A few years ago, the Lemmy Developers decided to keep their political views on lemmygrad while keeping lemmy.ml more neutral. Now they are banning users who are critical of their actions and bigotry.

Anti-Tankie posts may put you at risk of being banned from commenting and posting on the lemmy.ml instance.

    You can still access these communities despite blocking them. If you’re claiming that users from anti-tankie communities are deliberately going into Hexbear and Lemmygrad (which again, is difficult considering their vetting process), please back up that claim, since that’s serious and I don’t want to be nurturing that type of behaviour. So if have any evidence of these troublesome users, please share it, even DM it if you feel the need.

    It was basically someone posting a screenshot of them getting banned, and it the reasons they gave showed they said “You can’t post this, mods will ban you”. Post they were replying to was not banned. So they were basically discouraging people from talking about things the mods weren’t actually moderating.

    What posts are these?

      I can only get you the thread number because if I try to go to the link all the comments are scrubbed

      lemmy.world/t/490214/Why-are-hexbear-mods-such-petty-little-tyrants

      It was federated to kbin so I don’t really know how to look it up any better than that.

      edit: I do also want to bring up one other point though

      You don’t see the issue of the Developers blocking only one specific community for no reason? You don’t think that’s counter-productive towards what Lemmy.ml strives to achieve, which is diversity and varied opinions?

      Isn’t this lemmy.world? I always thought lemmy.ml was more just the first instance, not the one aiming towards diversity. I’d usually recommend someone to lemmy.world if they wanted just a general server.

        Your link isn’t working. Can you try a screenshot instead? I don’t recognise this post.

          It doesn’t work. How many times do I have to say this? It was a moderated thread and is deleted. The posts are gone at this point.

          I don’t go purposely following groups to harass them so I talked with this person in this thread and moved on. I didn’t screenshot them. Just like i’m posting here because it was on the front page of kbin. The most I could ever give you is the comment saved that I made towards that user.

            I recommend you edit your posts that it was not MeanwhileOnGrad that posted that kind of content. Do you want me to respond to your edits or nah?
