7·18 hours agoThere are certainly valid reasons for it and it’s also a fairly controversial thing to do. IMO it should be reserved for obvious spam/scam accounts or other problematic content accounts (e.g. Posting harmful misinformation or propaganda, illegal content, hate speech etc), not as a tool for “content I don’t agree with, but is otherwise fine”
However, that being said, my meme isn’t really about whether or not it’s a just or good/bad thing to do, it’s about the irony of a group who consistently shits on .world as being “Reddit-like” to pull a page straight out of the reddit mod playbook

It’s one thing to ban someone for posts and content on the instance itself
It’s very modern-Reddit like to ban someone who never posted anything on your instance’s communities
True, but it’s the irony of it I’m poking fun of here. Also, I think .world is “Reddit like”, but Reddit-like of 10 years ago
That would go beyond the ban’s requirement for app stores to stop offering downloads of the app, but not immediately halt use of it.
Before the tankies get mad about the “censorship” of the US while failing to mention the LONG list of things you can get straight up arrested for in China
Not to defend Google, but it has nothing to do with shame and everything to do with marketing.
If you read the URL as a sentence supportsmallbiz.withgoogle.com = Support Small Biz With Google
If it’s a long list of comms all at roughly the same time then it’s a siteban

And then filter by your username
USA = We are the only good guys.
Nobody but the gov itself and right-wing nutjobs is saying that.
It is in fact possible to criticize China, Russia, Iran AND the US at the same time
They are all complacent in crimes and human rights violations in one form or another

Oof looks like they’re down for the count on top of it
Break? No one’s taken a break at the krusty krab since the chum famine of '59
Well, it took like 10 years to get this far sooo probably sometime around 2038
It’s somehow more of a pita to fax these days while at the same time being easier.
That being said, the dedication to send a fax 🤌
They would be fools not to heed that warning!
Then you didn’t look hard enough, whenever .world comes up it’s always we’re some flavor of a CIA front, US military front, or reddit-lite
They don’t often call for defederation because doing so would cut off a huge chunk of content
You should tell your sister that under the mattress is not proper storage for flashlights and mushrooms
the actual reasons people are mad at .ml is getting banned/censored for being bigoted
Where’s my bigotry? As of yesterday I was banned from a ton of .ml communities for “Troll” despite not having posted a single comment or post anywhere in .ml for a long time now.
In fact lots of people are banned for “Troll” or other “catch-all” rules for the audacity of bringing up things like the Uyghur genocide that China is doing or that Russia attacked a country unprovoked and wholly unjustified or even the fact that China is, in fact, Authoritarian
ETA, oh and here I was banned from technology for R1 “Bigotry”, wheres the bigotry in bringing up China being authoritarian?
Essentially yea, the laws enforcement mechanism as-is is just having the app delisted from app stores
Everything else is of TikToks own doing
