Doesn’t seem very metal to me, being a long time metal head.
On behalf of the metal community, everyone is welcome. Fuck transphobia. Pick all your brothers, sisters, and non-binary family off the ground and lift them up.
I’m curious, how do you feel about the hateful side of metal? There’s a lot, or was a lot, of neo-nazis in the ‘metal’ community back in the day.
I’m wondering how the community has evolved and if there is any kind of differentiation between the neo-nazis and everyone else.
Pretty sure the response is quite simply to tell them to fuck off, atleast in my experience. But im also into a rather niche metal sub community that you have to be careful in cause it has like two side, nazis and antifascists who want to hang nazis.
Sounds pretty cunty of em.

May be worth flagging that user to the lemmyworld instance admins, they show up in the modlog quite a bit
I did that. And it looks like they took care of it.
What was it?

For anyone who doesn’t know where the modlog is, if you’re on PC you can click the green “Modlog” button on the right sidebar, which can be found alongside other community stats like users / day. Warning: Do this at your own risk.
Out of curiosity, what is the line for content that would be censored from there? Being able to go and see the post and poster, in some cases, won’t be enough for moderation.

It’s also possible to read it in the Liftoff app by accessing the so-called “Nerd stuff” of the comment
Using the Jerboa app you can apparently use the “View Source” option on the comment to view it as well. Just figured that out myself out of curiosity.

I got a 6 day ban from reddit for telling a mod in r/funny that it’s not right to judge a person for posting a meme in a different sub. Which is what convinced me to make an account on Lemmy
I’m not saying it warranted a ban, but if someone is posting transphobic memes in another sub, they should be judged for that.
Yeah but that’s different. That’s hate
I got a 6 day ban for say Nazis should be punched. I’m sorry, but it was also in the context of when they ran over that girl with the car at the rally.
Doesn’t matter the context, imo, nazis always deserve to be punched.
That subreddit sucks. They banned Sabaton for being “Nazis”. I don’t think they’ve ever listened to Sabaton.
Sabaton do have a lot of Nazi fans, but we shouldn’t yield ground to them
what? like literally what?
Even in the “official” (i.e. in Scene-Relevant Magazines) scene in Germany they’re regarded as fascist aligned, just because of their military theme. Yeah, idk man, idk…
we should really quit playing “who can spot more fascists” and making up excuses to call everyone a nazi/fascist
No, I think they should be called out for who they are.
so not fascists?
I don’t really know. It depends on the case.
The militaristic themes and what I feel is a glorification of war makes me uncomfortable. The use of historical glory from war is so common among fascists and nationalist. And no that doesn’t mean that anyone who likes them are, my son for instance like them. But my own personal choice is not to listen to them even though I think that they play good music.
It’s the same with Rammstein though (before the Scandal about Lindemann I mean) being regarded as catering to Nazis, because they sang crass texts in, well, German. Completely casting aside the subtle criticism of toxic masculine themes and fascist ideology. Even “Deutschland” was critisized as fascist, when it featured a black Germania and was an in your face criticism of Germany’s constant identity crisis and the result being fascism and the holocaust. It’s totally missing the point.
And Sabaton isn’t taking a side when singing about war events, they sing about the super human feats, but sometimes also about distress, people experienced on the battlefield, about great tacticians and warriors in every age of every nation. That is what Power Metal is about 70% of the time. War. Heck.
That subreddit sucks.
Replying just to echo this sentiment.
LOL, what a braindead move
the problem is that you were visiting a space that begins with /r/.

Yikes.
We may have an uphill battle though, like biology
I’m afraid the joke’s on you on this one. The biology simply is not that simple as we were taught in kindergarten.
There’s lot about this on the nets, my favorite is this episode on Huberman Lab.
…And you’re on an instance called “aussie zone”. Isn’t cunt practically a term of endearment down there?
It can go either way. I mostly use it on inanimate objects that have injured me.
So, essentially, “cunt” can refer to anything, good or bad, in Australia.
Kinda like ass in USA
Or marklar on Marklar
I’ve never heard ass refer to anything positive other than actual asses, anything else has a negative connotation.
He’s a bad ass. What a kick ass way to dance.

Ah yes, an aussie in their natural dialect that only their friends and family speak.

It’s as brotherly as throwing some shrimps on the barby!
That’s a weird way to spell prawns.
I was banned from r/politics for “hate speech” for comparing Krysten Sinema to Delores Umbridge from Harry Potter. The totally arbitrary enforcement of the rules by authoritarian mods is a large part of the reason I made the migration to Lemmy after more than 14 years on Reddit. I was a refuge from the Digg migration, and am now a refuge from Reddit bullshit and proud of it!
Well, no wonder! That’s an insult to Delores Umbridge!
A lot of mods thought they had a power downvote - the way reddit works where it hides your removed comment from everyone but you with zero notification (like a per-comment shadowban) is pretty annoying. I’d post in some subs and check with one of the comment deletion tools, and sure enough, that would explain why I’d get no replies or votes. Sure is annoying to take the time to express yourself and talk top people, and some twat of a mod arbitrarily or mendaciously decides your comment is not allowed and removes it.
Mine was for saying that I want Donald Trump to lose all his cases in the courts, and I can’t be assed to care about whether he lives long enough to serve the sentences he receives, as that’s not the point. This was in response to someone else saying taking him through the court system is pointless, because he won’t live long enough to pay for those crimes.
They cited a rule against inviting violence and showing an aggressive apathy for human life, and gave me a permenant ban.
I can certainly see the backwards, twisted logic used to justify the argument, if you’re willing to completely disregard the context and clearly defined goal of the statement. Even if your head is up your ass about the rule as written and see my statement as far more aggressive than I tried to portray it, you’d think a decent mod would respond to a polite appeal with “your comment is deleted, think about the way you word yourself in the future”, and the ban being revoked. But I suspect there’s something else going on there, so I decided it’s really no loss anyway.
The censorship on /r/politics is insane.
After witnessing it firsthand, I can’t go there anymore because of how secretly-curated it is.
I’m super glad lemmy has a public modlog so I can see everything for myself, even if it was taken down.

No no, that’s Alanis Morissette.
I got a ban once for calling someone a good cunt in a supposedly Australian run sub because someone else got offended by it for some reason.
It is an actual term of endearment in Australia.
Everyone’s the same in the pit.
…indeed. And that’s why at least in my time punk and metal got along well.
Metal memes is a shit tier sub anyway, you ain’t missing nothing.
What are the alternatives? I’ll happily subscribe. Reddit is dying a slow death, and I haven’t found a new place to get metal suggestions or news
I mean if you want news and suggestions I don’t think metal memes was the right sub in the first place. I haven’t looked in a couple weeks but Lemmy’s got some metal communities. Idk how active they are because I listen to power metal and there wansnt a power metal community when I looked. So I guess look for a general metal community (there’s one on Lemmy.world) and from there communities more specific to your genre tastes. There’s also a metal memes community on Lemmy.world if you want the memes.
Strange, I’m perfectly able to enjoy metal without resorting to misogynistic slurs, but maybe I’m the odd one out here.
That stigma is really only a US thing. British people say it left and right all the time
You’re damn right. If I found out that any cunt around here has been using misogynistic slurs, I’m going to let them know what I think of them.
Stigma isn’t even the word. You wouldn’t say there’s a stigma associated with using ethnic slurs, or homophobic slurs, so why should misogyny get a pass?
True, the only problematic thing about this is the exact slur they used. You can perfectly state that they are a-holes, dimwits etc. but some slurs are so minority focused I get why you shouldn’t use them. And yet, a perma ban for that? Bit hard, bro.
‘Cunt’ isn’t minority focused though
But, I don’t understand. That’s the scientific definition, how can they be angry about that?
It’s somehow normal to call anyone a -phobe or an -ist for pretty much any reason, or just by an unrelated assumption. You can’t be surprised if some people don’t appreciate it.
I wasn’t addressing an individual, see screenshot.
Removed by mod
Don’t want to be called an -ist or a -phobe, maybe don’t act like one? I don’t get called either, but I don’t act like either.
You see how that works?
Lucky, but no that’s not always how it works. I will not elaborate here further.
I have been found out in my ruse, so I will seek silence as a means to keep from further degradation of my argument. I will provide no examples, and take no questions. Good day.
