I know this is cheating... But banned from all of .ml for posting an article about China

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-04/beijing-ai-and-censors-erase-tiananmen-square-massacre/105370772

I posted this in Privacy, and News.ml
They were both removed for "off topic" and "lemmy rules". Good times. It's fun to see them literally censor news reports about censorship in China.

This, by the way, is actual real freedom of speech censorship. It's censoring anyone that talks about the government.

Also, i love that they banned an .ee account for six months. That's just extra special sauce.

Do you mean the Privacy community on lemmy.ml?

I got temporarily banned there after criticizing the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and a moderator proceeded to remove most of my comments from the thread. Only the ones with >0 upvotes, interestingly. I give the ML mods brownie points for technique, at least.

(Regarding if "off topic" is PTB: I'm not sure if AI generation specifically regarding Tianmen square is on-topic for privacy, but I imagine it would be at home in communities discussing technology, AI, even free speech. But let's be fair, it's definitely pretense for an unwarranted instance-wide ban. Far more PTB than BPR.)

Yeah, both ml comms.
You're losing me with the abbreviations though.

Some acronyms you might see.

  • PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.

  • YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.

  • YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.

  • BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.

  • CLM - Clueless Mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.

thats why you block the triad of extremism, lemmyml, hexbear, and lemmygrad. these people are delusional to think russia and china are actually on the left, they are more to the right than anything.

They aren't left or right, just straight authoritarian. Policies only serve to saciate the masses and maintain control.

Unfortunatly it's the instance with the most vocal about the genocide in palestine. Their video communiry allow political videos unlime lemmy.world one which consider human right activism as political

They literally practice anti-freedom of speech. Just because they're anti Palestine genocide it doesn't make them good guys.

That's like saying "oh but hexbear is gay inclusive" when in reality they're a toxic cesspool of hate.

Not anymore there won't be, especially since now I have to redirect my work there because the actual second biggest c/palestine comm is [email protected] on ee sad lol

It's locked to moderators lmao ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

If the mod doesn't want to unlock for whatever reason, there's also [email protected] that can be built up

I tried to redirect my cross-posting stream there, but it's locked to mods only

The myth of "free speech" doesn't actually exist. For example lemmy.world bans all kinds of leftist stuff. Libs and tankies are basically the same thing with different imperial branding.

Free speech is the ability to not get censored for talking about the government. That's all it is. It's not a myth.

YDI. Once I posted article in c/palestine about how china was supporting the genocide. It caused some discussion. I mostly stayed away and I wasn't banned... But, if I had started to post in the sub every day about it, then I would probably be banned. The sub is about palestine. It's not about singling out china's role when there are plenty of other culpable parties.

Similarly, the topic of China, "AI", and "Tiananmen Square" are tired as fuck. I've seen version of this story for months if not years. It's just some corny gotcha at this point. Like any technology "AI" will be used by capital and its state for evil as we have already seen. Grow up and stop with the sinophobic bullshit.
