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.
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.
