    “related to a thing that happened in the news and riffing off the least political aspect of that” isn’t going to read as political to 100% of people. im sorry you felt slighted here but i do totally see the mod’s angle.

    Gandalf did not celebrate Saruman’s death. He still proceeded to depose him, but not in a spirit of celebration.

    Why are you complaining on Lemmy about what happened to you on Reddit? Are you trying to rally support? Do you want people to feel sorry for you? What’s your goal here? Honestly, I don’t care. I’m just so, so tired of hearing about Reddit on Lemmy.

            I now see what you’re talking about, but only after tapping the image and specifically zooming in to that part of the image. Let’s be honest, though, OP knew they messed up because the “r” has since been removed from the title.

                Let’s be honest, the mistake I was pointing out has been fixed, which now makes it seem as though I had no idea what I was talking about. OP put r/, I called them out on it, “r” was removed without an edit comment, making me look like I didn’t know what I was talking about. Why did you even bother commenting on this?

                  No, I know what you’re talking about.

                  OP put r/, I called them out on it

                  I’m saying that making a simple typo is not really something you need to “call someone out on”. Nobody ever denied them using r/, so the “let’s be honest” seemed extra silly.

    yep. ton of hyperactive modding on .world

    the silver lining is showing everyone what a shit show that server can be, and forcing content to other instances

      The political memes community in particular has silly moderation. My post criticizing the billions in dollars being sent in support of genocide got deleted and when I asked for clarification, I got this explanation (and I quote):

      You’re blatant accusing political partition being pro genocide.

      This is an opinion.

      But I know that no one is PRO genocide. Therefore stating it as such is misinformation. It was removed for this reason alone.

        … I don’t know, I think the people committing genocide might be a bit pro genocide… 🤔

        But I know that no one is PRO genocide.

        I mean I understand wanting to see the world that way but whole entire societies of people can become genocidal. That is precisely what causes the atrocity of genocides like the palestinian genocide in gaza to grow out of control.

        Once the centrists in a society accept the rightwing framing of the ideology of genocide they will treat it as the status quo and resist anyone who threatens it. This is what is so fucking terrifying about blind centrism, the substance doesn’t matter at all to the ideology, just tracking the most commonly accepted “facts” which inveitably ends up in centrists bandwagoning behind an authoritarian.

        This is the stage of fascism Israel is deep into and the US is not far behind in and it quickly obliterates in you any doubt that people actually can be pro-genocide.

        We all have the potential to be, it is our choices and our empathy that give us agency to resist becoming so.

        agreed, politicalmemes is a zionist hellscape. I’m sure they’re trying to take this place over like they took over reddit.

        Thats the dumbest shit i have heard on here. By that logic going to a protest isnt a political act, which it obviously is.

        Basically anything that affects or targets a political topic is itself a political act. Donating to a party, posting a meme about a politician, writing an article about climate change, and yes killing the leader of a company while clearly targeting them for their decisions that negatively impacted the public and sparking the biggest public discourse about said industry in decades.

          I mean

          If your protest isn’t about changing laws or regulations, then it’s not political, it’s just a really loud argument between citizens protesting and being protested.

          Sometimes politicians will step into labor disputes in an attempt to make a compromise, such as when Pres. Biden made the railworker union’s tentative agreement law despite the objections of many workers (but later got them the sick leave and other requests anyways).

          In fact I think you could argue a person subverting the laws and passing their own judgement without any authority is the exact opposite of politics. If everyone did that then politics wouldn’t even exist.
