Blahaj bans people under false pretenses. They are not subtle about it.
Your description of them is laughably wrong. Using protecting vulnerable people as an excuse to shut down people that disagree with you or your pals in a way that does not violate any rules is not protecting vulnerable people in fact it could be making them less protected all around.
Idk if federated alternatives are to reach critical mass we would need instances that have a clear set of rules, that you could challenge if a moderator applied them unfairly, and even opted for a trial amongst your peers for if it was against the rules. Allowing moderators to be Petty tyrants in a feudalistic system attracts the wrong people that will prevent the fedivers from achieving it’s destined Glory.
Likewise moderators found to be abusing their power should have some means of correcting their behavior or removing them. Other moderators cannot be trusted for this, they all protect each other’s rights to be dicks so they can be dicks. We need a better system set up better to start.
I had the same thing, because I thought they were being too vicious against people like author JK Rowling’s while people like Kirk went around talking shit with impunity that was labeled trans hate.
There was Zero plausibility, I called out what I think is an overly aggressive in some parts campaign that has made things worse and was immediately accused of being a bigot myself and then blocked and canceled. No discussion or mod notes just your banned.
People learn they can shut down criticisms with bigotey accusations no matter how flimsy and they use it. Meanwhile they lost the larger cultural fight while they were falsley accusing allies of bigotry. As always on a left purposefully played off each other by organized interests.
I have seen disagreements with dishonesty used for social movements be spun into bigotry, and mods buying that and banning, despite clear bad faith attacks with no basis.
Call someone a bigot of some kinds it immediately shuts down and cancels any points until the accused goes on the defensive.
Those using this tactic in bad faith, like many mods, are cynical pieces of shit. They do not care they are hurting the goals of the movement, just about their place in it as a shit slinger.
That is the big one, but anything that could be taken poorly as bigoted regardless of meaning or truth can get admin actions.
Cultural differences, historical facts, it is all filtered through every flag everyone posts, from influence agencies to keyboard warriors firing from their hip, through an ai system no where as developed as they claim, and overseen by unnamed real people that may be dumb as shit, are working on dishonest metrics.

Heat pumps are the way to go. Or conditioning air with well water temps or ground temps other ways, 50 degrees year round 6 feet down usually.
You want the israelis to eliminate the critics of their blackmail?
That is a dumb thing to wish for, you should be embarrassed for how stupid your comment is, and how easy you were manipulated by organized parties here.
Idk society is really down on kitty porn…
Not quite brainworm’s fault we are getting extorted for drugs.
Corruption with arms contractors is rampant.
Are you for real here? It is not a secret what this admin is. Cannot be denied. And that invalidates your point.
Also the meanest and most vindictive and malicious.
The most greedy. Not the most capable though.
Just more and more people opting out as exemptions to school vaxxing or what?
Idk in the us or by state, but most all northern states have near 0 measles. Washington had some in the islands in the sound not long back, vax skeptical.
That is the only measles I have heard of up north I think.
Finding reliable information on medicinal plants is fiendishly difficult as well. Money over talk benefits of some plants often trying to sell them, then Pharma shills bad mouth them unfairly. The National Institute of Health is actually a Fairly reliable source, I do not know how much longer that might hold into the future but they do still have a lot of good information about medicinal plants outside of hot button stuff like this.
First of all, lemmy is absolutely not a courteous place. It is far more biting than Reddit.
Something I ascribe to people Reddit kicked off for being dicks congregating on here, leaving it with a higher percentage of dicks. Now reddit also kicks people off for other reasons like opposing Israel or other powerful commercial interests that they also pretend like they are kicking off for being dicks so it’s complicated.
Second, MTG should not be condemned when doing the right things. Anyone ascribing bad motives to good acts can get fucked as their motives are worse.
Israel is untouchable by all the lawmakers under video raping underage girls, or boys. Go figure. All the career sell outs siding with their donors also coreupted. Mtg is not only not them but one of the few actively opposing it.
