Dbzer0, good. ML, bad. Their admins are trigger happy with instance-wide bans against users who criticize them or their political ideology.

Btw, Lemmy.world also censors Luigi posts. I would switch to ML or mine

“I don’t like censorship, you should check out ML”
Troll or least aware fediverse user?

I meant it as better than lemmy.world in censoring in a neolib bias and thinking it’s not hexbear or lemmygrad. I have less bad experience with ML, so I guess least aware user lol ;)

From my experience as an anarchist user who ended up volunteering to moderate in these spaces, most of the censorship happens when people are either being racist or aggro/sealioning. While users definitely tend to be more positive when it comes to China in places like hexbear than in more heavily pro-west spaces they are still critical of its a shortcomings.
An example here: >80 up voted post with one of the highest comments criticizing the poor standard of care for trans youth in China
Here’s a thread criticizing Russia for being a cringe misogynist capitalist oligarchy and lamenting that the progress for women’s rights and LGBT rights that happened under communism wasn’t preserved. Again it’s a positive orientation because they are opposed to the west but also one of deep disappointment in their failures on social issues.
To me at least this type of commentary is a valuable perspective and is also stuff which often gets filtered entirely under the more advertiser-friendly moderation styles.
At the end of the day I value being able to at least hear dissent, I’m surrounded by the mainstream narrative in my daily life already anyways.

Sorry but unfortunately it’s two sides of the same coin.
I’m shitting on US and Western imperialism and their love for the Gaza genocide day in day out, had no problem to call the old senile fuck Genocide Joe and I argued against everyone who shilled for Kamala or the “lesser evil“ thing.
You got a lot of hatred for the latter part of .world and I often disagree with their liberal views. I criticized liberal media for fabricating certain narratives and some users thought I’m some MAGA brain damaged idiot.
Anyway so now that you know all of this about me, I’m also criticizing Chinese and Russian imperialism + genocide the same way. I got banned after like 1 comment on .ml for that and they said it’s for “racism“.
I honestly don’t see any difference, it’s just that .world and .ml users picked different teams. And I got banned faster in .ml lol

You might want to check the modlogs, bud. .ml HEAVILY censors posts and comments to the point that the admin will override mods and remove posts and comments that don’t even break rules.
.world doesn’t allow people to promote and encourage violence. Maybe learn the difference. And while you’re at it, how about you scroll through .world and take note of the shit-tons of edgy Luigi memes posted.

You can read I was already corrected but feel the need to type out a long rude and sassy comment. Thanks for showing me who to block!

The fact that this person admits to posting things before they know anything about it shows that this isn’t going to be a big loss.
