I’m guessing they did this because my comment didn’t have the correct positive vibes for them on their post when they’re the moderator.
It’s funny because 196 and almost all of its derivatives are rightfully anti-tankie because tankies promote centrism and conservatism directly harmful to trans and gay rights.
Hi, I’m the original mod who banned you for that, your original comment seemed to come across as trolling because as other commenters have pointed out “cultural Marxism” specifically is a right-wing conspiracy theory, and also the immediate implication that me or the OP are tankies from what is ultimately a silly meme in a shitposting community felt uncharitable. Since it seems like I made a mistake and you didn’t mean any harm I’ll go ahead and unban you from the community.
Nah I think I’ll block you dudes, thanks tho.
‘Cultural marxism’ being mistaken for ML terminology in a comment that’s trying to scold a shitpost for being too friendly toward the wrong kind of leftist is just a little too on the nose.
Color me surprised that the kind of user who goes out of their way to broadcast their anti-tankie allegiances isn’t familiar with the broadly-used reactionary pejorative used to describe liberals that has been around since at least the 1990’s

I’m not certain this is what happened, but are you aware that “cultural Marxism” specifically is a right wing conspiracy and not synonymous with being a tankie. Because to me a “cultural Marxism” tag on a post like that is almost certainly ironic. I could see someone mistakenly thinking troll since your comment doesn’t make sense to someone familiar with the term.
Nah I didn’t know, I can never follow all these trends where words have different meanings than the actual meanings of the words.
It’s from r/196 on reddit. Short version is “cultural marxism” is the new term for “cultural bolshevism” (dogwhistle for jews in WWII era) and 196 stole it to use ironically for “this is what the left wants” style shitposts.
Ty I appreciate being informed like this.
This is another problem with all these ironic postings. They end up being repeated by people who don’t understand them, and then we get into these situations. I really dislike when people use fashy dogwhistles like “degenerate” and “cultural marxism” ironically.
Agreed, it also makes things very problematic when people come in and start using them unironically as well. Really unless people are going to reclaim dogwhistles or otherwise harmful terms, they just shouldn’t be using them at all.
this helped me understand thank you
Its not exactly a new term, but its become more commonplace since the right wing online content mill started running with it. Actually going to recommend not googling it, because you will be inundated primarily with right wing propaganda. There are a number of good sources who have covered the conspiracy and the online personalities that push it.
That’s literally been it’s only meaning, a propaganda term meant to paint everyone left of the Republicans as mass murdering totalitarians for insisting we treat black people with dignity.
It could also be marxism from a cultural perspective, you ever consider that?
From the context and the mod comments here, seems like a BPR. Good to see that YPTB helped handle it.
I’m not sure how that comment would be trolling, but I’m also not sure why you have a screen shot of a comment that’s being written.
What was the original comment?
Theres a link to it in the description, it says removed by mod
Thats why its in edit mode. You can also see thats what it says in the modlog which shows what the comment was when it was removed by the mod.
Gotcha! It didn’t show in the mod log for me. Not sure why.
Yeah, if that isn’t PTB, it’s definitely a clueless mod. I have no clue how someone could take that comment as violating any of the rules of that C/, much less as trolling.
This just weird. Most power trips, you can at least see why they’re making the decision, even when it’s shitty decision. This one looks utterly random and out of place.
Have you contacted the mods? It’s strange enough that it might have been a mistake
Yeah it was a mistake, I initially though they were a troll because cultural Marxism is a common right wing talking point, and the fact that they were assuming or implying that me and OP were that or tankies simply for having it in the meme, clearly depicted in a negative manner I should add, it seemed less than good faith to say the least. Since it’s clear they meant no ill intent, at least this time I have removed their ban.
Also as to why the removal doesn’t show, that’s a quirk of the Lemmy software and how it handles ban with content removal. It’s a bug and it really needs to be fixed ASAP.
Here is a screenshot of the comment:
I don’t really know what the comment in question even means but @Draconic_NEO@pawb.social please change your community icon to something with a non-identical font/brand styling unless you intend to share leadership and moderation with !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone. Thank you.
The icon was made by the same artist who designed the one from the other community, and unless someone designs something better or similarly high quality, it won’t be changed. I do intend to invite more moderators in the future but have not gotten around to it yet. If anyone from that community would like to help moderate this one I’d be happy to add them though.
“it’s a crosspost from someone else” says the person that posted it? A crosspost is a type of post.
