I’ve never been banned from lemmy.world for describing my own experience when I was in Cuba 🙃
Me neither, but I have never been to Cuba.
/j
I like it there. The people are nice and welcoming and the beaches are phenomenal. The pandemic absolutely rocked the country. I came back after the pandemic and there were rolling blackouts, not enough protein, even more limits on food options.
They had a big revolt and protests against the gov over the way they handled the pandemic (see articles on Wikipedia for more context). I explained this revolt as told to me by my bus driver. That got me banned from Lemmy.ml (in a post asking what’s going on with Cuba).
Even in this thread if you see some of the replies here, there are lunatics claiming everything I said is fake and that I have ulterior motives. I’m shocked lol. I’m just a dude from Canada who went to Cuba a couple times on holiday.
So how is the situation in Cuba?
Last time I was there - hot, lacking proteins, rolling blackouts, and the bus follows its own schedule 😆 The convertible taxi drivers are cool and they’ve got these old ass 50s cars with modern stereo systems spliced in. I wish I had brought my bike to ride the coastlines. They’ve got some excellent roads right on the coast.
.ml or Cuba?
.ml probably stole their food.
I got banned there for linking readsettlers.org and posting a video critical of Ukraine. Then for calling out the mod who banned me because he said "he vets everything before a ban" even though he clearly hadn't in my case.
I got banned from feddit.org for calling out Genocidesmany's role in the palestinian genocides
Just yesterday I caught a ban on lefty memes for calling the azov brigade nazis.
repeats what russian disinformation campaigns say, doesn't understand why they're banned.. huh
Which part? The video that talks about Ukrainian politics that are easily independently corroborated or the military brigade with a Wolfsangel as it's symbol being nazi? Which one is the disinformation?
If that's your gold standard for a pile of shit, have you considered that you've been fooled to be content with a polished turd?
Lmao I’ve physically been there twice in the past 6 years and seen how things are with my own eyes.
You and your delusional friends will never convince me that my own lived experience is a lie haha. What a waste of your own time and energy.
You have physically been to a website? And you call me delusional? I was talking about lemmy.world, but we could always talk about Cuba as I've been there too.
Edit: I don't think I will actually bother with this. May your understanding of the world surpass your understanding of context. Good bye.
And you are sure you weren't given a staged tour that has nothing to do with the reality of most people?
When I bought cigars factory made, smuggled out and sold in shacks in Havanna I doubt it was part of the staged tour - Considering the staged tour was in the factory itself and we were told it was strickly forbidden to buy cigars straight from the factory workers. So we became friendly with them instead and met up after they finished their shift and went to their home shack where we had dinner together, dealt Cohibas and Romeo y Julieta and talked about how life in Cuba was.
But why ask? Have I even said anything about Cuba in this thread beyond that I've been there too? Perhaps you're just an idiot?
