Is X moderation more conservative leaning? (lemmy.zip)

I'm not a political person but I've noticed that for example Reddit has a more left leaning moderation in comparison to what X (Twitter) is.

For example, if someone does hate speech against LGBT people on X and you report them the moderation team will tell you that the content didn't break the rules and guidelines, but if you as an LGBT person answer to the homophobic conservatives with the same energy you'll get a 24 hours suspension from posting or interacting.

I've personally experienced this many times and it's making me so annoyed specially since there's huge accounts on X that are dedicated to spread extreme hate even wishing death on other people.

Elon: hails from the OG apartheid state, in his free time boosts racist stereotypes about black people, far right influencers and far right political movements, one of which is literally the remnants of the Nazi party and does the Nazi salute for the whole world to see. This guy: totes not a Nazi

You really do not know the whole picture in South Africa, eh? And what is happening there.

If you are American, I do not blame you. It does not get enough coverage there.
