Comment on The lemmy.ml Problem
kabe@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoYes I have, which is why I’m asking. While I agree that the admin response was totally out of all proportion, this is not evidence of either of the things you claimed. What happened there was that OP challenged the pro-CCP version of events in a political discussion and got banned from the entire instance.
If you’re going to justify defederation based on non-political communities being policed and injected with propaganda, you need to provide some concrete examples of that happening.

First and for most my main reason for defederation is that they straight up lie and mislead.
If you demand prove I will unblock ml again and will try to find it.

I’ve seen it in the obvious communities like worldnews@lemmy.ml, sure. But in non-political ones? Not once.

Here are three posts from the memes-community. They got downvoted to oblivion (from the Users) and contain false information, but were not removed or anything from the moderators or admins.
Here is a Comment from someone who tells about his own experience in communist Hungary. His Comment got removed for violating rule 1 “Be civil and nice.”. Why does this comment of his own experience get removed for being not nice, but posts which contain propaganda and clearly insult people in an non-political Community like Memes did not?

This Comment ( even though I disagree with its content) got removed for “Bourgeois Bootlicking” despite having Rule 2 in place, which states: “Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.” His Comment was as, if you ask me, maybe not totally polite but still acceptable.

I appreciate the effort you’ve put in here, but still I do not see grounds for defederation.
The question isn’t “are there communities on lemmy.ml that are ideologically censored”, because of course there are; the question I am putting to you is “is the average user going about their business and not actively engaging in politically-oriented communities affected enough to warrant the largest Lemmy instance completely defederating?” I would still say no, personally.
