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

    Well, the situation is a bit more complex. Admins of this “specific Lemmy Server” are creators and main maintainers of the Lemmy project as such.

    So, generalization you are afraid of makes some sense.

      Only if it’s actually having an effect on the Lemmy project.

      From what I’ve seen, the Lemmy devs recognize that their opinions aren’t welcome everywhere, and that Lemmy should not have any biases.

        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.

      It also has the largest worldnews community, which bans you for discussing a literal war in Europe
