This happened a while ago but the irony is just so palpable

This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly

Edit: I'm convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

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

I'm not seeing it, unless website admins are a marginalised class.
- Bigotry is when you hurt an admin's feelings, of course.
  
  If any Lemmy.ml mods or admins are reading this:
  
  Fuck you. Ban me, bitch.
- The lemmy.ml admins who do this kind of thing are proud tankies. Pro-Russia, Pro-China, Pro-North-Korea, authoritarian "communists" are a marginalized class, dontcha know?
  
  I can somehow understand pro-China and less so, but still conceptionally grasp pro-Russia. But how on Earth can you really think NK is not a brainwash concentration camp?
  
  I'm actually glad MLs have ramped up the pro north korea talk recently. I was starting to doubt being against these users that claim to be progressive, but then I saw them defend a clear-cut present-day dictatorship.
- If you want rationality, don't look for it from tankies.
- I think that technically speaking, under Marxist theory, admins are the oppressors/tyrants. The users are the proletariat. Of course the metaphor falls apart due to how easily the users can escape and the users don't pay taxes or anything
- Rule 1 and 2 are often swapped across different instances.
Defedding .ml has been one of the most benefitial decisions we have ever made. There's so much less toxicity!
- Yeah, ML commenters consistently have some of the worst takes in the thread pretty much anywhere.
- Lemmy.cafe is defederated from lemmy.ml? Are you guys defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad too? If so I may have found my new instance :o
  
  Yup - https://lemmy.cafe/instances
- I enjoy reading the posts about how the tianamen massacre never actually happened and how america is to blame for everything and if every country was like China the world would be a utopia
Embarrassing. I can't believe I donated to this guy.
They banned me recently since I was writing a comment talking about how many "memes" on [email protected] are oftentimes not even memes and just unfunny pushing communist agenda and how I was thinking about blocking the instance. It got a bit too many upvotes from them and I ended up getting banned. So in response I made this meme and posted it to [email protected]
I dunno if scaring people off of their instance's communities is a deliberate attempt at building an echo chamber or just genuine dumbassery.

Honestly thank god the Lemmy devs made a platform that makes it so easy to avoid them.
Yeah, I've stopped any participation in any .ml community. I'll use any other instance version even if it's smaller. I haven't personally blocked the server yet, but it's getting closer.
lmao, that's hilarious. Featured this
- GOATed
Classic end of the horseshoe fragility.
Did he do anything else or was he banned just for expressing his opinion?
- That’s pretty much it to my knowledge but the purged the user so nothing is in the mod logs, of course
How do you see who actually performed the mod action? It always just says mod when I look at the log.
- I think you need to filter by user
  
  Didn't help :(
Update: He did it again fellas!
