Facts are bigotry

There's no facts in deleted post and on my guess there's no bigotry, it mostly looks like trolling or disinformation.

incessantly whines about ml/world defederation

gets site-wide ban on ml

"oh those goddamn PTB tankies"

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with YDI/PTB. You just got what you wanted without degrading the user experience of entire .world and .ml user bases.

50% YDI / 50% PTB

YDI, as these comments were obviously bad faith trolling with the sole purpose of starting flame war. None of the comments in the screenshot can be considered a valuable contribution to the discussion in the technology community.

PTB, for made up "bigotry" as a reason for the ban. If they had banned you for trolling, it would have been 100% YDI.

100% YDI, there's no power tripping for moderator to kick someone out for useless flaming or trolling, it's one of their duties.

You're 100% correct here. My observation is based solely on Trump's rhetoric and i also have heavy doubts that he will stop the war and bring peace to war-torn area. Anyway, if he really tries and succeeds, it would be twice more embarrassing for his predecessors, as it would mean that they could have done the same, but instead preferred to have tens of thousands Ukrainians killed and dozens of Ukrainian cities razed to the ground.

The craziest thing of our time is that right-wing bigots claim to end the war fast with peace talks, while so-called “progressives” are going to prolong their proxy war as long as there is at least one Ukrainian still alive.

This article claims that the world's third largest railroad network (after US and China) will collapse in a few days and this claim is based on a report from an anonimous telegram channel ("VChK-OGPU") and an audio file provided by some Ukrainian propagandist. Moreover, it's accompanied by a charming remark that "Newsweek was unable to independently verify the authenticity of the audio clip or VChK-OGPU's report". None of such "sources" are suitable for a post to pass the moderation in the lemmy worldnews community (be it .ml or .world), but for a Newsweek article it is somehow sufficient.

And the funniest thing is that Newsweek has MBFC Credibility Rating of "HIGH CREDIBILITY". This is how "highly credible" MBFC approved journalism looks like.

While absence of China in Top 10 may be somehow explained by The Great Firewall, the absence of India, Turkey and Russia is totally implausible. Or they might be scanning only torrents of movies with English audio.

It's revealing that you care so much about white mercs from Wagner but totally ignore casualties of black Malian troops killed by local AlQaeda branch with support of Ukraine. Seems like it's impossible to be supportive towards Ukraine without being at least a bit racist.

What's really under doubt here is your reading ability and knowledge of geography:

  1. Ukrainian officials themselves claimed that they've provided help to islamists;
  2. Mali is not region of Russia, it's a sovereign state on totally different landmass.

If you gonna host torrent tracker with pirate content then VDSina is reasonable choice and i'm using their service for the same purprose. Their help section clearly says that they would ignore any copyright infrigement complaint which is not enforced by Russian police or court what effectively means that US/GB/EU authorities have no chance to bother you. Obviously you should choose their Moscow servers, not Amsterdam ones (which they also offer). I have no idea if they accept Monero payments but they definately allow to pay in some cryptocurrencies.
