Hey, I see you are from feddit.it, as a fellow Italian I can tell you that a lot of people I know buy from shein and Temu too.

I guess it’s just very common among the youth

I guess you are only allowed to vote for as long as you vote for what/who you are told to vote for

Does leftypol have the worst UI i have ever seen as a joke ?

First of all, rule number 1 on Lemmy.ml is:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

Obviously the comment might not fall within the unwanted behaviours directly listed on rule 1 but I have taken a look at the Code of Conduct and I can say that, like every code of conduct, it’s worded in a way so that a whole lot of things could fall under it.

Also looking at the banned comment, let’s keep in mind that it was responding to a meme on the meme community. But the comment is written in a way so that the author makes it clear that their position, their ideas, are superior to that of the poster of the meme.

The state owning the means of production means the people running the state have a shit ton of power.

This first statement is an opinion of the person that commented, but it is phrased like it’s a fact that everyone should know.
If the author of the comment wanted a nice and civil discussion, he should have provided some sources for this statement.

Just takes a handful of bad people to turn that into oppression as we’ve seen in the USSR and China.

Again, this second phrase is also phrased like a statement. It’s also trying to dismiss the existence itself of democratic centralism and, without understanding how countries that implement it work, the commenter says that those countries are “oppressive” and “run by bad people”.
Did this person provide any sources for their claim ? No, why then is the next phrase in the comment the following:

If you disagree feel free to explain your reasoning.

As you can see from this last line of the comment, the author is trying to bait a debate.
He is saying that if you disagree with the bunch of made up, unsourced, statement the author believes in, you have to explain your reasoning.
This is not a way to engage in a healthy debate, you don’t make a response based on propagandized assumptions, with no source to back them up, and then pass the microphone to the other side.

I personally believe then that the Rule 1 in question might actually be the one from the community itself:

Be civil and nice.

In no way was the author of the comment proposing his world view and trying to engage in discussion in a nice and civil way, especially when he knew that most people in .ml would disagree with them.

You actually did the same thing with your own comment. You are trying to make your position seem superior as you bait me into debate. How ? Well, I’ll keep it short by only talking about the end of your response:

Is the fog starting to lift yet or are you still going to be intentionally dense about why people don’t like you?

This way of phrasing your request to debate on this, is clearly made in a way so that it insults the opponent, it is supposed to make the person responding look dumb, “dense”, and you as the enlightened, “fogless”, individual with the better opinion.

That’s way I probably am not going to reply again if you respond to this comment, you don’t seem to want a nice discussion on way that person was banned, but are instead trying to bait a debate where you phrase your response so that you don’t actually have to read mine, to actually understand where I’m coming from, because you feel enlightened, while my position is “fogged” and “dense”.

Imagine going to communities that sometimes literally have rules like “not being a liberal”, in a lemmy server made specifically for people to discuss a specific type of socio-economic structure, and then being mad when you get banned for not following the rules.

On some of those communities, your opinions are not welcomed, that’s way people get banned.
If the mods were to become softer on bans, every post would have the same infinite discussion about the same thing over and over again. If I wanted to see an endless amount of liberal takes, I would just use one of my backup accounts on other lemmy servers.

Lemmygrad and Hexbear have a different scope, they are mostly for people who don’t want to get on internet fights all the time, and in order to preserve the good vibes, unwanted people get banned. No reason to be surprised about it.

I’m starting to see some kind of trend with people being mad about the moderation on hexbear and .ml

Very curious indeed.

Me, a one layer of irony understander, when i’m told that a second layer of irony is in the post:

Not according to this recently passed law:

That’s a great building !
Juche architecture strikes again.

I mean, urinal cakes are a real thing but I don’t think anyone would call them “real cakes” and eat them for dessert.

just finished it, it’s such a good story !

Thanks to this comment I started to read “Breasts are my favorite things in the world” and honestly I have to say that it’s sooo peak fr fr

The economy is literally going to collapse any day now !!

Click and hold on the center of the video, then click “save”.

But it doesn’t let you download every video for some reason.

Wow, for the first time ever I know all the top 5 songs in someone’s Spotify Wrap

I’ve blocked that account for quite a while and I can tell you that the grass is greener on this side.

I tried to ran the calculations in a dream and they are 100% correct according to it.

This is the full speech for those interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCOZgsdZb-I

Just in time for the far-right party afd to win.
I think I saw they are trending very well in polls and Elon Musk wants to intervene in the election campaign to make them win.

I guess let’s see what happens but it’s looking really bad.

Quoting the article:

“No American should face homelessness, and the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to ensuring every family has access to the affordable, safe, and quality housing they deserve,” HUD Agency Head Adrianne Todman said in a statement, adding that the focus should remain on “evidence-based efforts to prevent and end homelessness.”

Have they forgotten that the Biden-Harris Administration was (and still is), the one in charge ?
How does such an increase in homelessness show the commitment they said they have on fixing this issue ? It obviusly shows the opposite, that they don’t care about it.

Is this really where journalism is at !?
