I mean… I don’t get what they’re lamenting, lemmy.ml, even if created by comrades, is a pretty liberal instance, comrades like yoghots (shout out to him) get censored and banned unjustly all the time, they just can’t stand the fact that people have ideologies differing from the democratic party.

    I decided to dig a bit on the “creator of Lemmy banned from r/socialism for posting neo nazi literature” claim just to see what was up with that, and the closest thing I could find to an explanation of what happened was this thread where one of the creators of Lemmy (as far as I can tell) claims they were banned for making posts denying that China was committing genocide against Uyghur Muslims.

    I don’t want to comment on the politics of that (other people are of course free to have that argument if they want to) and naturally that’s just one person’s side of the story, but nonetheless that’s as far as I managed to get with it.
