The last couple days I’ve noticed every post that shows Tesla not looking good, has been removed from some higher directive. Not deleted by OP.

and yesterday an OP tried at least twice to post an article about Tesla factory ordering $16,000 worth of pies from a small independently-owned Silicon Valley bakery, owned by a sweet hard-working lady who worked overtime all night and had to go out and buy more ingredients to get the order finished in time, only for Tesla to call up the next morning and cancel the order just as the pies were about to be delivered to Tesla. As of press time, that lady lost $16,000 on that order but hopefully Tesla came back and made up for it.

The OP posted that article twice because the first one had been removed, then I tried to comment on the second one and it had been removed also.

There seems to be some Tesla brigade working hard to remove everything from the internet that makes them look bad.

    Not sure but I think I’m seeing my client’s (wefwef) version of that error message for a post on which I commented earlier today.

    There was a discussion in which it was being debated whether men were worthy of help when being abused. It got disappeared.

    I’ve got a screenshot of the post and the comment I made, but that’s all I can get. The actual post, which was at https://wefwef.app/profile/lemm.ee/c/[email protected]/comments/24739440, is now gone.

    Additionally, the user who made the post is also gone. The user’s on a different instance than where it was posted: https://wefwef.app/profile/lemm.ee/u/[email protected]

    Can this content be recovered by someone else on a different instance, from a federation-synced copy of the content?

    Anyway, screenshots of before and now: https://imgur.com/a/B2aEJrW

      interesting. many if not most of us left Reddit because of the censorship and power-hungry mods, thought we found freedom in Lemmy, although we’d been occasionally warned that censorship and power-hungry instance owners exist everywhere.

        I really feel like federated content has a built-in anti censorship potential, because an instance or community owner can only delete content in their own scope of authority. Federation naturally involves content being replicated.

        It’s too bad that the discussions all seem to be about how to centralize and control lemmy, as opposed to, you know, the dangers of centralized control.
