This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly

Edit: I’m convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

    1. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

    I’m not seeing it, unless website admins are a marginalised class.

      I think that technically speaking, under Marxist theory, admins are the oppressors/tyrants. The users are the proletariat. Of course the metaphor falls apart due to how easily the users can escape and the users don’t pay taxes or anything

          Doesn’t really matter. And knowing about how bad the lemmy back end works and the absolute lack of admin and mod tools its just further evidence of their inability.

            Oh, I definitely wasn’t saying that to imply it somehow makes them better, more that I would hope someone of that level of importance to this shit would learn to just run/build it and stay mostly hands off, not to play in the dirt. At the very least hide behind a separate user name.

            So many open source projects get ruined because the creators/maintainers can’t stop themselves from getting into fights with their users or community.

        ableism
        discrimination in favor of able-bodied people.

        That still doesn’t check out… unless you’re implying they have cognitive impairments that prevent them from moderating as effectively as other instance admins 🤔

      The lemmy.ml admins who do this kind of thing are proud tankies. Pro-Russia, Pro-China, Pro-North-Korea, authoritarian “communists” are a marginalized class, dontcha know?

        I’m actually glad MLs have ramped up the pro north korea talk recently. I was starting to doubt being against these users that claim to be progressive, but then I saw them defend a clear-cut present-day dictatorship.

        I can somehow understand pro-China and less so, but still conceptionally grasp pro-Russia. But how on Earth can you really think NK is not a brainwash concentration camp?

          Basically, “capitalism bad = anything anti-capitalism good.” And that’s pretty ironic to both support both NK and China for that reason, since China is an authoritarian capitalist state operating under the name of communism.

          Tankies operate on a very simple belief system.

          US bad > Russia don’t like US > Russia good

          same for north korea, cuba, anything

          I remember seeing to mod in the post commenting on someone’s mention of North Korea. First he posted an image detailing the deaths caused by the US and South Korea during the Korean war, and that was it, no mention about NK specifically. Later he said that there was no proof that NK is brutally repressing its citizens. Then when someone said how everyone who fled NK said so, he said how they only do it for the shock value to get stories out and make money out of that, or something like that.

          Basically people like that find anything anti-US as good, and if you say anything bad about those countries, they’ll ask for proof and then call whatever you provide fake.

            I also don’t see anything when I close my eyes and plug my ears.

          They won’t see it because they censor no-no words.

          These same people insist that like-minded adults talking things out will produce a stateless utopia. It’s funny, from a distance.
