You’re on one of, if not the most heavily censored instances and you should try something else out
They're not on .world, where you can get instance banned for suggesting Ukraine might lose or trump isn't marginally worse than Harris.
World and ml are both really bad for the same reasons just different sides yes
You really have to try to get banned in ml. You'll get banned on world for disagreeing with the US Democrats.
Or banned for asking why something was removed and quoting the mod log
I haven't been banned from either, but I have had .ml mods remove comments speaking negatively of hexbear based on completely imaginary rules that aren't listed anywhere. Meanwhile, in that same discussion, hexbear users were brigading me and making literal death threats and their comments were allowed to remain.
I generally disagree. Lemmy.ml is more broadly federated than slrpnk.net or Lemmy.world, as an example, so really it's just "censorship" of a different bias and a different manner. All instances "censor," whether it be removing content that breaks the rules or defederating from instances that are ideologically opposed. This is especially prevalent on Lemmy, as the demographics largely fall ideologically into either the liberal camp, the Marxist camp, or the Anarchist camp, and these camps are concentrated on different instances.
Correct on being more federated yes. ml and world are both just too heavy handed with overzealous mods IMO. I’ve started using a couple other accounts that are on instances more federated and less moderated as well
More gets removed from Lemmy.ml as a consequence of its own broad federation, which appears as overzealousness.
