Something funny is going on at Lemm.ee. The admin is suddently ban hammer happy too.

That and all the mods removed from here is kinds strange.

Anyone have any word on what’s up and why the drastic changes in attitude and all of the sudden bans?

**EDIT: **Actually I think I found the reason: https://lemm.ee/post/55846636/18367529 (!meta@ lemm.ee “It seems some higher level moderation of communities may be required”)

Lemm.ee is a bunch of new admins, so it’s not longer as friendly to differing opinions as it once was.

Which a bunch of Lemmy Democrats are gonna cheer and advertise about.

Probably a good idea for us to find a new conservative community.

Don’t let them silence you, guys. We should just move–not run away. Running away is what they want us to do.

EDIT: I’m not defending Nazi’s or Nazi salutes. I didn’t see the post and I haven’t seen any describe it other than “it was a Nazi salute!” Does anyone want to actually describe the post? What did it say? Was it a meme? Was it Musk? Was it a random pic?

    A handful? Do you think lemmy is made up of like, 10 users?

      Do you think the majority of Lemmy users would like conservative communties on Lemmy?

      How about this: You create a new user name. Then you and I will create a new Conservative community on Lemmy and be co-mods. After a month, tell me what you think about the general attitude Lemmy has about people who start conservative communities.

      You’ll be called a Nazi even if you don’t post or comment on a single post. lmao

      DM me, and let’s do it. It’ll be fun!

      And we need some more conservative points of view on lemmy anyway, right?

        Lets do it. Will you be removing every dissenting opinion, and only allowing breitbart posts? Will it be deep throating every single evil move trump makes?

        • Hazel StoneOP

          Nope. I’ll allow breitbart posts though. and you gotta promise not to remove posts unless they are literally saying nazi stuff. You can’t just go, “wait, this isn’t an anti-elon news article, so it’s A NAZI POST!” and crazy shit like that.

          I say we start a community, conservative-leaning (because there are already a shitton of liberal-leaning ones) and see what happens. I am fine having a non-conservative mod, so that we can hopefully overcome the whole "all the mods are nazi’s accusations)

          Should we start on a new instance or maybe see if we can take over the [email protected] instance since it has no mods right now?

              Also, your profile is this. Are you sure you are gonna be able to remain neutral in a conservative community? Because if all this is in bad faith, then let’s not waste our time. I was being honest in my conversation with you.

              • @breadsmasher

                Sure, fair comment. I can make a new account and make a genuine effort of being neutral.

                Dont get me wrong - democratic party have made some seriously bad decisions. But at least they stayed within the law.

                  Yeah, I think the new account would be better, because for many people, if they look at your current account, they may see a bias and disregard what you have to say–even if you are right.

                  But again, only for the community. I have no problem with your main profile being as is. I don’t agree with it, but I do support your right to say it.

              Ok, let’s do it. I’ll message the mods and ask if we can have this one. And let you know it goes.
