No info on who, what or why
Modlog finds my account but doesn’t link to anything to find out more:
mod Banned @boredtortoise from the community World News@lemmy.ml
reason: Sinophobia
expires: in 5 years
Edit: as the larger issue, when incorrect mod actions happen, shouldn’t Lemmy have a system for handling those? Both transparency to the users, and ways to forward the action for an admin to fix
Well that’s the thing. I didn’t say anything. Or can’t find what someone thinks I said. Usually modlog links to posts and comments where the violation happens.
My previous comment threads on the community relate to: Canada fucks up yet again, rich people go to space joke, Taiwan joke, democracy indices. Before that nothing for multiple weeks.
There are regime fans in the users, but this is a mod action and calling me a sinophobe is pretty derogatory considering all my love and hope for the culture and people in China
Calling it now: You said something along the lines of “Fuck the CCP” without realizing the history behind that phrase. And yes, it’s use is intended to be barely-disguised sinophobia with an air of plausible deniability. Reddit fascists do that shit all the time and libs fall for it every single time. You’re allowed to be critical of China as a government but what isn’t OK is using what amounts to a nazi meme to do so.
Conflating hatred of the CCP with hatred of Chinese people is so dumb it’s worthy of Hexbear. Do better.
That’s not what people saying that mean and you know it.
