I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.

    Personally I would like to be able to talk to people with different views, in a civil manner. But Lemmy.ml doesn’t seem to want that. If you post something that they don’t like (even if it’s a very moderate view and is expressed in a completely civil way) then they ban you. They seem to really hate moderate people.

        I got instance banned for saying federal democratic republics are a form of democracy.

        Edit: I also don’t care. I never expected M-Ls to do anything besides M-L things and they don’t owe me anything.

            Everyone can see why the mod said they were banned. If you believe the mod logs, I was banned from 196 for “supporting genocide”

            Which is why you can see them do it exactly as stated. “American propaganda” lol.

            Have fun hanging around people who ban people for disagreeing with the party line of a dead ideology that had its corpse cannibalized by fascists. That will surely lead to the second revolution.

                That’d be the part where they hid the actual comments and mod responses on all the .ml communities. Interesting that it rewrites the history when they decide to undo it, I hadn’t actually noticed it expired.

                So weird and uncharacteristic of M-Ls to do something shitty and then delete the records and then lie about the cause because it makes them look bad…

                  .world communities do the same thing, just banning someone for “misinformation” looks much less suspicious than showing posts of me linking people the Wikipedia article on Tienanmen Square and describing what the article said and surrounding context instead of joining the china-bad circle-jerk.

                    There’s a pretty big difference between arguing the details of something as controversial as Tianamen and instance banning anyone that doesn’t use the Party-approved definition of democracy even though they clearly referred to a specific form of it.

      Being banned means less of a problem for you - got a reason to ignore them and let them echo chamber however they want.

        I’ve never banned anybody for saying their view, and I don’t think I’d support someone being banned for saying their view, as long as they’re being respectful, and as long as they’re not advocating anything criminal.
