@geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml banned me from !ManufacturingConsent@lemmy.ml (permanently!) and removed my comment from the post, because I dared to note that there are protests in Iran and shared a link to a crimethinc article with voices from within Iran. They call it “imperialist propaganda” if leftist voices from within Iran are distributed.
My comment:
I get it that the western media narrative is incredibly one-sided, focused on ideological bogeymen and focused on getting the monarch back in power. But I’d like to point out that there is in fact quite massive repression going on against the protestors. Leftist orgs in Iran need international solidarity now.
Their “reasoning”:
reason: Ignoring the post to spam imperialist propaganda
I don’t think that person can be reasoned with if they call crimethinc imperialist propaganda, so I’m not getting my hopes up for them lifting the ban.
I also think that they might be a bit butthurt, because I called out their zionistic worldview (i.e.: that judaism equates zionism) a few days ago.
The admins straight up ban you from communities you’ve never posted in if they don’t like your brand of leftism. They only want to hear the opinions of those who confirm their views.
A db0 member was banned from Hexbear for no reason.
The mod log didn’t say anything and the mod from Hexbear who showed up on their .ml alt said it was for something but also didn’t give links, and changed the reason why to “you always deserved it”.
Literally live Big Brother levels of editing the narrative.
Well I left .world because they defederated from the socialist instances. That was too much blanket censorship for me.
