I saw this post titled “Scratch a anti-harm reductionist and a fascist bleeds” (https://lemmy.world/post/33320759)

I commented that “harm reduction” apparently means sending billions in weapons to israel while they commit genocide and shutting down campus protests speaking out against that genocide. I said that seemed pretty fascist to me.

Within an instant, they downvoted my post and banned me. Guess it’s my fault for posting in a circlejerk community, but I’m still scratching my head on how that makes me a tankie. Something tells me this mod would be calling in the tanks to suppress any dissent if they could.

    Believe whatever you want to believe. I briefly considered posting my credit score history graph from my bank, but I really have no reason to try to prove anything to you and you’d probably excuse it with something else like “why are you lying about missed payments?” or “you could’ve easily faked this graph” or some other explanation. I shared my experience with the credit score system (yes, in the US) and that’s that.

      You don’t owe me any explanation or proof of anything, no. I’m mostly raising an issue for the awareness of anyone else reading, and giving you a chance to explain and defend your comments and claims if you want to.

        Cool. While you’re digging around my comment history, why not dig up a comment where I’m a tankie saying tankie things? That would be a lot more relevant.

          Phillip is a defender who lies for PugJesus, the person who removed your comment.

          He has literally been caught lying to defend Pug in the last 24 hours.

          I don’t actually think people should get banned for being tankies. My provisional reaction to the actual moderation question is PTB, just because they’re either censoring you for your viewpoint (which they shouldn’t do), or else using that as insulting shorthand for some other more malicious behavior (which they also shouldn’t do, although it’s more understandable.) I don’t care enough about that question to look into it all that much, though. You apparently casually lying about being from the US and also having some unknown-to-me kinds of views which brought you into conflict with those specific people is a lot more interesting to me than whatever moderation event, honestly.
