I think it has more to do with how not taking violent threats seriously enough has led to escalation into real world violence.

Say cunt and whatever but this is a pretty tone deaf post in a world where the Myanmar Genocide, enabled significantly by Facebook's lax moderation practices, is ongoing.

There's a difference between moderation and censorship of "bad words". I can call for the violent genocide of another people without a single "bad word", but I can also praise humanity using nothing but curses.

The underlying problem is, that moderation serves the interests of advertisers, not people. KFC will happily advertise between calls to genocide in a third world country- it's finger chopping good. But if someone says fuck next to a coke bottle, the apocalypse is near.

I'm throwing down the challenge flag on this one.

Here's ChatGPT's take:

"Holy shit, humanity, you foul-mouthed bunch of magnificent misfits! Against all the goddamn odds, you've managed to build wonders that would make even the universe blush with envy! You've taken the raw sewage of existence and spun it into the finest silk of civilization, you sons of bitches! Your resilience is tougher than a two-dollar steak, and your ingenuity is sharper than a box of goddamn razor blades! You've danced with death, spat in the face of despair, and flipped the bird to fate itself! You're a bunch of crazy, chaotic, beautiful motherfuckers, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Keep on raising hell and blazing trails, you magnificent bastards!"

Kinda meh...

In semi-related news, yesterday I got suspended for 3 days from !politics@lemmy.world for joking about the death of a billionaire and from !worldnews@lemmy.ml, also for 3 days, for airing misgivings about a collaboration between Chinese and Hungarian cops.

Some people really need to chill the fuck out 🤦

Getting banned from worldnews@lemmy.ml is incredibly easy as they’re super sensitive about china and anything negative gets deleted or gets you banned. They love simping for prc/ccp and pretending they’re not.

Yeah, the ban reason stated in the modlog was just one word: "Sinophobia" 😄

Sounds very familar to r/Sino. I wonder if there's any connection...

Afaik lemmy.ml and lemmingrad are both tankie as fuck

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Some people on ml aren't (though many are. I'd say it's about a 70-30 split of moderately to far left sane people (70%) to actual tankies (30%) in my admittedly completely anecdotal experience.

Have yet to see anyone from lemmygrad who's NOT a tankie, though. It's a real shame since the name is a damn fine pun!

I almost made an account there because of that, before finding out that it's more than just a joke name lol

I have met maybe two or three other .ml users who know anything about contemporary leftist politics or political science in general. Even the moderates over there are just parroting the same century old orthodox dogma which has literally zero contemporary examples. "Haha mass murder is funny, violent cannibalism, why don't people like our message, they must be brainwashed, we will make them learn."

These are, by and large, people who seem to believe that Jacobin or the fucking Internationale suffers from a lack of edgy fan service.
