I’m sorry if this breaks a rule for this sub or isn’t in the right place.
I really don’t know, most of the time I just lurk. I had an alt on Hexbear because they get defederated all the time, and I really enjoy their content, but it got banned because I called out Nazi propaganda about Ukraine(It’s why I was banned. I’m not trying to talk politics I would like to focus on Lemmy), and I’m just very confused. The rules they referenced for the ban seem to barely apply to what I said, and in general, the server seemed like a cool place to be. I definitely felt like I was in a community where I belonged.
I’m just boggled and could really use some hand-holding on this one. In general, the rules of the Lemmyverse confuse me. I want to see everything, but the places I like most are usually defederated from the larger communities.
If this isn’t right please please, just point me to where I can ask.
Thanks!
When people talk about left vs right, they don’t always mean the same axis.
Strictly speaking it’s about the economic axis iirc, but people almost never use it that way in actual political discourse imo. They seem to conflate other axes into it.
The original axis wasn’t the economic one however, but rather the French one before it, where the aristocracy on the right were opposed by the commoners on the left. The right here stands for tradition and monarchy, while the left are the progressives and anti-monarchy.
I don’t know by what logic, which axis, people on the fediverse like to call Russia left-wing, but I can suggest a possibility.
According to what I’ve seen of Russian propaganda worldview, NATO is imperialist. I think you can map that onto the original French model, with NATO being right-wing because they’re imperialist and NATO’s enemies being left-wing because they oppose imperialism.
Again, not sure if that’s why, but that would be one way to come to the conclusion.
