Depends on which Lemmy instance is being used, what country their instance is set up in, and local laws surrounding it.
It also depends on how much money the admins of your Lemmy instance have towards fighting legal battles. The reality is that most of them have basically zero money for that, so some of them are going to be more… aggressive, because deep down, they’re actually protecting themselves and the instance first and foremost.
Further, we don’t know if this is actually his manifesto or if it’s a fake or if it’s planted evidence. Some might be deleting it to avoid being sued for defamation of character by Mr. Mangione, if he beats this case, and it turns out that was a false manifesto.
The only reason I have sympathy is because I know how it is to be broke and just not have it in you to be fighting big political battles, especially when you literally cannot afford to retain a lawyer to do so. I’d wager most removals are due to that, but that’s just me putting myself in other people’s shoes.
No offense… but is this your first day on the internet?
The US NSA sucks down the entire contents of the entire internet every day since like 2010.
We’re like five days out from a murder in broad daylight and the suspects’ Reddit and Github accounts have been leaked.
During the Iraq War, sites like Linuxjournal.com were classified as “extremist forum” and people who went to the site were marked for deeper surveillance. The Bush admin also came close to hitting non-violent Quaker protestors with terrorism charges.
The instance admins at Lemmy have to buy a domain, that means the Domain Registrar has their real-life info on who they are. Depending on their country, they might be legally required to keep logs for years. Meaning all it requires is a subpoena for information and they’re required to dig it up and give it to the cops. (How did the cops get their name and contact info? Subpoenaing the Domain Registrar) So anything you did to interact with that site, including your IP, info on your OS, browser, screen size, installed applications, etc. are available for the cops to ask for, if they have a legal investigation they are pursuing. Your ISP might be required to keep logs, too. Since every piece of hardware has a unique MAC address, it’s trivial to cross reference when a specific IP was assigned to a specific MAC address and whose account that MAC address is tied to. They don’t generally hand out internet connections to people who refuse to show ID and pay only in cash.
You are not even close to fucking anonymous here on a public facing website without encryption.
Unless you’re using a VPN and Tor/Tails to connect to the internet, your identity is known. Even then, if a nation-state wants your ass, they’ll find you.
But this is Lemmy. I thought this place allowed people to exchange about important topics.

Do you really think that they would go after social media moderators? How would they even go about that? We are anonymous!
I think, emphasis on the think, it may be due to the ‘class war’ discussions! Ppl are getting radicalized for the better or worse…
