Explanation
The original comment I made was stating that alienation of someone by frustrating their political beliefs is not a way to convince them of anything.
That being their genuine friend goes a long way in helping someone rather then attacking them.
That together they both can work together for a better future.
That you can be annoyed, but that should be swallowed because that is what it means to be part of a community.
You will always be annoyed one way or another in a community, that is the beauty of a community, that there are different people that may annoy you slightly, but working together to still be a community.
The moderator disagrees with this, viewing it as “tankie apologia”.
When I replied, explaining why I made my post and my background, My post was removed and I was banned from the community.
Thank you @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com for reminding me on this missing context: https://lemmy.ml/comment/17251624
In my reply post, I wrote that “advocating for war on any country is not political flavoring”.
That cannot be swallowed, and one should not befriend such a person without sufficient care for ones own wellbeing.
I had wrote explicitly thinking of people who suport Russia against Ukraine, Israel over Palestine, and Assadists etc.
My purged comment also states that “people seeking to punish / attack LGBTQIA+ people is not political flavoring”.
I whole heartingly believe trans rights are human rights.
Free HRT and gender affirming care for all!
To remove an otherwise popular comment advocating for support what I feel are healthy behaviors, then name call someone as a “authoritarian” and a “tankie apologist” is disingenuous and corrupt to me.
Remedy
Personally I would like my comments restored so at least others see a different way of looking at things. I have no qualms with remaining banned.
Perhaps I should have not commented in reply to the mod, but they had already removed my post and I had little to lose.
Otherwise, I am very tired of this on the internet, I am tired of tribalism and the lack of empathy in this world.
What do you all think, should I have even made my original comment if I already knew it would be fruitless?
At least the tankie triad doesn’t claim to be for inclusion while they ban people who disagree with the admins, and have rules that point to wanting to be a walled-garden while inexplicably remaining open to the general public. It’s also pretty funny that Blahaj disable’s down voting on their instance, but then brigade every single thread pointing out how their admins and moderators are extremely ban happy and often make knee-jeek reactions, with down votes.
If the rules and moderation want to take a “nuke everything even vaguely resembling a threat” approach, then they would have an easier and better time simply being a private place that only vetted members can use.
Also, the tankie triad claims to be pro-LGBT+, while supporting three nations where being gay is illegal or a capital offense.
Oops, sorry, it’s not technically illegal in Russia yet, they’re just creating a federal registry of queer folk. I’m sure it’ll turn out nothing like the similar registry in nazi Germany.
So much inclusiveness.
So if I go to pawb.social and tell them that being sexually attracted to animals is gross, they’ll be OK with it, right?
Do you think it’s okay to ban someone who disagrees that allyship needs to be earned and not just assumed to be truthful until the person proves themself to not actually be an ally?
Do you believe that having that opinion makes someone a transphobe?
