    Lemmy is massively censored. I just got another ban recently for taking about .ml bans in a .world thread.

        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.
