When having to admit their fault the moderator started looking for arbitrary reasons to ban me. Such as not using the exact terminology of the Amnesty report. Which does not call it genocide.


The moderator is also watching user votes, and calling out people not voting with him.

    Because I find extremists immensely interesting and have interacted with many of them, ranging from Christian fundamentalists to neo-nazis, to jihadists, to libertarians, to anti-vaxxers, to tankies. I like to challenge their views, and it’s also educational how these groups operate and how individuals fall into extremism.

    I ended up getting banned from Voat to no surprise, which happened within days of voat opening. A year or two later, I made another account to see how the site was going, finding it was just one guy who spends the entirety of the day rambling to himself in the open chat client.

    I don’t think these sites are around any longer and I expect lemmy to go down the same route soon.

        Do you not like that answer? Or are you implying I am one of them, or at least empathetic?

          I don’t need to imply that, liberals have a long history of working closely with nazis. that fact that you enjoy hanging out with them tells us everything we need to know about your character.

            Communists also have a long history of working closely with nazis, such as Stalin invading Poland along with Nazi Germany.

            Nor have I said that I enjoy hanging out with extremists. Nor am I a liberal. Please don’t make such assumptions about me, and instead maybe directly ask me for my views or for me to clarify?

              yeah, but we’re not talking about communists, amigo. we’re talking about you, and how much you seem to hang around nazis. there’s this little thing called “personal responsibility”, which posits that Stalin doesn’t have shit to do with you being interested in neo-nazi websites.

                I’m afraid you don’t understand my point.

                My point is that you hold me accountable, falsely labelling me as a Nazi because I have interacted with extremists in the past. You hold liberals accountable for also collaborating with nazis, then surely you must also hold Stalin to this same level of accountability.

                I also already explained my reasoning and that I obviously don’t agree with such extremists, so why are you still calling me a nazi?
