There is a recent desant of Russian trolls attacking Ukraine, with some of them even blatantly saying they support Putin and some others trying to put into doubt evidence of Russian crimes (kidnapping children etc.)
I have been banned from world by @little_cow@lemmy.world for calling one of them out. Also both of my comments, the one in the screenshot and another one where I explain to another user that he is arguing with paid Russian troll have been removed.
I am not a .world fan, but you def deserved it. YDI
How ignorant and close minded are you to post this…
You disagree with someone over an inherently subjective topic and then harrass them. So the mods ban you. Then you proceed to do the same to the mod by posting this.
No one is allowed to have a different opinion than you?
Accusing a user of being a paid troll account is against the rules in most instances, even if you somehow have strong evidence for it.
It’s an unfalsifiable claim and is frequently used as a way to harass another user over a disagreement.
YDI.
It is enough to look at this user commenting history to substantiate the claim.
If you see a nazi, say “nazi”
If you see a Russian troll, say “Russian troll”.
Like I said, its not about having evidence or not. It’s a disingenuous way of harassing someone for having an opinion you disagree with.
If the opinion is a rule-breaking one, then report it. If it isn’t, find a more constructive way to deal with your disagreement.
Too many people (myself included) learned to focus on the person, instead of the idea.
That leads to sophist arguments (“you’re a troll”), rather than searching for the truth that lies somewhere between different viewpoints.
It’s not easy to keep in mind and to find ways to stay on the subject.
very well said
not to mention if you look at the comment history and you see nazi or troll or such then just block.
Being a paid troll is one thing. If I see someone spreading pro fascist propaganda, I wouldn’t call them paid, but I would absolutely call them out on promoting fascist propaganda
They might be a troll but how did you jump to the paid part?
The issue is, you just broke rules too.
Next time.
Just report him or say something more civil. But honestly if you see a rule breaker just report him.
It’s like kinda like real life you don’t deal with criminals the justical system in this case mods and admins do.
That’s interesting, because when I say “Nazi”, you say “Russian troll”. Maybe you have your favorite Nazis after all?
YDI, you broke the rules. Not everyone you disagree with is paid.
Omg he got banned due to my report lol
For anyone who bothers to read this, @FelixCress@lemmy.world harrassed me for difference in opinion about geopolitical issues. He then proceeded to harass me by following me around and downvoting all my comments and replied to my comments which didn’t involve him. He also used multiple accounts/community (which he admitted to) which then did the same.
I also reported his comments. But mainly since I was checking his profile as I recall agreeing with me on a few topics. Broken clock and what not.
He has so many posts in this community. Looks like he is used to getting banned and then throwing a hissy fit.
Is it possible to check other user’s mod log?
If you click on the 3 dots below a post or a comment, there is a mod log.
$USER moderation historyis what you want.I think it is not available in Voyager app. What do you use lemmy?
I just use the mobile interface via my web browser, I don’t use an app personally. I apologize that I couldn’t help ya.
I could not find it in a browser too. I am confused now. Anyways, thanks for helping out
Unsure how this will upload, but this is how it is for my on Firefox for Android. I can tap the 3 dots and then there’s the drop down box.
I temporarily banned you for violating the rules of the community more then once
Please use this time to reflect, read, and pray for you have clearly lost your way
News communities are very important to the discussion of events which impact many people lives
When you make these sort of comments the quality of the post is degraded
In addition the rules are clear for all to read
I will pray for the malice which poisons your heart against the fellow man to leave your body and mind
Since you are here mod, make sure to check how he brigades others (or maybe his alt accounts) to downvote and comment on a single target. He has admitted that he posts my content to other communities for such behaviour (the comment has since been deleted by mods). I have some names but I don’t want to take names without proof.
You can contact the lemmy.world admins and use this tool https://lemmy.lvanrem.com/alt to find proof
How does this work? It allows cross instance detection of alt accounts?
Edit - It is just a guess, got it
YDI
Clear violation of the rules regardless of whether they are a paid troll or not. It doesnt matter.
Use the report button next time.
The community rules:
- Rule 5 - Keep it Civil - It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative).
You deserved it, you broke the community rules by accusing someone of being a bad faith actor, which isn’t nice.
not calling out bad faith actors is why reddit went to shit in 2015, and it’s already happening here thanks to fools like you covering for obvious forum sliding behavior
Do you have proof the user they called out is a paid actor?
accusing someone
It is not an accusation if it is based on facts.
which isn’t nice
🤦
Please give your evidence and citations the user is paid for by the Russian government.
What facts do you have to prove what you said? Do you have my bank transactions? Do you have any communication between me and the Russian government?
It is not an accusation if it is based on facts.
This statement is simply false.
Accusations can be backed up by facts. They’re still accusations. Facts can make accusations more convincing, but they don’t stop being accusations when facts are provided.
What facts it’s based on?
Sir, this is lemmy, we already have a lot of users who sounds like paid trolls, this platform is too small to be targeted by some psyop, I would guess they are simply stupid/delusional/tankie than to be a paid russian agent.
It is not an accusation if it is based on facts.
Your comment was against the rules of the community. Use the report button, bring it to fediverselore, whatever, but that doesnt change the very simple fact here - you broke the rules.
Thats the only context that matters relative to your ban.
Edit: wad/was. I wasn’t talking about Doom, I promise.
Appearing to be is not the same as being. If you have evidence of being, share with the class.
Looks like YDI. Badjacketing like that only breeds paranoia
The fact you belive that one must be a troll to support russia is a great evidence everyone is better if you keep away from political discussion. You ate too much propaganda, maybe detox from capitalist press and learn a bit about history?
If you’re supporting Russia’s invasion of a sovereign country and all the war crimes that go along with it you’re as bad as someone who’s supporting Israel’s genocide of the Palestine people.
I like your name
Damn you guys reach new levels of dumb every passing day
Which part of what I said is dumb?
The part where you side with imperialism in the case of ukraine and then against it in the case of palestine.
I’m siding with small countries being illegally invaded by larger counties as the large country is committing war crimes against the smaller one.
I’m being very consistent.
No no, imperialism is when you defend yourself from imperialist invasions according to .ml weirdos.
You are in the kindergarden of politics, but yes, you are kindergarden level very consistent
So when I get into grade school level politics I’ll start to understand some genocides are justified?
side with imperialism
Ohh i didn’t know the definition of imperialism is getting invaded by another country.
Ohh remember when the time India become imperialist when British Empire colonized them? I sure do!
If you are able to read, id suggest lenins book in the subject
Ps: you guys reach new levels of dumb over the course of hours
Uh huh, i don’t care about lentils book or your “huhu i’m smart yur dum” comment, i just wanna know what do you mean by being on the imperialist side, so do explain to us dum dum why siding with ukraine is imperialism since you’re so smart.
sees lemmy.ml
I feel like I could sleepwalk into your response. Practically a meme.
Anyway, OP deserves it, but wow you leaned in hard on “falling for western propaganda” or whatever. OP deserves it for claiming someone is a troll or bot or something. How is your comment that different from theirs?
There is a recent desant of Russian trolls attacking Ukraine
Attacking Ukraine with what, opinions on social media? People who disagree with you aren’t being paid by US adversaries. Russiagate was a hoax.
And just like that “communist” and alt right are aligned on the important issues
The alt-right joined Ukraine’s International Legion and paramilitaries—some of them several years before 2022—to “kill orcs.”
A US citizen known to have fought with pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine between 2014 and 2017 has been killed in Moscow-occupied Donetsk, according to Russian media reports.

A Black American woman who relocated to Russia to escape what she called pervasive racism in the U.S. has suffered a violent attack at the hands of racist neighbors in Moscow—a brutal contradiction to the safety she once praised.

He has the right to spread Russian propaganda.
You don’t have a right to call him out for it.
That’s just how modern censorship works.
Block the instance and move on. This community has extensively documented this behavior on some communities on lemmy.world.
DNC komissars don’t appreciate you
PTB. I’m not a huge fan of lib russophobia and I know it’s against the rules to be “uncivil”… But civilization is a racist myth and tone policing supports hegemony. Let the people make their jokes.
tone policing supports hegemony.
Tone policing is the modern censorship and it is more effective since normies do it to each other as one up.
Useful idiots enforcing regime orthodoxy while feeling morally superior doing it. Sometime it even feels as if they ate sticking to the man too 🤡
