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’m just making sure you agree that Davels isn’t an ideal moderator too

      I glanced over and I am finding his views much more concerning.

      Still that is really not relevant. I am sure there is plenty of crap moderators out there. I am finding PugJesus particularly bad after revenge ban in unrelated community after an argument in completly different community. He should be removed straight away after that.

          Thanks, I believe it was the right decision. Funnily enough, I don’t have many issues with PugJesus views at all. It is his moderation which is a problem.

          Pretty much opposite to the other example you gave where I have major issues with this person views. His moderation merely follows this ideological pattern, that’s all.

              Admittedly, I haven’t read all thread you linked but I haven’t noticed anything personal in his bans. He seems to follow his ideological line.

              Now, I strongly disagree with his excuses for Russian aggression, denial of attempted genocide of Ukrainians, attempt to whitewash Tienanmen massacre etc. But when he bans/deletes/etc it looks like he does it because he is trying to hide facts inconvenient to the regimes he supports. Not because someone argued with him in a different thread about something completely unrelated.

              In another words, his moderation is completely unsurprising for his dictatorship-supporting instance and a reason I tend to not wander into tankie part of Lemmyverse.

              It appears to be a completely different issue to PugJesus.
