So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy's version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?

The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml

The Chinese government is downrite evil. I don't understand what mistakes needed to be made to allow a cartoon villain level of tyrannical human rights violating government to be put in place, and still exist.

Yes, I posted a ProPublica article about how the CCP uses organized crime to intimidate Chinese citizens abroad and got banned from the entire instance for it.

It gets juicer. Just read some of the comments here. These people need to touch grass or something.

I have accidentally responded to posts there but have since blocked the instance. Nothing good can come from engaging with them.

lemmy.ml? I don't part enough attention to the instances unless they're particularly horrible. But it they're subtly evil, like banning people with non-conformist views, they often slip under my radar.

Go ahead and try to say anything against Islam there and same result.

Believe me. I've noticed.

Just ignore them. They open with ad hominem attacks, or myriad assumptions about age, account credibiltiy based on registration date, nationality vs ethnicity, political leanings, etc. and demand your response. Let them stew in their ignorant hate.
