u/LeninMeowMeow moderates a large amount of big subreddits, r/therightcantmeme, r/gamingcirclejerk, r/animememes, r/greenandpleasent (a known russian propaganda subreddit source: Center for European Policy Analysis (think Lemmygrad)) and much more.

Anyways on r/lemmy, he says that lemmy.world is right-wing and thatcherite. I reply that it is more social democratic.

I instantly get banned from the subreddits he moderates and blocked by him. I have not commented or participated in any of their subreddits before, and this is my first ever encounter with them.

Weird and concerning behaviour. I fear that tankies are taking over most left wing spaces on reddit (not that I really use reddit for politics anymore, that’s why I’m on lemmy, but for the implications to our democracies, as a non-negligible chunk of voters are politically influenced by reddit).

Why? Personal choice. No one forced him.

That feeling when you get banned for mentioning Russian war crimes in Ukraine.

lemmygrad

lemmy.ml too increasingly

Yup.

Turns out, if you’re not willing to commit violence of some sort asserting power is pretty much impossible. (not saying we should assert violence, but historically, atleast since the agricultural revolution, it is rare not too see)

More like a defense of merchant ships attacked by houthis.

I wouldn’t call that a “war started by Joe Biden”.

This is completely different. Wikipedia tracks users and IP’s who don’t follow their rules, as a website that anyone can edit, they need too.

That doesn’t mean they’ll track people outside of wikipedia on social media.

Wikipedia gets a million people saying its bullshit every week. I doubt theyll personally track you. But as I privacy nerd I understand your concerns

Don’t have the energy to do the due diligence here and I won’t just trust the headline because I have never heard of this source before. But I will note OP’s account seems to be a single issue account with a grudge against wikipedia.
