I fled Reddit due to the authoritarian mod craziness, but Lemmy.world seems infested with too much Communist craziness. I’m leftist, but communism is idiocy. Is there an instance that leans more democratic socialist but refrains from going off the deep end?

    All right I’ll bite, why is that a red flag? This is Lemmy. Not so big that you don’t end up in communities you’re not a part of all the time. Hell I’m not a part of this community.

      You’re so certain you did absolutely nothing wrong, but that requires you to understand the community rules and be certain you didn’t violate them. But you admit you not only aren’t a member but don’t give a shit about the community.

      Do you really not see how this comes across?

        Can you show me one community on all of Lemmy in which it’s rule says you cannot criticize the source of a post? Also I don’t know why you think I’m incapable of checking the rules of a community, extremely insulting for no reason whatsoever. If you’re so positive I did something wrong you’re free to prove it. You can go back and look it up.

        Do you not see how you’re coming across though? You say you’re not pretending that there isn’t a massive moderation problem on world and here you are tying yourself in knots when people tell you of massive moderation problems on the world.

          We are way off in the theoretical right now and you are asking me to defend a point I didn’t make.

          You said all you did was criticize an article. You have given no other context other than 1) you weren’t a part of the community and 2) you don’t give a shit about the community. Now you’re off talking about theoretical nonsense.

          I am responding to what you wrote. This is your story, it’s supposed to be favorable toward you and frankly it isn’t. You don’t owe me an explanation but if you’re going to defend yourself you’re going to have to do better than strawmen and sounding disrespectful towards a community you allegedly did nothing wrong in.

            Disrespectful to a community you serious? And no other context? I told you it was a New York Post article. If you need more context than that then I can’t help you. You are just not a serious person.

            You have backed yourself into an impossible situation to defend. That’s why you’re resorting to personal attack and hostility here. There’s entire communities, which apparently you don’t respect I guess, dedicated to mod abuse in World in particular. Yet you seem to think it’s impossible for a mod to be unreasonable. As I’ve said before if you’d like to show me how my comments were unreasonable you may do so.

              You criticized a NYP article on a community you aren’t a part of/don’t give a shit about and that single act of disagreeing got you banned.

              That’s the whole story? And you think it’s thorough/properly explains what happens?

                That’s what I’m saying. Because, as you’ve been told, some mods are fucking nuts. Your apparent blind faith in their supposed rational Goodwill is bizarre.

                  What blind faith? I’m saying your story is likely incomplete. That doesn’t mean the mods weren’t total dicks too. You’re just bad at making a case.

                    If I make it such a bad case how come you haven’t proved me wrong yet? You just called me a liar five times in a row. That’s all you have.
