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.
That’s a bit reductionist
But only a bit.
Well when people get banned for being anti-genocide and war as “Tankie” what does it mean?
It means that someone is being allowed to mod who shouldn’t be.
I don’t know, I didn’t ban anyone for that reason. I’ve since unbanned the users who were banned for those reasons and have cleared the air with Pug that this is inappropriate moderation.
Hope he learns this lesson but don’t expect him to forgive you or anyone else for it.
