    finally a space to diss on jordanlund bless 😭

    i was banned by this mod for politely noting how certain comments lead to escalation of inappropriate behavior. i noted how by bantering with infringing accounts after comment removal, !world@lemmy.world mods actually increased the work they needed to do to remove abusive content and amplified toxic voices as a whole. i used no unkind language and really at the time i genuinely hoped for improvement to the quality of the community.

    their response?

    • permabanned
    • for “mod abuse”
    • one month after i made the post in question

    don’t use !world@lemmy.world. their entire mod team is dedicated to just kind of fucking around in a sandbox with thousands of users, not to creating a space for genuine constructive world news engagement. preferably also just stop using lemmy.world when possible.

    Because it’s clearly normal for your typography and patience to improve when you’re pissed off

    I was banned by feminists for linking credible sources that the supposed suffragetes were Terrorists (It’s on Wikipedia)

    The point is I did my due diligence & posted sources & boy these were some vile people I tell you

      supposed suffragetes were Terrorists

      “Supposed”? Claiming the “suffragettes were terrorists” when < 1% were involved is just plain wrong. With blanket statements like that you sound like a fascist propagandist, and your ban was justified. Thanks for sending me down that rabbit hole though.

      Context is key. It looks like the suffragettes had been peacefully protesting for decades before a very small number resorted to militancy, and the result of their “terrorism” was minuscule — 4 deaths and 24 injuries total in 2 years — before they gave it up entirely when WW1 broke out.

      Remember! To the monarchs, revolution was “terrorism”. I’d never advocate for harming civilians, but "those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.’

      Also western governments historically — especially the criminals in 3 letter agency secret police — have constantly used terrorism to advance their own political, economic, and military agendas around the world. They only decry terrorism when doing so is politically or financially advantageous, like lying about WMD’s in Iraq to transfer trillions to their crony psychopaths in the MIC. Israel literally detonated thousands of pagers recently in a premeditated act of terrorism, but they’re the “goodies” so the incidental murder of civilians is justified (/s #psychotic). The US drone program around the world IS terrorism too.

      Authoritarians will never be overthrown peacefully, and all governments will always declare any insurgency terrorism; even when the insurgents have exhausted all other options and are explicitly targeting military. Hell, even Putin likely used the FSB to stage false flag terrorist attacks and seize power.

          A masterful retort.

          Surely this shall be recorded in the annals of history alongside other such historical zingers as “I know you are but that am i ?” or the seminal classic “Your Mother”.
