Stupid mods, well one of them, refuse to even look at a dictionary definition of the word troglodyte and prefers to stick to the idiotic method of using Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. End result is that I was banned for calling living humans troglodytes even though there are communities in Tunesia and China (and I supplied links, which were of course deleted as was the link to Cambridge dictionary). Damn censorship. I thought Lemmy was founded to get away from those type of shenanigans that happened all to often on reddit?
Getting banned for calling someone a troglodyte is absolutely on brand for Lemmy.world.

You thought wrong. Lemmy was created as a decentralized link aggregation for the fediverse. Also, Lemmy’s creators are not in charge of lemmy.world. That’s the whole point: people can create their own instances with their own rules and moderation philosophies without having to answer to any one ruling entity.
If you don’t like it, go make your own instance.

I’m fine on Lemmy.zip. TBH, it seems to be the instance where I see more of Lemmy than on any other instance. Guess that’s because they don’t really block many others or not many block them. My gripe is the censorship on that community especially since it seems to be the only active political community I’ve found with my shitty search skills. I’m sure there are other communities that censor like the authoritarian instances beehaw and lemmy.ml for example, but I haven’t really run into them yet.
