Evidence that lemmy.ml weaponizes rule 1 to censor criticism of russia and china

2 days ago by Labor Class to c/fediverse

The administration of lemmy.ml routinely abuses its rule 1 anti-bigotry policy to conduct political censorship, deleting documented facts regarding the ukraine invasion, holodomor, and xinjiang abuses under false pretexts of imperialist propaganda, misinformation, and nazism while leaving pro-Kremlin talking points untouched.

Verifiable public moderation logs prove this systemic shielding of state propaganda, down to moderators inverting standard geopolitical context, such as noting that fringe extremist units do not make an entire democratic nation fascist, to ban dissenters under the explicit excuse of being a Nazi.

https://lemmy.ml/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=25800386 and https://lemmy.world/modlog/446?page=1&actionType=All&userId=20355358.

The Europe community moderator (https://lemmy.world/u/geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml), who focuses exclusively on criticizing the West and never Russia or China, banned me as a Nazi.

I decided to block the lemmy.ml instance entirely to avoid any further interaction.

I see that there are dozens of relevant posts; you can find the relevant report posts here

I mean. You can also just go to their front page and read the "about this instance" paragraph where they clarify that they support a specific political ideology and will not tolerate dissent.

They explicitly built a walled garden. Don't be surprised they maintain the walls. There are other instances.

Which one do you have a problem with? The first rule?

That is the instance's sidebar bβ–ˆβ–ˆh. I followed your instructions and got there.

Ah, I see my instructions were not clear. You did great with the first step!

So the second step, I now realize the link isn't "about this instance", but it is actually labelled "what is lemmy.ml". You can actually see it in your screenshot, right above the rules!

I'm very sorry for the confusion, I know it can be a complicated procedure.

Aww, look at the underhanded insults πŸ˜‚

Here it is. Could you enlighten me with where it says that they "support a specific political ideology and will not tolerate dissent"?

Sadly, dumb shitheads like you have no capacity to read or question anything 😒

Learn to disagree without being rude or disrespectful.

It can be difficult sometimes, since western social media thrives on collective outrage, and they knowingly ingrain this into us for years. But please do adhere to this rule, and it will make this place much more enjoyable.

duhh, how dare these damn tankees say that western social media thrives on outrage 😀

Well, at least you can read subtext half the time. Probably explains why you read for calling everyone "shithead".

Astonishing creativity, by the way. Simply incredible

Yeah, you're not beating the allegations.

You should toddle off now. You are clearly in over your head. Go off and play now.
