Worldnews .ml modding is on par with reddit's censorship (sh.itjust.works)

I know that lemmy's moto is if you don't like it here make your own, but for communities with big sub numbers and where current event discussions happens. banning controversial political opinions is not what I would have expected from the fediverse after having left corporate media, which could be excused for having to answer to investors and what not!

After I got a comment banned for what I think is nothing else but controversial, where it received quite the same amount of upvotes and downvotes, I took a look at that community's mod log, and there is nothing to be cheerful about. the same reddit mods have made it to the fediverse and are trying to turn it into the same hive mind other social media are, it is a shame it is turning out to this.

How long is the comment ban for?

I don't know lemmy is still not very transparent about which mod banned for which comment and where to contest a ban or report mod abuses.

Anyways I might just drop news and political communities as they tend to only allow views that are in accordance with their biases. or maybe even drop lemmy altogether

Block lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net, and block all communities/magazines about politics. Then your experience will improve a lot.

Lemmy.world isn't better than those three instances. Tankies don't scare or bother me. everyone is equally partaking in censorship, no one can hold arguments anymore, every one is allergic to having their opinion challenged.

Lemmy.world isn’t better than those three instances.

I didn't mention lemmy.world at all, neither I said I was on that instance (I'm not, by the way), neither I said it was or wasn't better than those three instances.

Tankies don’t scare or bother me.

Yet you were censored on a washed out tankie instance.

Only tankies and people who don't think that America is a continent. Otherwise, I didn't have any issues with anyone.

The other big world news community is hosted at Lemmy.world that's why I was talking about LW.
