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.

    Glad you were able to admit it.

    maybe you could admit that it’s an imperfect analogy (as all analogies are) that only works up to a point.

    What I meant was ml isnt everyones cup of tea and vice versa. If they disagree with how you conduct yourself, they might take action as is their right. Just accept that it has no implications over you or them.

    this isn’t a “me” issue, this sentiment about lemmy.ml is widespread.

      You‘re proving my point. This kind of overbearing demeanor is what people can just say no to. You‘re making the argument that a group of people should just defederate from everyone because they dont like your behavior (and the behavior of others like you) but you fail to understand that your behavior is the problem, not them.
