And for the record, there was nothing even remotely racist in my comment. Dessalines just can’t accept being wrong. 🤷🏻♀️
UPDATE : I am (almost) sad to report the ban only extends to memes@lemmy.ml !
Also, I found the original comment, here it is (and if you see what’s racist about it, please tell me, I’m open to being wrong about this, although I really doubt it) :
( Update 2 : cropped the second image properly )
Ahh yeah they call the pooh comparison racist since pooh is yellow
That would be a very bad faith interpretation (so it’s probably it), I said that because comparing Xi Jin Ping to Winnie the Pooh is a thing his Chinese opponents do to make fun of him, because he kinda does look like him.
I’ve been banned from grad and ml for telling them to “stop throating authoritarian cocks” and the reason was “homophobia.”
Which is bigoted on their end to assume the gender of the person throating the cock. Also what is a metaphor?
There’s a bit of a bad faith feedback loop where they started using it as a litmus test for users who are just trying to provoke instance bans, etc. At this point Rule 1 is pretty all encompassing to oblige those users. But it’s very easy to catch strays. In some of those communities it’s like those classroom lists of banned Gen Z words that get posted around.
