    Lemmy.world regularly bans Marxist-Leninists, it is a two-way street there.

    Again, I truly don’t see how Lemmygrad taking the marxist-leninists means Lemmy.ml is a cover for Marxism-Leninism, it’s a non-political community focused on FOSS and Privacy.

        Anecdotally I have seen Marxist-Leninists calmly arguing in politics communities banned for being “tankies.” I will admit, I do not have any examples on-hand.

          So do they regularly do this, or is it a thing you’ve seen anecdotally?

          And if the thing they were calmly arguing was genocide denial, then the ban was warranted. The tone is not the only thing that matters.

            Imagine if someone defended nazis with “they were calmly denying the Holocaust”. I’ve seen far too many tankies denying the Uyghur genocide every chance they get. Like you say, it doesn’t matter the tone; genocide denial is itself a line you don’t cross.

        Or because they were toxic assholes?

        If that were the case, we wouldn’t see a single rightwinger over here. Unfortunately, there are many.

          Yes, moderation is famously capable of immediately removing every single toxic asshole in any forum.

      “it’s a non-political community focused on FOSS and Privacy.” -moderated and controlled at least somewhat by tankies who will delete your comment and possibly ban you for saying things about their flavour of communism that they dont like
