    Ok, to start a discussion we need a topic and some theses and arguments. Maybe a couple of examples, proving the topic.

    You’ve just thrown some shit in the fan and that’s all. There is nothing to discuss here.

    Eh, some big instances like .world or .ml are absolute cesspools, but many of the smaller ones are fine. 🤷‍♂️

    I’ve had plenty of discussion, debate, and arguments, and haven’t been banned or had any posts removed.

    If everyone else has a problem but you, then the problem is probably you

      I’ve been banned because something glitched and posted my comment 10 times instead of once, without my knowledge, so I’ve been banned for spamming.

      Not an example of censorship though.

        Not a surprise: you took a pot shot at Winnie the Pooh, who’s owned by Disney. You should know better than to mess with the Mouse, especially when you’re comparing one of their beloved mascots to a dictator wannabe.

    Indeed it is. Look:

    It depends on the instance, a lot of the old tankie and russian troll mods from Reddit have tried to setup shop on Lemmy, yes, but it’s difficult for them to have the same outsized influence since they can’t just back channel to the admins to get people banned, like on reddit. Their power ends where their instance ends, sometimes even just their community.

    Also, there’s a mod log here which is cool, and the ability to block whole communities or instances. It’s more difficult to hide trends in censorious behaviour in any given community.

      You got banned for starting fights with vegans too. I lol’ed at 196 banning you for being a “fuckass” though; only 18 months or so before that expires

        Actually they banned me because I told them they would be better off focusing their energy on harm reduction. Rather than protesting for the complete abolition of farming. Sensible stuff like developing better meat substitutes rather then calling people who drink milk rapists and murderers… As far as I’m aware, like 90% of the people that eat meat would prefer there to be minimal and or no suffering at all. I mean from a purely selfish point, the less stress in the animal the better. The meat is going to taste better the better the animal lives, stress, hormones, taste like shit.

        I’m considering this one more of a trophy than a ban though as their only other recourse was just to keep calling me a rapist murderer.

        There’s a decent community of people telling you that you’re the problem. To ignore that is flawed thinking on your part.

        You have two options: ignore them and continue to bitch and moan about how wrong everyone else is, or you can do some self examination and maybe be a better person for it. Your call.
