Well, being on .ml myself I would probably have the worst visibility on that but when I have seen people actually look at the mod log, it generally doesn’t agree with the posters claimed rationale for the ban

From your description, that certainly sounds like an uncontroversial take, I would love to see the actual post though… Commonly people’s summaries of posts that got them banned differ quite drastically from the actual post

Can you show me an example of a well-reasoned and well-sourced criticism of China that triggered moderation action?

One side of the lefty versus lib divide is continuously agitating for defederation and downvoting every opinion they don’t agree with. One side disabled downvotes. Care to guess which is which?

Sigh… Speaking only for myself, I am anti-Imperialist and pro-labor. I’m against the total dominion of the ruling class over all aspects of life in “The West”. I’m against a propaganda apparatus that deceives us into thinking servitude and misery is freedom. I’m against inventing atrocities supposedly committed by adversary states. I’m against thinking that reactionary thought can be defeated without state intervention. If that is pro shit then I am pro shit.

Have you ever considered that perhaps I once believed exactly as you did but then exposure to media outside of ruling class control here on lemmy “radicalized” me?

Try praising a US adversary state or mentioning the century of US imperialism and war crimes

Not believing the US propaganda apparatus is thoughtcrime
