I'm doing my part!

I've found I've been blocked on world news for posting comments againts fascist ideas. I've been shadow banned from world news for posting comprehensive evidence of china's crimes against humans aka their concentration camps. It wasn't opinion i linked to studies, and it wasn't inflammatory. My comments were removed and now i can't like or comment.

It's really disturbing ngl. I mean reddit was trash too but i expected some freedom of information here.

Was it the .ml or the .world instance? I had comments deleted for "misinformation" on .ml. It's why I migrated away from .ml because it was only a matter of time before my account was banned.

it was.ML yes .

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

.ml is run by tankies. There's no freedom of ideas or speech on that server.

Yeah, I just blocked the .ml worldnews community. It isn't worth the effort trying to discuss politics with them. The .world instance has been fine for me so far.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You'll probably be happier at [email protected] instead.

I generally avoid communities on lemmy.ml where there are options elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

That makes sense there. A lot of marxist leninist crazies there.

I just found out Lemmy is blocking and removing users for having varied political opinions that don't line up with their forceful left ideals. So I'm out. This was a waste of time.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

What Lemmy? Lemmy is not a central authority.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Couldn't you just move to another lemmy instance? or host your own?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Can you say where you got this idea? I see a lot of conservative opinions considering the entire idea behind this platform was conceived and executed by far-leftists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Isn't [email protected] still going well?

This is true but I've found I've been blocked on world news for posting comments againts fascist ideas. I've been shadow banned from world news for posting comprehensive evidence of china's crimes against humans aka their concentration camps. It wasn't opinion i linked to studies, and it wasn't inflammatory. My comments were removed and now i can't like or comment.

It's really disturbing ngl.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Interesting -- me too. OP misunderstood you and thought you're a conservative. lol

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Thank you so much for commenting this. I thought I was going crazy. World News seems to be the culprit. It isn't fair to the users to deny information. I think I'm going to leave, it is too disturbing. I don't need this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I would suggest rather than entirely leaving the Threadiverse, just leaving that community and joining the [email protected] community.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah i just blocked that community, but really shit we have dickheads like this ruining lemmy with arbitrary censorship.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Really no different than Reddit in that regard. At least we don't have people automatically banning you for having ever interacted with specific other communities yet, at least I don't think we do yet.

EDIT: Shit, somehow I forgot the don't. Teach me not to proofread.

Switch instances?

[+] [email protected] -6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Would it be much better do you think? I've heard others are worse, but I am not sure of them all. I can look into it. I just want people to be able to have open, civil conversations without being silenced by biased mods.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you have an issue with a given community, find or start an alternative one on another instance. If you have an issue with how your instance deals with anyone, sign up for a different instance.

I urge you to consider this before giving up on Lemmy entirely, it's kind of the beauty of the federated services.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Agreed, there are lots of instances, and that may be one thing that allows Lemmy to actually have space for different political leanings. As I understand, conservative circles are not very large here, but that can change, and smaller communities generally are healthier. Check those out and recruit your pals- be the change you want to see in the world!
