Can't say "Fuck Israel" apparently if it dares to mention Russia. Ever more censorship on the supposed censorship free .ml instance

Clear censorship and bias of the admins and mods of .ml. As long as you're saying things that align with the tankie mindset, it's all good. @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml has gotten so bad lately that some of their comments have started to get removed, but no bans in sight when anybody (i.e. those not with the IN crowd) else would have gotten at a minimum a 30 day ban from multiple .ml comms had they even gotten close to the things Brain has been saying LONG ago.

That tells me they fully agree with what they're saying, but are just doing damage control.

After this post went live Brain did catch a ban for a whopping....24 hours lol talk about getting the "Kid Glove" treatment

I love (/s) that they're going all-in on normalizing Trump too. What selfless heroes of the proletariat.

A perfect example of the bias I just saw
For merely being earnest and saying "tankie instances" caught a 30 day ban within an hour
Compare and contrasted with Brains 24 hour ban for what they've been saying....is telling

What the fuck is up with this braininabox guy lol. each time you talk to him he acts like you slapped his mother, at least from the few times i've directly interacted with him. (And each comment i see from him is exactly like that)
Like fucking chill dude, lol. It's the goddamn internet. Maybe he should take a break.
Also, the comment was literally calling out people who voted for trump, which basically everyone agrees are shitheads. The fact he got so offended by it is... odd.

Who said it was censorship free? They're very pro censorship, in fact most people are, actually.
- It's a common trope amongst the big tankies "[Instance (usually .world or .ee)] is full of censorship and Reddit-like mods unlike us where you can be free!"
  
  Yeah they complain when they're censored, but love when they're the ones censoring. Just try and say "free speech is good" literally anywhere on lemmy, you'll be called a nazi. Same goes for most sites for most political leanings, even many that do claim they like free speech, post something anathema to their hivemind and you very well may be banned.
  Very few actually want free speech, because it includes speech they think is bad and almost universally they think that should be shunned to make them more comfortable, that goes for tankies and nazis and everyone in between.
  I've still never seen anyone claim them to be free speech advocates, especially not anyone that runs those instances. I have seen the users complain about being censored elsewhere though, to be fair, you're definitely right about that.
  
  What is censored on these instances? I haven’t seen much except against far right ideas. Not sure what they’re complaining about.

Once they block you... Block them!
And move on... Fedi has plenty of room for proper discourse
Let them their echo chambers
Their modding is properly documented with these sub's and modlog.
- While I do kind of agree, I worry if there's not enough resistance to them "in the wild" on the Lemmy-verse we might end up with a rep for being "A place for tankies" or even "Voat 2.0"
  I've already seen some comments in the past on Reddit along the lines of "I tried Lemmy, but it seems to be just Tankies there"
  
  I see your point but when you block their sub's, you can still battle them off their servers ;)
  
  Makes as much sense as "I tried email, but it seems to be just Tankies who use it"
- Yeah, I blocked .ml as a whole. Just a garbage instance full of the kind of people reddit loves.
  
  Eh, there are some decent communities, I'm still subbed to a few. But I jumped ship on a bunch once a reasonable alternative not hosted there became somewhat popular.

What is the context of what Israel apparently did? Just for my own curiosity.
- ~~The ceasefire ended and Israel resumed~~ Israel ended the ceasefire and resumed their ~~genocide~~ "war"
  The comment was on a post with an image of the horrors Israel is commiting
  
  Fuck Israel, Fuck Russia and fuck US too while we're at it.
  
  The ceasefire ended
  Just want to point out the passive language there - it didn't just 'end' by itself, Isreal ended it
