I don’t expect this to play particularly well here, and maybe I’m just being conspiratorial, but here goes:

I banned jordanlund@lemmy.world from !transgender@lemmy.blahajzone earlier today- he literally posted a matt walsh youtube link and was being otherwise transphobic in a space where that gets you banned. (link)

one of jordanlunds removed comments w/ matt walsh video:

spoiler

the reason I put down was ‘trolling about neopronouns’ I stand by that, it was violating instance rules and was unacceptable behavior from a moderator of another instance.

Shortly after that I got banned from news@lemmy.world for ‘trolling’. To be clear, jordanlund does not moderate news@lemmy.world, but the timing struck me as an odd coincidence.

The .world thread in question (link)

I was expressing my actual opinion/position on this, if anything the post I was replying to should be considered a rule 1 violation implying leftists are russian/under russian sway:

spoiler

The removed comments that I was banned (permanent) for were just me being earnest about my position, which you’re welcome to disagree with.

I don’t view protecting my rights as something worth sacrificing other people for, even if they’re on the other side of the planet. You can be mad at me or hate me for that, but I’m not trolling.

People replying felt it was reasonable to call me an idiot for example, yet another example of selective moderation. on .world.

I don’t have any conclusive proof that my banning Jordanlund and then getting banned are related other than the suspicious timing, I welcome clarification.

Anyway in the interest of neutrality and transparency I submit both my ban and jordanlunds for review.

      Biden inherited a shitshow and did some good while in the office.

      I don’t agree with his stance on Israel and Palestine but I can almost promise you that it’s going to get worse for the Palestinians while the fascism and oligarchy is already getting out of control.

        In reality Trump and Biden/Kamala are both perceived as being terrible candidates. The public thinks it doesn’t matter too much which one they vote for, they are just gonna continue to get fucked over by the rich and powerful no matter what. Fact is, both major US parties primarily represent the interests of capital, not the interests of the public who are just grist to the mill of capitalism. Yes, there is the matter of the degree to which each party capitulates to the rich and powerful, but they are both all-in on it.

        Its true the Democrats have been more progressive than the Republicans on certain social issues, but only where those issues were no threat to the status quo. But the moment progressivism butts up against the interests of capital, it loses. Just look at how universal basic income is going, or housing the homeless, or universal free healthcare and education is going. Anything that requires a shift of capital from the rich to the poor is immediately off the table whether the Republicans or Democrats are in power. But allowing gay marriage (for example) cost the Democrats nothing, so why wouldn’t they support it? And it doesn’t give them the moral high ground either, because they only conceded it begrudgingly after dragging their heels until it looked like it wouldn’t negatively impact the vote.

        I agree with you that things will get worse under Trump, but then they will continue to get worse under the next government too if all we have to choose from is oligarchy extra strength or oligarchy normal strength.

          Oligarchy normal strength is a thousand times better than what is going on right now.

          The amount of power that Trump is consolidating around himself right now is insane and all his executive orders he’s signing is signalling exactly what he’s trying to do with his four year and it’s been two days.

          But whenever I bring it up people respond with ‘but Trump is the only thing libs have to say.’ when really what else is there to say right now?
