You were right to call it dubious, I was incorrectly informed. Salt is considered the major suspected culprit. A search for ājapan diet stomach cancerā will give a bunch of studies and articles, I of course canāt verify them but itās definitely a studied phenomenon. One study says: āMortality ratios [from stomach cancer] are higher in northern Japan, particularly in areas facing the Japan Seaā while many in the south āshow low ratesā.
Please the report feature to bring up troublesome users (or if really necessary, the lemmy.ml community), this community is for the software called Lemmy.
I think this is a really good chain of logic!
Not particularly. Itās literally guilt by association.
They make a good point about defederation not letting us ban them and therefore it shouldnāt be seen as a protection, but that user was federated with us for a long time and wasnāt banned. There were opportunities and the moderation team didnāt choose to. So I donāt think thereās an implicit ban-evasion element on a personal level, they were tolerated and if I remember correctly the defederation was due to antagonistic user interactions between the communities like vote brigading and troll accounts.
I wouldnāt be against the user being banned here for things like shilling and some of their comments here. But defederation and their activities elsewhere have nothing to do with it.
I donāt see the relevance of lemmy.ml being federated. That wouldnāt make it ok. If another community we federate with tolerated a couple of neonazis then that doesnāt make those users ok because we find the platform as a whole tolerable to federate with.
I think you have a valid point with the shilling. I agree with you there. Itās not bigotry in itself but it is abusing this forum to promote anti-egalitarian intolerance (which is undeniably and inevitably what that platform primarily hosts, regardless of its adminās claims of platform neutrality). Plugging wolfballs is contrary to the stated purpose of this platform, and an unlikely but possible gateway to it gaining dangerous popularity. That is something they are doing here on their account, and I would support the rules being updated to ban it.
I donāt think fascism can be described as those behaviors, itās an ideology.
Those two behaviors you described arenāt in isolation. Canāt a meme be fascist propaganda? Canāt a meme attempt to dehumanize or justify violence without calling for it? Is fascism only dangerous when it reaches the point of open violence?
I donāt agree with the line of reasoning that āwolfballs is fascistā, I think thatās ignorant of what fascism is and why non-fascism can also be horrible, but I donāt think the āitās just memesā argument is helpful.
Itās counterproductive to conflate racism, homophobia and transphobia with fascism.
Theyāre all disgusting behaviors. Make no mistake, theyāre all mindless, anti-social, and dangerous. However lumping them into the term fascism trivializes what makes fascism in particular dangerous or appealing to its audience, it falsely suggests that fascism without those traits, a national fascism rather than a racial fascism (which is indeed what some fascists propose) isnāt reprehensible, and makes people who have seen a defintion of fascism think itās just an ignorant slur just like calling any queer person a liberal, which will make people just not listen.
You donāt have to be one to be the other. Theyāre all horrible. Donāt pretend their problem is being a fascist; their problem is being a racist anti-queer idiot.
Well, how do the admins here define āleftistā?
Thatās actually a major part of my post. We canāt recommend a better idea without knowing your own definition because āleftistā is just so ambiguous. Thatās why itās a problem. If I know how you define it, I can suggest a few alternatives.

And what if some anarchists here were uncomfortable about you hanging around lemmygrad and insulting them over there? Would it be appropriate for a mod here to ban you because you were associated with a community which has been known to make many leftists here uncomfortable?
The bottom line is youāre still able to create civil, unoffensive and constructive conversation here, despite doing things elsewhere that will make people here uncomfortable.
Well, thatās something that needs to be resolved, sooner is better than later, or it will lead to more drama later. Are you using your staff position to enforce personal opinions/preferences, or are you taking the role of a moderator enforcing site rules?
The 4 site rules here (especially #2) seem clear to me that people shouldnāt be banned merely for their supposed personal opinions, or what they do elsewhere.
āThisā posting chains
I was thinking of mentioning those redundant repeating of a comment instead of just upvoting the existing one, but youāve just brought up a more extreme version.
āThisā originated on imageboards (or if not, some other sites that donāt have voting). A site with voting like reddit makes those one-word affirmation posts a complete waste of space, or a low-effort dog-piling joke at best. āI agreeā, cool story.
