I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed
edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual
So why are you in support of Russia and China when both are grossly homophobic and hostile to being queer?
Oh, and that’s not even mentioning North Korea with it’s caste system.
I already explained, the extent of my support for Russia lies in its opposition to western imperialism, and the fact that it has been forced into trade with socialist countries, as well as the rising leftist support that opposes the current nationalist leadership. I don’t support their homophobia, capitalism, etc. As for China, I already stated that they have made decent progress, and are regularly improving on this respect. What you’re doing is “rainbow imperialism,” appropriation of progressive movements in order to support the far worse outcome for queer folks, ie a return to the 90s era of economic destitution for Russia or China being forced into capitulating to western imperialism. The DPRK doesn’t have a caste system, this is nonsense.
