    Nobody expressed any position before your comment. You were the first comment on this post. Instead of explaining your position you chose an unprompted attack. If you don’t like that rule 4 was used, rule 3 also applied to that comment.

      Do people have to be respectful toward bigotry?

      Or is bigotry forbidden by rule 4?

      It cannot be both.

      And the consistent problem with .ML is that they will excuse and promote this bigotry, on the basis that China can do nothing wrong. To them, the actions of the Chinese government are necessarily righteous and just, and anyone saying otherwise will be censored for “racism.” That context is unavoidable on Lemmy on the same day a donation reminder pops up asking to fund Dessalines and Nutomic, who are active participants in this pattern of campist censorship.

      You wanna circle back and say “eat shit” is poor behavior - fine. But I do not respect the idea that jabbing apologists for this bigotry is somehow a failure of inclusion.
