    same thing on WorldNews (not to be confused with World News)

    got banned for calling out a tankie for posting russian propaganda (apparantly the ukrainians are putting hits out on enfants, specifically, you know. /s)

    no warning, no explanation.i just said “yea sure, tankie” in response to a misinfo post, and then boom. banned.

    checked the active mod who i WILL NAME.

    ourtoothbrush

    of course his comment history is jam packed with pro russian, pro putin, pro ccp content. denies genocides, work camps, the works.

    .ml is explicitly a restricted speech instance. It’s a safe space for Tankies, not dissimilar to Nazi safe spaces. They don’t and will never care about your good intended arguments.

        Who cares?

        No, seriously — we have upvotes and downvotes for a reason. Why are people not allowed to simply downvote the ‘Fuck RT! Fuck Russia!’ comments and move on?

        Actually, for someone arguing in good faith, wouldn’t these be perfect chances to provide examples of how ‘Fuck RT! Fuck Russia!’ is actually an incorrect perspective?

        The answer is yes, it would be the perfect chance. The reason they choose to ban instead is because they’re cultivating an echo chamber.

        I didn’t say this particular case was a good intentioned argument. You’re not allowed to say fuck RT or fuck Russia on .ml is the main point.

    “Kill list”. 🌝

    That’s just a lie on top of a lie. That list was basically for background checks for individuals either actively engaged in war against Ukraine OR partaking in propaganda or legalization of occupation.

    So at worst - if one tried to do business with Ukrainians - they’d be denied due to their place in the list, or simply not let in at the border, if border guards cared enough. After all, it’s unofficial and is run by God knows who.

    Also, notice the language choice - “Ukrainians add”. Just generalizing and vilifying entire people.

      So basically they care more about this fake “kill list” but don’t give a fuck about the people Russian mercenary/army actually killed.

      Well, this is not indeed a kill list. The current husband of my ex-wife is on the list because he’s visited her relatives in Crimea. He’s antiwar, anti Putin, etc, but the list doesn’t make any sense as of today

        Anti-war but clearly not anti-occupation. The proper way for someone to visit Ukraine would be to ask Ukraine first, not for a Russian to do it like it’s your own country after the annexation of Crimea.

          not anti-occupation

          pro-buerocratic. FTFY.

          Edit: can’t say that for him, but I would never do that theatre. Ukraine hasn’t had any means to enforce its border policy

            Arriving to it from the bridge built by Putin was illegal entry. Ukraine still had control over the northern side of Crimea, so if the person weren’t pro-annexation, how come it wasn’t done that way?

              Hmmm… because you do visit your fucking relatives using the easiest way possible, avoiding possible encounters with border control? I don’t believe I’m talking with a real human right now tbh

                Not how it works. Most people would respect laws and/or certain moral guidelines before they think of whether it’s easy. In a car, speeding would get you to your destination quicker too, but it’s not all about you.

    Is there any easy way to migrate from lemmy to piefed? Would rather spend my time and donations on sane devs working to improve their platform instead of curating their own personal propoganda fiefdom.

      Moving posts/comments to other sites isn’t a thing in threadiverse. Especially if you’re a regular user. However, migrating the content of Lemmy instance database to Piefed is apparently starting to look like a feasible thing and some Lemmy instances like slrpnk are exploring that possibility in the future.

      What you can do is export your Lemmy subscriptions and import them on a Piefed instance.

      There is an import function in piefed and an export in Lemmy, though it doesn’t do comments/posts, just subs/blocks
