I tried to challenge some ideas in World News and I guess asking questions about Chinese censorship is xenophobic. Now I'm banned for not being pro Chinese censorship.

Oh gosh, I thought you meant .world World News for a minute there. Yeah the problem is .ml, they're tankies.

.ml

There’s your problem. If they stated their rules, rather than forcing people to figure them out by trial and error, I’d have less of an issue with it. Like, lemmygrad is explicit in its intent and they state it outright in their rules. Lemmy.ml plays it too coy, and so comes off as incredibly manipulative.

You just broke the secret law!

Typical fascist behavior.

whats that about "curry smell" and "they discovered deodorant"?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Those sound like comments on a different topic, specifically the story about Paris' improvements in air quality lately (because they built bike infrastructure and partially banned cars). I had to remove nearly identical comments in the !fuckcars@lemmy.world thread on it, for the same reason.

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 25 points 6 hours ago

Those are other users' comments. Not sure how those are relevant to JiveTurkey's comments.

I wouldn't take it seriously, they gave me a month long instance ban for saying a federal representative democracy is by definition a type of democracy.

"American propaganda" or something.

Is it democratic when the largest state and the smallest state both get two senators?

Is it? Do you think the US was founded as a democracy?

[–] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 1 points 40 minutes ago

Uhhh yeah. The Constitution establishes a federal democratic republic form of government. That is, we have an indivisible union of 50 sovereign States. It is a democracy because people govern themselves. It is representative because people choose elected officials by free and secret ballot.

God, shut up nerd, like your red fascist bullshit and their one party elections were or are better. Do you want to hear that it's a flawed system? It is. All states are and should be abolished.

Still a type of democracy, and still more democratic than anything Russia or China have ever managed.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Well, there's also the racism

[–] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Serious question. Did I say something racist?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 21 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Now that I look again, I see that you failed to filter the logs and some other user's trash was in there.

[–] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry. Didn't realize that was an option.
