I know that lemmy’s moto is if you don’t like it here make your own, but for communities with big sub numbers and where current event discussions happens. banning controversial political opinions is not what I would have expected from the fediverse after having left corporate media, which could be excused for having to answer to investors and what not!
After I got a comment banned for what I think is nothing else but controversial, where it received quite the same amount of upvotes and downvotes, I took a look at that community’s mod log, and there is nothing to be cheerful about. the same reddit mods have made it to the fediverse and are trying to turn it into the same hive mind other social media are, it is a shame it is turning out to this.
Block lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net, and block all communities/magazines about politics. Then your experience will improve a lot.
Lemmy.world isn’t better than those three instances. Tankies don’t scare or bother me. everyone is equally partaking in censorship, no one can hold arguments anymore, every one is allergic to having their opinion challenged.
