I for one am in favor. I strongly dislike them and the hexbears. They talk all kinds of shit about being open to arguing and dunking on libs, they'll brigade other instances and communities, but ban you for having a different opinion in their instance. It's wild.
Yup. Got banned for telling an admin to stop throating putin's cock. Admittedly fairly charged language, but fucking accurate.
Fun fact they immediately whatabout'd the US working with nazis. Like, shit fam we can both agree that's bad, why the fuck do you only have a problem when I criticize you for licking authoritarian boots?
For real. Meanwhile they always seem to forget the thousands of Nazi scientists hired by the USSR after WW2. What coincidence 🤪
Edit:
I got banned from hexbear for saying something like it's "based that for free Biden's admin got the IMF to loan Pakistan money at the cost of sending weapons to Ukraine to fight our enemies for free."
I got banned from Lemmygrad for pointing out that China is a fasco-capitalst state that manipulates its currency to keep the party members rich and factory workers poor, which doesn't feel very socialist to me.
I wish getting banned by them would lead to me not seeing their posts, I'd run a ban% speed run in a heartbeat if it did.
Almost like a big bunch of trolls who were never interested in discussing shit.
Proper instance blocking needs to show up. Like... yesterday would be good.
The situation in the Middle East is very nuanced people with serious legitimate grievances on every side. Getting multiple view points we disagree with is healthy.
This issue is very emotional for a lot of people. As a community we're going to have to give some leeway to people reacting emotionally, before we de-federate.
You're absolutely correct, the thing I take issue with is no matter how nuanced the issue is, they are members of lemmygrad.ml cheering for the deaths of innocent civilians.
No matter what the situation is, that's really not ok and that's why the user was making the ask.
I just dislike that their collective emotional reaction always seems perfectly calculated to be to the benefit of the CCP or Russia, no matter the topic.
They're. Tankies.
This isn't the only issue they have genuinely brain damage level takes on.
Don’t know, but it did come across as a very one sided perspective.
It definitely did, but it didn't seem all that different from similar requests in the past. My experience has been that people will typically either agree or disagree and lay out reasons why.
The OP was saying some really shitty things about people and wishing for the deaths and how they're not human and shit. I agree with them taking it down.
Nah homie, OP was quoting the things being said by the lemmygrad.ml users with links to the quotes. I'm honestly wondering if the mods may have misread it as you had.
That's not true. Someone said that they're not going to listen to someone saying shitty things and they double-downed.
I don't remember seeing that.
What I do remember seeing was quoted statements with links at the end of the quote to the exact comment.
I've already seen one person mistake the quotes for actual statements from the user, could it be this was the situation?:
Op made post with the quotes. Commentor A read the post and mistook the quotes for statements Commentor A response as a normal person would "hey stop saying shitty things" Op responds with more negative quoted statements
It feels weird but I've seen people be obstinate for no good reason on Lemmy before.
Lemme know what you think since I missed that comment thread.
Also, looks like the ban was updated to a 24 hour ban with a message "stop the hate speech" which I feel adds weight to my recollection of the situation and theory that OP's post was misread.
Update: misread or not, OP is doing a lot of what looks like ban evasion. Even going as far as creating accounts on other instances.
I'm not going to repeat what OP said, but they were definitely saying really shitty things. They weren't repeating what others have said, they were saying it themselves. I'm 100% positive of it and I didn't read it wrong. I double checked because what they were claiming was true seemed reasonable to check out, but then they came back in the comments saying that they should die, etc.
