I wonder how he’d feel about the 4chans.
They’d skin him alive
in england, where he’s from, yes.
Because there’s no free speech there.
In semi-related news, yesterday I got suspended for 3 days from !politics@lemmy.world for joking about the death of a billionaire and from !worldnews@lemmy.ml, also for 3 days, for airing misgivings about a collaboration between Chinese and Hungarian cops.
Some people really need to chill the fuck out 🤦
Getting banned from worldnews@lemmy.ml is incredibly easy as they’re super sensitive about china and anything negative gets deleted or gets you banned. They love simping for prc/ccp and pretending they’re not.
Yeah, the ban reason stated in the modlog was just one word: “Sinophobia” 😄
Sounds very familar to r/Sino. I wonder if there’s any connection…
Afaik lemmy.ml and lemmingrad are both tankie as fuck
Some people on ml aren’t (though many are. I’d say it’s about a 70-30 split of moderately to far left sane people (70%) to actual tankies (30%) in my admittedly completely anecdotal experience.
Have yet to see anyone from lemmygrad who’s NOT a tankie, though. It’s a real shame since the name is a damn fine pun!
I almost made an account there because of that, before finding out that it’s more than just a joke name lol
I have met maybe two or three other .ml users who know anything about contemporary leftist politics or political science in general. Even the moderates over there are just parroting the same century old orthodox dogma which has literally zero contemporary examples. “Haha mass murder is funny, violent cannibalism, why don’t people like our message, they must be brainwashed, we will make them learn.”
These are, by and large, people who seem to believe that Jacobin or the fucking Internationale suffers from a lack of edgy fan service.
I think it has more to do with how not taking violent threats seriously enough has led to escalation into real world violence.
Say cunt and whatever but this is a pretty tone deaf post in a world where the Myanmar Genocide, enabled significantly by Facebook’s lax moderation practices, is ongoing.
In case Im not the only one who’s heard of this for the first time:
“In 2017, the Rohingya were killed, tortured, raped, and displaced in the thousands as part of the Myanmar security forces’ campaign of ethnic cleansing. In the months and years leading up to the atrocities, Facebook’s algorithms were intensifying a storm of hatred against the Rohingya which contributed to real-world violence,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.
Have to admit i don’t quite agree with telling people you’ll skin them alive, it’s fucking rude you fucking cunt.
Ill wait until you’ve died first.
This website is already facing these kinds of issues.
There is a super mod on lemmy.world (jordanlund) who is blatantly manipulating posts with moderation and banning people who call him out.
The dude threatened me directly for calling him on it.
Generally when you make these kind of accusations, its polite to provide some evidence of your claims. There is a pretty large gray area that exists when moderating subs like worldnews and politics, so such communities are almost constantly beset with accusations of some type of bias.
Modlogs exist, if he has clearly been manipulating posts then it shouldn’t be hard to find the evidence.
I’ve already had this conversation yesterday and provided links. Check my comment history and the mod log, why rely on a biased source provided by me when you can just verify the truth for yourself?
Looks like you had a pointless, circular argument with another user 5 days ago and he nuked the thread because it was going nowhere. I’m okay with that. Then when you brought it up today, a different mod removed some of those comments.
When you say he’s manipulating posts, it implies he has some kind of agenda. If his agenda is to remove unproductive and hostile discussion from the sub, then I support his agenda. You implied it’s some kind of political bias, but I don’t see any evidence of that.
I think he probably just wants you to be more polite in your tone.
I’m going to tell people a really unfair thing happened to me, then get shitty when concerned people ask for details.
Get shitty? I told them not to trust the narrative I’m painting and to self verify against my claims. I also told them the specific locations of where my sourced arguments could be found and rewrote most of it below in a different comment.
Don’t inject your shitty attitude into my comment, please, and thank you.
There it is 😅
Hey, look who came crawling back to say nothing of value.
Well when you came crawling forward to offer nothing of value first, I didn’t want to make you go it alone, buddy ❤️😘
To be fair, replying with I’ll skin you alive is pretty extreme/completely unnecessary.
There’s reasonable discourse and then there’s just “Fuck you dumb idiot” type responses which add nothing to a conversation.
I’d consider his response pretty childish/immature although a less extreme version of it makes sense.
I think you have to know your audience. Hyperbolic threats of violence from someone I know isn’t violent make me laugh, they are not mean, they are funny.
Also this guy is kinda known for fairly violent comedy videos, so “I’ll skin you alive” is pretty tame for him.
For example he’s created an ad that ended up being banned by the UK advertising watchdog, twice:
Adverts given the green light by Surfshark included gun violence, child death, and namedropping competitors
Source: indy100
This just tells me the guy is actually violent though. If he’s literally getting banned for his stuff then he can say it’s for comedy/meant to be funny, but he’s missing the mark.
Complaining about being censored in this case isn’t really valid as he’s going over the line.
Why speculate when you can go and see for yourself what his content is like?
Well it’s not violent from what I can see, but it’s also not funny.
He hasn’t posted in a while though, so I think I’d have to check out what he’s like on twitter to see if he’s turned into some erratic psycho.
That’s his main channel with the higher production skits. There’s also his side channel at https://youtube.com/@TomSkaAndFriends which has a lot of great content as well. If you don’t find him funny, that’s a valid opinion since we have different views on what’s comedic. But assuming he’s turned into some “erratic psycho” is just rude.
I’m just going off what he himself has posted.
Ultimately it may be completely out of context, but based purely on the small sample he appears a bit extreme. It’s the problem with small snippets like this, and why you need to be careful with what you post.
I’ve recently joined Tumblr, and like this has been the best social media I’ve ever joined, just what I asked to be shown, no annoying recommendations that are the complete opposite of what i like or it’s just plain ragebait
The amount of actually nice posts is really cool
And from what I’ve heard their data collection is decent, not a personal data vacuum like other sites
They banned porn, and for that they have my undying enmity
I think that says more about you than about them
I’d say the fact that they banned porn says about as much about tumblr as having the above poster’s enmity says about them, so I’d go with an even 50/50 on this one.
Do you think tumblr banned porn out of prudishness?
they banned porn because they were bought out by the owners of wordpress, and the kerfuffle with credit card companies suddenly refusing payments on pornhub had just happened. the stated reason was so they don’t step in some unseen controversy and get blackballed by mastercard, which is a bit prudish if you ask me.
The main problem with porn is moderating it. Especially having to watch something to determine whether or not it’s csam. It’s easier to just ban porn. It’s a big hassle whenever your site isn’t supposed to be a porn site.
and therein lies the crux of the issue. lots of folks who were around before the porn ban would argue that the smut was integral to tumblr’s identity; that the tumblr we have today is just a shadow of what it once was.
Is he responding to himself? Such a weird screen cap imo
That’s pretty common on X. There’s a low character limit, so for long posts, it’s just a string of replies from the same person.
Well I know about writing a thread and the UI for that is horrible too, but doesn’t it look different than this? Also his profile looks completely different between the two posts.
