blah blah blah, no one needs to delete your comment I will go ahead and block your account and your so I never have to read your worthless text ever again
Of course you will. The irony of posting a censorship meme, and then censoring an opposing view will be completely lost on you.
Waaaaah, not paying attention to me when I throw a tantrum is censorship
It goes like this.
Someone drops a blatant turd of a post somewhere on .ml.
I make a comment pointing out what's wrong with the post.
Heated exchange, I get called fash or westoid or whatever else is supposed to feel like a slur.
I refuse to back down, and then all of my comments get deleted.
The tantrum is the deletion of comments that don't bend the knee.
You know your modlog is public right?
Feels like they're bragging about how terrible it is

Seems that way definitely.
It sounds like you're looking for some sort of gotcha.
I stand by everything that I've said.
No I just think racism and ableism is bad and not something I'd personally brag about.
How people with no introspection describe throwing a tantrum after being dunked on
Me: Stalin was awful and killed lots of people.

Oh no, I've been dunked on!
You and I have very different views on what it means to be dunked on.
Your mod log continues to be public.
You're on an instance that is defederated from communist instances, effectively censoring them. Either admit that you're fine with censorship in general but don't like it being used against you, or move to an instance that is more broadly federated.
Fact: I was aware of the existence of piefed, but gave zero fucks about it. The specific reason that I looked further into piefed, was some .ml user chirping them in a software update announcement.
I saw that, reflected on how I've been treated by .ml moderators, and signed up.
I'm on piefed specifically because of how .ml is moderated, and because it causes consternation in people who insist that Stalin was a really good guy.
There are less censored Piefed instances than Piefed.world, you chose one that censored views you disagree with. Either way, that's an odd way to choose software. Plus, Piefed.world is still federated with Lemmy.ml. Honestly, if Piefed.world treats you without censorship, that says more about them considering your history of neo-Nazi support and dehumanization of ethnicities.
As for Stalin, he was the leader of the world's first federation of socialist states during their most tumultuous period, and did a good job in doing so. Far better than contemporaries like Churchill, Truman, and FDR, not to mention Hitler. He made mistakes and errors, there's no denying that, but he was certainly on the right side of history.
I would like to understand: is there generally an expectation that anyone should be able to say anything, anywhere online? That's never been my understanding but I've seen a considerable number of people who see get comments deleted or being banned as censorship.
Like, technically and literally maybe that's the right word but the implication is that it is outrageous. I feel like I'm missing something.
