I've found I've been blocked on world news for posting comments againts fascist ideas. I've been shadow banned from world news for posting comprehensive evidence of china's crimes against humans aka their concentration camps. It wasn't opinion i linked to studies, and it wasn't inflammatory. My comments were removed and now i can't like or comment.
It's really disturbing ngl. I mean reddit was trash too but i expected some freedom of information here.
Was it the .ml or the .world instance? I had comments deleted for "misinformation" on .ml. It's why I migrated away from .ml because it was only a matter of time before my account was banned.
it was.ML yes .
You'll probably be happier at [email protected] instead.
I generally avoid communities on lemmy.ml where there are options elsewhere.
Yeah, I just blocked the .ml worldnews community. It isn't worth the effort trying to discuss politics with them. The .world instance has been fine for me so far.
.ml is run by tankies. There's no freedom of ideas or speech on that server.
I understand that now
That makes sense there. A lot of marxist leninist crazies there.
Wait......people on Lemmy.ml can ban your account site wide if you're not home to lemmy.ml? I don't know the right word for it. But I log into Lemmy.world. You're saying if I comment on a topic on a Lemmy.ml instance, the Lemmy.ml mods can ban the whole account site wide?
For reference:
He linked https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_internment_camps
That's not allowed on lemmy.ml
Lemmy.ml and world news, name a more iconic duo
Kind of sad how many communities are on .ml. Would like to block the entire server but lose too much content.
A new post has been created about this issue: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417
I guess we'll start people moving from that instance more and more as time passes
New person here. What isn't allowed on Lemmy.ml? The linking of wikipedia?
Anything that speaks poorly of China, especially Wikipedia.
How did Lemmy.ml become the dominant userbase with those policies?
Lemmy.world is bigger, but Lemmy.ml.is the developers' instance, and gets the newest versions of Lemmy first.
It's also the oldest instance, I believe.
What? If you have context, let us know. I just posted what I found on the modlog over there.
Oh sry i thought you were the admin justifying your censorship. I apologise.
So my other comment was just straight up deleted?
Use a porn/incognito window to go to https://lemmy.ml/c/worldnews click modlog and search for your name.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Good bot? I genuinely have no idea if that's more appropriate for the situation.....
Why are you attacking somebody who's backing you up? Sheesh
Yeah i misunderstood. My bad
Already mentioned below, but for better visibility: [email protected] has better moderation.
There have been many times I've been blocked by subreddits just for posting an opinion that the moderators disagreed with. Moderators have way too much control over the website.
At least modlogs are public, so people can call them out about it
Not really any different on lemmy, sadly
I linked to a lot of other studies im a separate comment too share that if we're being transparent
