I’m gonna talk plainly here. That comment was reported as misinformation by another user and I took action on it. I get that you qualified your remark, but it seemed to me the intent was still to paint the Ukraine war as being about Nazism vs Communism which is total tankie bullshit imo. It absolutely is a widely reported Russian propaganda talking point which I’ve posted a lot about previously on !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com. I appreciate that you have a different take on this topic, but in our view this community is not the place to discuss geopolitics, as db0 mentioned.
I also think there may be some cultural differences between our instances you don’t seem to understand. We don’t subscribe to the ML “critical support” ethos on this instance. Every authoritarian state can be freely criticized here, including the so-called socialist ones, and including western countries. If you are posting off topic in support of authoritarian actions on an Anarchist instance (i.e., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine) then you can (I think reasonably??) expect to be reported and for our admins/mods to take appropriate actions, as in this case where I simply removed this one comment.
I also have a question about double standards here. The slightest criticism of China or Russia is routinely removed on your home instance and you seem to have no problem with that policy. Yet you seem to think that other instances moderating consistent with their own political ideology and instance rules is the very description of power tripping? It just doesn’t seem like you have thought this through tbh.
FYI we have a matrix room for discussing mod actions here now which may be a better venue for this discussion: https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35953536
