            Yes. I’ve been banned for suggesting the forceful removal of the current Nazi party, for suggesting solutions that align with “Luigi,” etc.

            I’m not saying c/politics is anywhere near c/news, but yeah, they’re conservative… or let’s say “centrist,” in my opinion (my stance is like wildly left, so most people fall into the “not left enough” category fwiw)

              Well, you know, you could always just not advocate violence. I think mods are totally correct in removing you when you advocate violence.

            Nah, but the lemmy god of a thousand and one names (with apologies to she of ten thousand names)recently said they called the FBI on people who posted certain sentiments, so while there’s no certainty they weren’t lying, there’s no certainty they were.

                It’s not those mods, just a user with idk how many identities. I’m not opposed to that user either, just once someone hints they’re a snitch, especially in the current political environment, I have no trust. I am like that in any environment, but especially now.

                  lololol. This isn’t prison. Or “the streets” (as Michael Scott says). It’s Lemmy. What in the world am I reading here?! This has to be one of the more cringy things I’ve read all day. lolololol

              Bruh, if things get so bad that a mod calls the FBI on people here in c/politics, then you all need to dial back the rhetoric. I’ve seen some crazy shit said here go untouched, so i can only imagine what was said that went far enough for a mod to call the FBI.

              It’s rightfully illegal to call for violence on any politician, regardless of party.

              It’s Lemmy, stop taking it so seriously. What the hell? You all think you’re going to start a revolution with all 20 people who even know what Lemmy is?! lol

              I don’t know what article caused that drama, but sounds like it was probably deserved.
