This is the comment and of course toothy banned me for 3 days too.

Just like they did for "sinophobia" when I expressed misgivings about Chinese and Hungarian cops joining forces 🤦

That's like that meme post from a few years ago where it's like (paraphrased):

Person 1: "I can't stand homophobes"

Person 2: How dare you insult Christians like that.

Person 1: I never said "Christians". You jumped on that grenade all by yourself.

Just like they did for “sinophobia” when I expressed misgivings about Chinese and Hungarian cops joining forces 🤦

Just love the thing where they twist any criticism of the Chinese state into perceived hate for Chinese people, but are so apprehensive when Israel tries to do the same. It's reprehensible.

I got banned for “orientalism”, whatever that is

Orientalism is this stuff.

Idk I personally enjoy seeing terms I learned in grad school being thrown around in a mod log.

Paradigm shifts keep the brain nimble.

This is the comment in question, for what it’s worth

I can't see the whole comment.

Besides which it's a qualitative judgment so unless they did a full on Content Analysis grid on your ass, I'd probably not know what they meant, unless you were doing something really obvious like calling the Chinese "inscrutible".

I still kind of enjoy the novelty of seeing mods censor people for this arcane stuff. I wouldn't want to be on that instance but I quite like visiting it.

I believe it was in reference to a comment about Mao and Stalin

Yeah that's some petty bullshit.

Side note but I really appreciate the mod log feature.

If only we could see mod names in the modlog..

You can in a link from your profile tab in Voyager, that's were I got the dark mode screenshot from 🙂

Oh, that's cool. But it would be cooler if it was visible in the instances' modlog aswell
