia. Stating MLs glorify authoritarian dictators isn’t anti-communism because those dictators weren’t communist.
To add to that, the mod action comment did not mention any rules, it just claimed the removed comment was misinformation, which it wasn’t.
Agree 100%. I call it “their shit don’t stink” syndrome
Is that you Trotsky?
Is that you Stalin?
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.
B&, you forgot to thank Marx at the end of your post.
