            That’s 2/ … 50 or so?

            1/2 of them could absolutely be about Biden, depending on context.

            The other is obviously not.

            “Death to America” = “advocating violence” is the dumbest shit I ever read.

              Not the first time I was banned for that either, despite explicitly saying America is a country, not a person, and needs to be sanctioned out of existence and balkanized.

                Most people interpret “Death to America” as “Death to America(ns),” given it’s usually a phrase uttered by people who do want Americans dead.

                But - strictly speaking - it’s not technically that, no.

                In other words, you’d be acquitted if it was a crime in a US court, but the burden of proof for a Lemmy instance/community ban isn’t anywhere near Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, as you and I both know from personal experience.

                  based on what?

                    The only experience I ever had with that phrase growing up in the US is:

                    • Iranian nationalists apparently LARPing imminent attacks on the US for decades

                    • Taliban/al-Qaeda conducting attacks on the US (and its allies)

                    Hell, I can’t remember hearing it in any other context than that with the sole exception of your ban history.

            You can’t simultaneously pretend honesty is a core value of yours but also lie about why you get banned.

            Well - you can - but it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

              I’m not? One of my ban reasons was literally “banned until after the election” on a large politics community on .world.

              One of them was posting stats and graphs and I was banned for “garbage troll comments”.

              Y’all are a very delicate bunch.
