Have we gotten rid of mentally ill Pug of Jesus yet?
what is wrong with pugjesus? dude almost single-handedly posts history memes, gives context, and seems a very chill person
I have no patience for campism, which puts me on the bad side of many people on here who adore playing tribalist games about how some atrocities and some racism is good, for some bizarre fucking reason.
Separately, I argue with a very bitter tone, which also puts me on the bad side of many people, and those folk are much more justified in feeling negatively towards me.
Well, I thought so too & I still am really happy for all the posts (I didn't know about their mod history, I don't follow such politics), but I (Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club) just got perma-banned from history comm a few minutes ago for saying countries with permanently present USA troops & USA nuclear weapons, and where USA gov influences what is taught in schools etc are "colonies".
This wasn't against any rules & it was explanatory to why the OPs post pic ever came to existence.
Idk, banning any slight USA "criticism" (if that's even what that was) feels like unnecessary shrinking the community, but modding is work too & someone has got to do it ... then again vibe banning feels like a wrong way forward.
Generally I don't think ppl should be banned solely on pov (without being uncivil or something actually bad). No warning or a chance to reply. Just ban.
I guess I can still read, but not updoot their history memery.
It wasn't about "USA criticism", but the idea that South Korea is an American 'colony' is not only bizarre but a common tankie canard - one which you repeated in several comments in that thread.
POV is often something actually bad. I'm not here to make the comms I moderate a safe space for campists and fascists or their talking points. If you want to talk bullshit about 'occupied Korea', that's what the tankie triad is for.
This isn't a metaphorical Nazi bar, and I'm not about to let it become one no matter how politely it's phrased.
Have a rant on https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/modabuse, get some pitchforks together, ya know
Check Bloomcole's comment history, that will give you a clue why he says that. It includes sophisticated comments such as:
That said, PugJesus' !fediverseslander@lemmy.world could come off as a bit odd, but that's nothing in comparison.
Whoa, lol, I'm glad (?) I put that though the translator.
Well, I get why that sort of convo would get banned.
Yeah what the fuck
Yeah and it's not the only comment like that. The comment link from when I banned them is dead now. It and the other comments are harder to find now, because they posted it on their lemm.ee alt. I think that's why they haven't been banned yet on Lemmy.world.
LOL
