politics@reddit,world - i mean lemmy.world

Stupid mods, well one of them, refuse to even look at a dictionary definition of the word troglodyte and prefers to stick to the idiotic method of using Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. End result is that I was banned for calling living humans troglodytes even though there are communities in Tunesia and China (and I supplied links, which were of course deleted as was the link to Cambridge dictionary). Damn censorship. I thought Lemmy was founded to get away from those type of shenanigans that happened all to often on reddit?

Lauchs,

“End result is that I was banned for calling living humans troglodytes even though there are communities in Tunesia and China”

But were you talking about communities in Tunesia and China, or were you being a dick to someone?

Frankly, c/politics is much more enjoyable without puerile name calling. If you can’t express yourself like an adult, that’s on you not the mods.

philo,

Funny thing is I was not calling a member anything. I was referring to a few people who appeared in a video that was posted and they were from Yemen.

Ilovethebomb,

Getting banned for calling someone a troglodyte is absolutely on brand for Lemmy.world.

Yet insisting I am calling them a prehistoric cave dweller and subhuman when I am providing proof otherwise is exactly what they criticize Trump and his cohorts of doing. That’s the kind of juvenile bs that goes on in high school, on Facebook, and in Elon Musk;s house.

BTW, I wasn’t banned from the instance, I was banned from the community.

You thought wrong. Lemmy was created as a decentralized link aggregation platform for the fediverse. Also, Lemmy’s creators are not in charge of lemmy.world. That’s the whole point: people can create their own instances with their own rules and moderation philosophies without having to answer to any one ruling entity.

If you don’t like it, go make your own instance.

philo,

I’m fine on Lemmy.zip. TBH, it seems to be the instance where I see more of Lemmy than on any other instance. Guess that’s because they don’t really block many others or not many block them. My gripe is the censorship on that community especially since it seems to be the only active political community I’ve found with my shitty search skills. I’m sure there are other communities that censor like the authoritarian instances beehaw and lemmy.ml for example, but I haven’t really run into them yet.
