I just realised, I can’t post anything on lemmy.ml

So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there’s a new moderator.

All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned

    Totally transferring to another instance and losing your post history is kind of a shitty solution when they could just not have authoritarian moderators instead. They’re also Lemmy’s developers.

      You can always observe and research the instance you’re about to create an account on to protect yourself from unpleasant surprises.

      This is not a new development for lemmy.ml.

        I joined back in June and lemmy.ml was absolutely doing all of this shit back then. Anything even mildly critical of China was banned for “orientalism.” They’ve never been shy about the fact that their instance is run by tankies.

      You don’t have to do that, though. You can just post on a different instance from your normal account.

      Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe instance admins can remove your content that’s posted to another instance.

        And I just explained it. Do you want it in Spanish or something?

            You’re free to abandon your account and they’re free to not hire authoritarian moderators. Why should it be on you and not them?

                If I go to a mechanic and they put Nazi literature in my car, I have a couple of options. One would be to just switch to another mechanic and not say anything. The other would be to let everyone know about the car place that puts Nazi literature in your car to shame them into firing whoever it was that did it.

                You would take option one. I consider that cowardly.

                    Dude, you sound like an absolute fool of a tool.

                    Stopped reading at the insult. Not interested in trading insults.

                    And before you claim I called you a coward, I did not. I said you would take the cowardly option in the case I was mentioning.

                    I am not interested in Reddit behavior. You can either talk to me like you would if we were face to face, where you know you would not be hurling insults, or I can just block you. Your choice.
