Personally, I’ve had comments I’ve posted on lemmy.ml deleted for “bigotry” for saying Iran supports Hamas which is an objective fact. It wasn’t even a commentary on policy but I’m still a bigot somehow.

I mean, shit, you even implied I am an enemy of basic human decency for making a mild criticism in a meme sub.

Your first mistake was being active on the .ml instance which generally has been anti-anarchist

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Realistically they're generally anti-anyone that disagrees with them. Not just of anarchists, or actual communists for that matter. They just tend to hate anarchists and real communists more. Because they know and can articulate where the bodies are buried better than most others so to speak.

Yeah I’ve started unfollowing .ml communities because I’ve found it’s just not worth contributing. I have an alt on dbzero’s instance that I’ve found much better.

I’ve got the entire instance blocked from all my feeds. Same with the other communist-friendly shitholes.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

ML aren't communist. Communist dislike them as well. I absolutely understand people not wanting to deal with ML though. They're often just as bad as hard core capitalists. But don't blame communists just because others missuse the noun, while not bothering with the actual ideology. Actual communists are pretty chill and generally your friend.

At some point you hit the no true Scotsman fallacy though

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Not at all. Any honest ML, and there are some will tell you the same. Leninism is not communism. The point of leninism was to try to short cut the evolution phase Marx spoke of, with revolution. That they could replace their feudal oppressors by emulating them. Mistakenly thinking that they could ultimately be any more benevolent than their previous rulers. They could not. Every time they tried, the surrounding culture became brutally, socially, oppressive. Jailing and slaughtering those that dissented.

It's the dishonest ML that pull the no true Scotsman shit. Claiming everyone that isn't them is not communist and somehow to the right. Of their oppressive authoritarian governments. That struggle to be even nominally left in any significant way. Completely ignoring the existence of anarcho communists and libertarian socialist. I mean for fucks sake the country most of the ML champion and praise these days is China. Which is state capitalist. Hardly communist.

I had an account full-on banned from that shithole for saying that the memes people use to respond to comments there are childish and cringy.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I dunno. I get spicy over there sometimes. Had a number of comments deleted etc. Though not been banned. I would barely notice if I was if it weren't for an open source project or two having official communities over there for some reason. Hell half the time I only realize I was there after the fact. And while I agree that meme posting/shit posting is childish and unproductive. I'm thinking you might've given them reason to ban.
