Is lemmy.ml turn into authoritarian? - eviltoast

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

      Just my estimate based on observation. It’s been my experience that most of the people on the Fediverse seem to want strong moderation tools, but there’s definitley a contingent that would prefer a looser form of moderation (or none at all). The cool thing about the Fediverse is that both can peacefully coexist.

        Ya I love this feature of the platform. Some instances can be strict on what content they want to have (e.g. beehaw and exploding-heads) while others can be the libertarian platform of their dreams (e.g. personal instances).

        It would be interesting to see some polling on this, but I’m no statistician and wouldn’t be able to perform it in a way that wouldn’t be bias, nor could I account for that bias. 😔
