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

    That might still have secondary effects such as in what kind of moderation features they develop and support

      Hint: the moderation tools they are choosing to develop are none.

      They are intentionally refusing to develop any moderation tools despite current moderation tools not working and it being the biggest issue instance admins are facing.

        “Intentionally” is a bit overdramatizing, don’t you think?

        It’s just not as much of a priority, which is still questionable.
