Good platform, too bad about the creators' hypocrisy because the code of conduct is good as well
Explain the hypocrisy, please.
It's a somewhat often occurrence around Lemmy that adhering to the code is fleeting on their own instances
Edit: If someone doesn't know, the Lemmy project has this code of conduct in its documentation. It's really good
They are authoritarian Communists and the major ml communities have a pretty established track record of arbitrary rule enforcement. Eg, letting hexbears post thier pig shit memes, but then ml mods having a hair trigger on the ban hammer for everyone else.
I consider myself a leftist. A democratic socialist. I have studied political science and am genuinely comfortable discussing the academic principles thereof. Even so, I've caught bans for "genocide denial" for discussing the mass abduction of children, and more recently for pointing out that the US revolution generally avoided mass murder. At this point I basically have a soft ban, and anything even slightly against the grain get me another 30 days. The admins seem quite comfortable with some pretty rigid ideological protectionism, at best.
You can check my history and the modlog. I can be sarcastic and confrontational, but I am generally participating in good faith. It sure as hell feels like my ml account has been flagged for stepping out of line.
Your class will get it next week
