The administration of lemmy.ml routinely abuses its rule 1 anti-bigotry policy to conduct political censorship, deleting documented facts regarding the ukraine invasion, holodomor, and xinjiang abuses under false pretexts of imperialist propaganda, misinformation, and nazism while leaving pro-Kremlin talking points untouched.

Verifiable public moderation logs prove this systemic shielding of state propaganda, down to moderators inverting standard geopolitical context, such as noting that fringe extremist units do not make an entire democratic nation fascist, to ban dissenters under the explicit excuse of being a Nazi.

The Europe community moderator (https://lemmy.world/u/geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml), who focuses exclusively on criticizing the West and never Russia or China, banned me as a Nazi.

I decided to block the lemmy.ml instance entirely to avoid any further interaction.

I see that there are dozens of relevant posts; you can find the relevant report posts here

Fucking Christ. We aren't on .ml but you wouldn't know it from the number of people absolutely obsessed with them. Just ignore it if you don't like it. Join a de-federated instance, block the communities, whatever. Bitching here has absolutely no impact.

I'm more curious how .ml users feel about that mod's idea that rape is an acceptable action to do in certain contexts, for example if a woman served in a Western military.

I can understand all their political positions and opinions but that one seems beyond the pale.

That's nothing unusual for a user who excused pedophilia and posted a fascist dogwhistle.

I mean. You can also just go to their front page and read the "about this instance" paragraph where they clarify that they support a specific political ideology and will not tolerate dissent.

They explicitly built a walled garden. Don't be surprised they maintain the walls. There are other instances.

This is why everyone needs to defederate from that shithole. Only everyone that had the balls to, already has. The rest of the chickenshit admins are too afraid of losing their fucked up pseudo-authoritarian wannabe-communist content to make a move.

Buddy, that instance is run by the Lemmy devs. I agree, but I also think we're cooked.

There's always piefed or mbin. But until they start making our lives miserable with their code, I'm fine here.

They have zero authority outside of their own shithole. Fuck those losers.

You must be new around here. This is old news and a reason a lot of places block ml
