С 14 марта 2024 года администрация платформы Discord начала блокировать доступ российским пользователям к некоторым серверам с запрещенной в РФ информацией. Пользователи Discord из РФ сообщили Хабру,...
not sure about OP’s case but I’ve seen the .ml mods/admins censoring info about which mod did what mod action. Even called it “doxxing” (like wtf it’s public info to any other instance admin and users depending on the instance settings) so I could see them banning someone over that
It’s wrong to say that Lemmy is censored. Certain Lemmy instances censor more than others. Go to instances you like that don’t censor the stuff you don’t want censored.
The issue is that right now about a third to a half of the content is on instances which will ban you for random shit without notification. The only way to tell is to search that instance’s modlog, so you can effectively get shadow banned from half of Lemmy even while participating in the “free” half.
I agree that what you say is the longer term ideal, but it’s not how things currently are. I also don’t trust the .ml devs to not keep their thumb on the scale in various shady ways. They have shown themselves to be pretty shameless so far and there are plenty of ways they could quietly shape federated content by running a malicious fork. It already seems like they don’t federate much of their modlog, for example.
Lemmy is massively censored. I just got another ban recently for taking about .ml bans in a .world thread.
How does that work? Which server banned you?

.ml is pretty widely known to be a shitty instance.
Which one? They’re both pretty bad.
Edit: lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml are the two I was talking about.
Nah it was literally making a joke about how Lemmy user engagement was up so .ml needs to turn on the ban hammer to tamp down the enthusiasm.
