For “Troll” even though I’ve been boycotting .ml for a while and haven’t made a single post or comment anywhere on .ml lmao

Fairly certain it was over my post (https://lemmy.world/post/24123469) on my home instance community lol

    You can’t help but jump straight to Western Defender of the Free World mode at the slightest nudging can you 😂 You don’t need to do the CIA’s job for them.

        You’re not calling out defenders of US authoritarianism or US imperialism, though, are you? You’re calling out defenders of states that the US coincidentally considers its enemies 🤔

          Fuck off with this critical support bullshit. There is a constant stream of posts (legitimately) criticizing the US on Lemmy generally, and even on .lw. But in contrast, almost every post critical of any anti-American State gets removed for “bigotry” on .ml. According to their moderation practices, no criticism of these states can be valid, because they are fighting US imperialism. It doesn’t matter to .ml than many of these states are aspiring imperialists themselves (e.g. Russia) or genocidal religious theocracies (.e.g. Iran) or oppressive authoritarian regimes (China). That’s the issue here, not that @[email protected] hasn’t personally called out the US in this thread. Trying to “both sides” this is completely disingenuous.
