Lmao I’ve also been banned by rimjob from World News over the stupidest shit. And yes, he did cite some bullshit even thought I was clearly within the rules and arguing in good faith. How dare someone stand their ground against Bruce Almighty from World News! Not surprised.

I had a bunch of reasonable posts deleted from World News. I just blocked it but defederating would be way better because then we can rebuild a healthier news community somewhere else.

Yeah… at this point I find insufferable liberals that don’t understand the difference between tankies and fascists nauseating enough to ban you on sight, too.

Yeah that coat of red paint is definitely more stylish

I don’t know what you all are whining about - tankies are really just liberals who have given up on any pretense of being pro-democratic. After all… isn’t Lenin’s “state capitalism” just another way of preserving your precious status quo?

It’s not about being wrong or right, it’s that their instance culture is aggressive, immature and arrogant from what I’ve seen. Those meme threads are done obnoxious circlejerks, dear god, I hope they’ve grown out of that at least.

Yeah, hexbear people actually defend my rights as a human being while a lot of other communities let Nazis freely JAQ away threads into oblivion

This is less about the instance as a whole. The !worldnews@lemmy.ml mods are just notoriously terrible. It’s best to just avoid the community altogether.

Instead of defederating all of lemmy.ml, just blocking that one comm could be a
