Just checking the place out after not being able to stand Reddit and its policies anymore. Their policing of Luigi posts was the last straw for me. Going public ruins companies.

    Was it the admin of the instance or an individual mod? I’m still trying to figure out the policies of each instance versus its communities. I mod a few communities on .world and have never had any admin come in and do anything there.

    I’m not sure it’s good to condemn all of .world if it’s just a few mods doing this, especially since .ml is one of the main alternatives and thousands of times worse, removing anything remotely critical of China or Russia.

      I got banned for ‚racism‘ in some community when I said China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs. I also say Russia is doing it against Ukrainians and Israel against Palestinians, but it doesn’t matter. I thought .ml can’t be as bad as everyone says because I’m not exactly in the liberal camp but I had to learn that they are really bad…

        Yeah it took me a few months to realize the extent of the problem too. I was getting modded for suggesting that Ukrainians should fight back against Russians.

        I don’t participate in any .ml communities any more and I block the ones who leak out into others. It’s a real pity that so much of Lemmy is ruined by tankies.

      It was the admin, not some mod. They even said jury nullification posts were prohibited. It was all announced in an admin post.
