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
