So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy's version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?

The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml

Lemmy.world was the one that blocked me from calling out russian bs. And everyday its nothing but linkerbaan being busy trying to convince everyone that Status Quo Joe is the worst thing in the world bc Gaza.

No, you were banned from .ml as is evident in the logs of both sites:

.world:

Ahh, thanks for the clarification, but i have tried to post in the .world instance with no avail.

Yeah, the linkerbaan guy is an obvious russian bot/troll, I've blocked him a long time ago.

[-] Humanius@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

I'm inclined to believe that they might be genuine. The comments are too well-written for a mere spam/bot/troll account.

The sheer volume of these comments and posts does feel very spam-like though

[-] tobogganablaze@lemmus.org 19 points 8 months ago

Yeah, they pay real people to act as professional trolls.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Good choice. I have tagged him as a dbag or something in Sync lol.

[-] Pan_Ziemniak@midwest.social 5 points 8 months ago

Not that obvious, judging by the downvotes here and how they are the most popular poster over there. And per what ppl under u were saying, i would bet money that they are a paid actor, not a bot, though they definitely employ those as well to inflate, deflate upvotes at their discretion.

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago

I thought you got downvoted for confusing a lemmy.ml community for lemmy.world one.

[-] Hyperreality@kbin.social 20 points 8 months ago

Yeah. He's an obvious troll. The bigger problem is that when I've called him out in the past, a mod here has deleted my comments for misleading reasons. So it's obvious that at least one of the mods does support Russian bs. Of course, there are other mods who do give him the occasional ban so he calms down a bit.

I've said this elsewhere, but if you're angry about what's happening in Gaza, you really don't want 'friends' like that supporting your cause. One spoilt apple ruins the bunch. It's like if you run a children's hospital that accepts donations from Gary Glitter.

My thing with it is, ive bwen privately/publicly bitching about the apartheid state known as Israel for the past 15+ yrs, but now, now is when everybodys taking note, when the october attack by hamas was, in part, part of a larger russian effort to draw attention away from the area in Europe they have since called a stepstone multiple times now. And now these voices conveniently ignore that US policy towards israel has always been unconditional financial/military support. But suuuure, its all bidens fault. As if the geriatric neolib picked out of a hat bc he was the closest thing to "average" for our politics over the past 60 yrs was the problem, and is if there was no chance of their being intelligence available to the president that isnt available to the rest of us.

Support Gaza, but remember that Ukraine is where the bigger worldwide threat is.

Kind proud to have been banned from reddit world news (pre-API BS) for calling out the Israel bootlicker spam and downvote bot armies.

It's disgusting how obviously evil Israel has treated the west bank for so long that only now people care, and only now are people calling on the government to put an end to it. I recall having read an article about at least 1 Jewish community protest having been marked "antisemetic"

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

The obsession with the genocide language really says it all. They use it to shut down discussion entirely, but they will ban you if you mention the G word about Ukraine.

A year or two from now, when there are still millions of Arab Palestinians, and the world is spending billions to rebuild their infrastructure, I'm sure all these people will definitely admit that it was never genocide.
