Comment on Is lemmy.ml turn into authoritarian?

  I unsubscribed from world news on lemmy.ml as soon as I heard about them being tankies. Lemmy.world has the same community with mostly the same posts anyway.

    I mean this really upsetting since they have c/technology and c/privacy communities. Someone might post something like high-tech surveillance of actvtists or Uyghurs

      There’s a reason I don’t mod any communities on that instance. I don’t understand why other people would either.

  So what’s the problem? It’s a ban-happy three-person mod team shaping a community. There are other communities with the same explicit subject. When a community’s mods move it in a direction you don’t like, you join or make a different one, and the nature of Lemmy means they haven’t even camped an important community name.

  It’s not even a particularly tankie sub, there’re posts calling Russia warmongers still up and at +82. Seems like most of the removals were posts trying to pick fights. And while tankie bashing is often fun and warranted, it’s not really extreme censorship to say that’s breaking a rule saying “everyone should feel welcome here”.

  Too bad It's impossibe too see wich mod is doing what.
  It could be a general lemmy.ml policy, it could allso just be that the first worldnews mod is opiniated , and chose his own modteam for worldnews.

    Can’t users see which moderator/admin removed content in the modlog?

      It just says mod/admin on lemmy.ml , on kbin you can see the mod-username.
