How are mods like this still allowed to "moderate" and run communities here? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

It isn’t necessarily my personal view, its what I’ve experienced empirically throughout certain forum based internet spaces

Unless you ran experiments/collected data (in which case, I woul genuinely love to see that) to gather such info, your "empirical" data is just observation-based. In which case, it can be skewed.

I've noticed your account is relatively new. So of course if one were to hang out with centrists and/or on Reddit, the average experience would be unbalanced as the typical use of the term tankie would be viewed as "generic insult to a person on the political left".

But on Lemmy I've noticed far more people using the term tankie accurately to describe a specific fringe of the leftist movement. The type of fringe that, for example, still defends the USSR no matter what and is incapable of criticizing authoritarianisms.

Having said all of this...welcome to Lemmy! Lol hope you like it here :)

I truly don't understand how any instance could remain federated with such a disgusting and untrustworthy company

Totalitarians, fascists and other scary governments prosecute you without telling you what you did, and everybody agrees that this is an evil practice. But now it's normal and accepted on social media in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

No, you're just an ahole who has no idea about the horrors that one might face in a totalitarian regime and now you're trying to be edgy and die on a pointless hill with this stupid one liners and ignorant takes. Bye

I am convinced you are just a troll.

You cannot be so dense as not to see that you are making no sense, while still trying to compare apples to oranges despite all the users telling you how insane of a comparison it is.

I refuse to believe anyone can be so insane as to dare say that living under a totalitarian regime can be in any shape or form similar to getting banned from any website

Can we agree on that?

Absolutely fucking not.

Social media companies do not prosecute you in any shape or form. At most the can ban you from using their platforms. That's it.

Being prosecuted by the government of a country (especially a totalitarian one) is an entirely different matter.

And bless your heart for living such a privileged life that you think those 2 things are even on the same level to begin with

Your username makes a lot of sense after reading such opinion, I'm going to be honest.

Do you sincerely think those 2 things are even remotely comparable?

Be careful agreeing with this post. OP is posting a lot of racist, ableist and bigoted content

Considering how much fascism is on the rise globally and the results in the latest US election, most people do not in fact recognize fascism. Nor see it as the threat it is
