I blacked out irrelevant information.
This is less about the instance as a whole. The !worldnews@lemmy.ml mods are notoriously terrible. It's best to just avoid the community altogether.
Instead of defederating all of lemmy.ml, just blocking that one comm could be an option
Lmao I've also been banned by rimjob from World News over the stupidest shit. And yes, he did cite some bullshit even thought I was clearly within the rules and arguing in good faith. How dare someone stand their ground against Bruce Almighty from World News! Not surprised.
I had a bunch of reasonable posts deleted from World News. I just blocked it but defederating would be way better because then we can rebuild a healthier news community somewhere else.
Yeah that coat of red paint is definitely more stylish
While I agree that hexbear generally sucks, they and I do at least have an enemy in common. That ban is not so undeserved as I was led to expect.
Is your common enemy the People? Because Hexbear promotes authoritarianism and genocide denial.
Tankies say all kinds of stupid things, but even if we grant the thus-far unproven assumption that the person being addressed there is among them, when they're telling nazis to fuck off that is not an appropriate moment to try and start a pointless fight by asserting that they're wrong about every single thing.
It's not about being wrong or right, it's that their instance culture is aggressive, immature and arrogant from what I've seen. Those meme threads are done obnoxious circlejerks, dear god, I hope they've grown out of that at least.
Being polite about politics never won shit for anyone.
Just as long as you’re not Ukrainian, Tibetan, or Uyghur or else they’ll defend ending your life as a human being.
Don't forget they openly root for Hamas, which will do way worse than just kill people for being queer.
ok but do you condemn the idf
Yes. See, that wasn't hard, was it?
Well I'd be concerned if you didn't condemn the force committing genocide and blaming it on freedom fighters while feeding the gullible western liberals straight propaganda.
And I'd be concerned if you didn't condemn the religious zealots who would hunt and exterminate any LGBT people in Gaza.
Do you think there's no existing queer people in Palestine?
Yeah that's not what I said.
Then i can only infer you're infantilizing palestinian queer people. The idf is not giving them a choice. Hamas at least fights for their right to live in their own territory.
So Hamas is ideologically perfect and cannot be criticized in your eyes?
Also, Hamas is explicitly not fighting for queer rights. This is an objectively false statement, though I will openly embrace evidence to the contrary.
"Yeah that's not what I said." Do you understand what the 'critical' in 'critical support' means?
"Yeah that's not what I said."
I know Hamas is not explicitly fighting for queer rights, they're fighting for the lives of all Palestinian people. They are explicitly freedom fighters.
On the other hand, the IDF is indescriminately killing any and all Palestinian people, queer or otherwise.
Why do you libs think queer people can't come to their own conclusions about this?
Why do you think everyone who disagrees with you is a lib? Where I stand, being a leftist means finding both imperialism and religious zealotry abhorrent. But maybe I just didn't get the newsletter this month.
Believing philosophy is a zero sum game is really just lazy.
If it walks like a lib...
So what? It's no different from lemmy.world where the vast majority of users pay Palestinians lip service but get buttmad at the suggestion of holding the US government accountable for funding Israel, only because the man in office is their guy. You all are more than happy to sacrifice a few tens of thousands of Palestinians if it means you don't have to criticize dear leader.
Most of you are gigantic hypocrites on the topic of genocide.
🥱
Idk there's the dunk tank but apart from that CPT...
EDIT: yeah I was wrong I see what y'all mean...
