  • Let’s take a look at one of those posts (since you obviously didn’t)

    The comment in question is in response to a post that says “Capitalism is the root of evil” and says

    The state owning the means of production means the people running the state have a shit ton of power. Just takes a handful of bad people to turn that into oppression as we’ve seen in the USSR and China. If you disagree feel free to explain your reasoning

    This person’s comment was removed and they were banned from the community, with the only explanation being “Rule 1”

    Now the mod who banned this person was Dessalines, who is an admin for .ml, not a mod for the Memes community, so I’m not sure if they are referring to the Meme community’s rule 1 or lemmy.ml rule 1, so let’s take a look at both.

    Lemmy.ml Rule 1:

    No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

    I’m failing to see how the original comment relates to any of the listed terms or what this has to with “not being a liberal.” If you disagree, please enlighten me

    Memes Rule 1:

    Be civil and nice

    I can only see civility in the comment and, once again, nothing about “don’t be a liberal”

    Is the fog starting to lift yet or are you still going to be intentionally dense about why people don’t like you?
