Just checking the place out after not being able to stand Reddit and its policies anymore. Their policing of Luigi posts was the last straw for me. Going public ruins companies.

They can call Obama a piece of shit as far as I’m concerned.
The mod was kinda right to remove the comment before that because that user is some Hasbara shill and was mentioning the Uyghurs as a deflection.
My issue isn’t with that, my issue is with the formulation “the Uyghur genocide narrative“. That’s literally the same shit that liberal media is saying about Gaza. So that’s what I mean, I’ll always be “yapping“ about the Uyghur genocide the same way I’m “yapping“ about the Ukraine & Gaza genocide. I don’t care who does it, it’s wrong.
The issue is the application of a thinly veiled racist caricature though. Call Xi a dictator, piece of shit, whatever, but evidence it and don’t rely on racist tropes and I doubt you will catch a ban for it.
Meh it’s fine, the mods can insist that it’s racist and they can insist there’s no genocide happening in Xinjiang, and I won’t be there to argue with them. My ban may be expired but I won’t be back. I’ll keep calling them out on other instances tho, and even though the lemmy dev are tankies themselves I respect them for making such a concept possible.
