Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

Their rules are on their front page.

Edit: OP said this:

I'm literally just responding to it. Thanks for the downvotes 🤡

Rule 1 aka you can’t point out the moderators overt bias or conjecture as to why their bias exists.

I did not downvote you myself, but at a guess perhaps it's the fact that not everyone uses a browser. Voyager in particular is very popular and I seems to go out of its way to hide that even - like you can click on "Sidebar" to view the community rules, but I have not seen how to be able to read the instance ones.

Voyager also by default hides the instance names after people's accounts. Every community on every instance is presented as if it were the same as all others. By that logic then, we are all the same space (with no distinction provided) as Lemmy.ml - the entire Threadiverse is very much is a tankie bar.

Strange that it doesn’t show for me when I check, must be a mobile issue of some kind.

Still laughable though, TIL it’s bigoted to suggest the #1 perpetrators of digital warfare are probably committing more digital warfare.

Open the sidebar, that's where instance rules live, generally.

Yeah why are you getting dumped on??? Insane

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Prior to the edit people probably thought they were trying to be snarky about the rules inatead of their intent to show the rules are displayed despite the OP not seeing them.

Bigotry towards russians? Lmao

[–] eleijeep@piefed.social 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Well they were talking about the instance (probably wrong) rather than the bot accounts (possible).

Also, is a 2 day ban really worthy of an indignant post like this?

[–] dou9m@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Wasn’t worthy of a post, yet it’s worthy to look at and comment on? Lol.

Genuine discussion is good, which is exactly why I view banning people for saying things as minor as what I said as insane. I’m not just blanket statement assuming all Russians are bad.

Didn’t see it was two days, may as well be a lifetime ban though now that I know the mods ban for effectively just mentioning other countries. It’s bizarre.
