Someone commented that sanctions wouldn’t work on China because sanctions were too harsh, and that the US should treat China as a parent does a child, educating them and encouraging them toward US goals so that sanctions were unnecessary.
I pointed out that China and the US do not remotely have a paternal relationship and a culturally American call to China would not elicit a culturally American response from China because of how different the cultures are.
Got banned for “Orientalism”.
Ideally, you should post this on a lemmy.ml specific site rather than a lemmy.world site. I don’t think this Ask Lemmy is the appropriate place.
Lemmy.world administrators pretty much can’t do anything about the moderators or community members at Lemmy.ml.
I agree from if the goal is tech support, but I also appreciate having discussions about instance-admins in a place they do not ultimately control.
This sums up why I’m keeping this up. Potentially to be locked later.
Its about proper escalation IMO.
A bad moderator should be dealt with by the local administrators. Bad administrators you can escalate to other admins and bring up the possibility of defederation, but that’s really the only move remaining once it gets to admin vs admin level.
So yeah, local-admins handling the situation would be preferred.
Okay thanks. I assumed Lemmy.ml would see this also since they’re federated.
Is that correct?
I mean, Lemmy.ml could see these messages and these topics.
But much like posting in a random Subreddit, there’s no reason to see why Lemmy.ml admins would ever come this way or ever see this topic. So it kind of feels like you’re complaining to the winds here. Maybe they hear you, maybe they don’t.
You probably should find a place where those admins have a higher chance of actually hearing your complaint.
I’m not complaining, and I couldn’t care less if those mods saw this post.
I’m literally asking if anybody else has been banned for *orientalism".
Yes, that happens. If you google
"lemmy" banned for "orientalism"you will find other cases like yours.
If they sort outside of local
That is correct, yes.
