So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy's version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?

The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml

I got a permanent ban on lemmygrad within days of making an account, see supporting Ukraine defend itself is obviously NATO apologia. I think the problem wasn't even my stance but that were actually convincing, they're not blocking you for saying "fuck tankies" or making bad arguments, they keep that stuff up to make, by extension, any criticism of their party line look stupid.

Only got temporary bans on lemmy.ml, for things such as pointing out that OP's article itself said that Ukraine didn't lay claim to the territories in Russia it officially recognises as "historically linguistically Ukrainian" in response to others in the thread doing the usual "Zelensky is a Nazi oppression Russian speakers" thing (never mind Zelensky being a native Russian speaker and Jew).
