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

This is also up to them. If the admins are ok to get corresponding consequences - they can do this.
Posts like this posted here from time to time.

It looks like an instance and community policies must be somehow better visible.
No it’s not, they may walk the line, but if they cross it, the law will ultimately be enforced. So in the long run, a service can only exist if it is kept legal.
I’m not sure what you mean, but yes there are repeated attacks on lemmy.ml, and it’s getting tiring, because it always turns out to be very speculative, and not really an issue.
They are moderating according to their own rules. Rule 2: “Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.” Clearly the above poster violated this rule over and over.
That’s a completely different debate.
That rule is enforced capriciously and randomly. I just caught a rule 2 ban (I’m in the screenshot) for using the word “genocide” in a way they don’t like.
Meanwhile, I’ve reported literally dozens of hexbears for posting their pig shit memes and not a single one got removed. Apparently that’s more respectful than wrongthink.
