New mods? Sir, this Lemmy.world .
Never had problems in .world. I've been banned from .ml though
.world is known for censoring topics precisely like you're complaining about, as well as having a reputation for some of the most toxic mod behavior across the Lemmy instances*.
Specific mods, plural, on .world are known to encounter comments they disagree with, and go back through user histories looking for unrelated, thin excuses for bans.
I don't care quite enough to go find sources, these are my accumulated observations. But they are fairly well known and uncontroversial, among those who watch such things, I believe.
[*originally said Fediverse in place of Lemmy, bigger claim I realized I wasn't meaning to make at all]
Not saying you're wrong. But like I said, I never had any issues, and I have probably said worse things.
Thanks, I should probably clarify that I'm aware people have mixed experiences and it's not the kind of extreme heavy handedness that I understand Reddit has largely incorporated.
That's a badge of honor
And yet there was a whole saga where world admins claimed being pro Luigi, especially mentioning jury nullification, constituted advocating for violence and they had to remove such posts due to 'EU law' according to legal advice they totally received.
I was banned from a group called Late Stage Capitalism, where one of the rules is you're not allowed to support the Democrats and another is you're not allowed to call anyone a "bot" or "tankie" or "paid by Putin"
They banned me for "NBo anticommunist bullshit"
I don't even know what "NBo" means but I'm gonna assume a community that has a rule against calling people "paid by Putin" is not exactly a good bunch of people
My brother is a solid liberal and hates Trump, but for some unknown reason he hopped on Putin's dick years ago. Whenever his defense of Putin descends into bad comedy, he claims that if Putin is actually a bad person then the CIA installed him. Which somehow makes him a good person? I dunno. I assume that some random podcasters somewhere are running around defending Putin because podcasts are my brother's sources for all knowledge.
