First comment removed from asklemmy thread about who’s good/bad re Israel/Palestine is apparently too nuanced and anti-extremist for snowflake dessalines. Ya gotta fuel the hate and extremism if ya wanna comment round tankie parts…
The linux ban was regarding a comment (pretty sure the OG comment was different) about Russian maintainers being removed from the linux project. Obviously you can’t call out capitalist Putin’s authoritarian dictatorship in the communist sub, because ML mods are pro-authoritarian and pro-dictatorship; not anti-capitalist… At this point I’m convinced most “tankies” are just PsyOps operatives.

You are allowed to praise the Great Leaders Xi, Kim and Putin as much as you want.
In response to the post title, yes but also you cannot say outright that you’re pro-capitalist-dictatorship you have to pretend that the capitalist-dictatorship you support is somehow communism.
I got banned too… It turns out that if you say that there are some Russians on a list of entities that Americans can’t do business with, that’s racist against Russians, I guess.
TIL Russian is a race
It’s definitely an ethnicity, at least. The distinction between what counts as one race or another is often incredibly arbitrary, and there’s not really much difference between hatred for a “race” and hatred for any given ethnic group.
As an example, people in Japan are generally discriminatory against Chinese people, which I’d still describe that as racism even if both have the same “race” of Asian.
Slav is an ethnicity, or at least an ethno-linguistic group, and it’s much broader than just Russia. Russian is just a nationality. Russians (specifically) are not an ethnicity unto themselves. Czechs, Poles, Ukrainians and Bulgarians (among many others) all fall into the Slavic group along with Russians.
You can’t be racist against a nationality. Maybe jingoist, but jingoism is typically identified as considering a particular nation to be superior to others, rather than inferior to others.
Ethnicity has no consistent definition, and the everyday use of racism can absolutely describe discrimination of a specific nationality. It’s also just arguing pointless semantics regardless, especially when the original complaint is about russians not being a “race” which is an utterly made up term that means whatever racists want it to.
There’s often a lot of overlap between ethnicity and nationality, but they’re not mutually exclusive. In this case, Russian can apply as both. There are a lot of non-ethnic Russians (non-Slavic, even) who are native to Russia, and there are linguistic/cultural/genealogical differences which separate Russians from other Slavic groups.
dessalines is one of the two creators of lemmy.
Man whenever piefed gets an ios app I’m switching I don’t wanna support these assholes.
Lenin claimed that capitalists would sell him the rope he hangs them with. I use lemmy to, among other stuff, spread that tankies are stupid & russia sucks.
Feel the same. I’ll never donate to those lemmy devs again
What frontend are you using that shows the admin/mod responsible?
This is the Voyager mobile app I think
I thought it was visible due an update or community config. I’ve never seen the mod name visible before (and considered that suspect after Lemmy was touted as a transparent alt to reddit).
Now that I’m aware this mod is actually the ml admin and creator of lemmy I suspect he wants to be visible so everyone knows how much of a big boy strongman he is.
On voyager go to your profile then click the three dots on top right then click mod log
Dude is a huge coward.
Rule 1: All commenting must be by Russian bots only
I deleted my lemmy.ml account this morning. Very Russian, in English. Odd. I did not feel the community over there.
