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.

    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.
