(Note that the quoted bit I’m replying to ends after the word “…issue” and my words begin at “What a fucking…”)

In roughly 30 years online, across a wide variety of communities on a wide variety of platforms, zero of them would have removed that comment as “trolling.”

Except .ml, apparently.

    One of us! One of us! --another former .ml user.

    PTB for sure.

    I think that this ban can be explained, under .ml admin team insane troll logic, like this: you’re attacking Trump, thus you’re defending Biden (there’s even a “but” there! It invalidates everything that you said). Biden is helping the State of Israel to genocide the Palestinians so you’re implicitly backing up the genocide “lol.” so stop trolling “tnx.”

    And since you seem to be also communist, a few pointers on the instance landscape:

    • dbzer0 is geared towards anarchists, but even so probably your best bet to have decent left-wing discussions.
    • avoid lemmygrad - its admin team partially overlaps with .ml
    • hexbear is 3/4 underage kids or adult-children behaving as such, and they like to dogpile each other (and outsiders) for the weirdest shit.
    • lemmy world is at best a minor version of .ml when it comes to admins doing shit on a whim. And certainly not communist-friendly.

    [Sorry for the uncalled advice, it’s just stuff that I wish that I knew when I left .ml]
