My participation will be low here for the time being, but this is something that affects all. Brace yourselves.

Additional information that borderline fascistic instances like sopuli.xyz already exist (Finland NATO supporter), and lemmy.one (PrivacyGuides admin) is run by a US/Canada nationalist that defederated Lemmygrad day 1 and calls people here liberals.

    That’s not salty, the developers intentionally state it’s not the flagship instance and help promote more “centrist” instances have stated a desire to see “mainstread, or liberal” instances to avoid lemmy.ml becoming… what it just became.

    Here is one of the devs saying so, in an official announcement post linked in the lemmy.ml sidebar: https://lemmy.ml/post/70280

        Currently i seen:

        • They temp banned Yogthos for week but not anyone who were attacking him.
        • They banned Freagle for 3 days for arguing, again, none of guys attacking him was banned
        • They removed some comments by an open fascist troll, not banning him:

        • Appointed new admin, seems kinda liberal iirc
        • Only one of the new fash was banned (for a month), and he needed to write something like this:

          Which community is this? Are communities allowed sovereign control over their content or does this fall onto the shoulders of the devs since it is in the primary Lemmy instance?

            Afaik all lemmy communities had to respect overall lemmy rules, but they are free to make their own too. I’m not sure who deals the bans, but i guess lemmy admins can override community mods since i seen some weird ban/unban combos few times.

      “I can be a shit-slinging bully because the instance-founders allow it!”

      not a great defense for a reasonable position. If your overlords allow disinformation and bullying, that’s a confession of misdeeds, not any consolation that your position is factual or morally correct.

      all that you’ve asserted is that you’re a prick, and that you have admins who will back you up, no matter what you sat or do.

      That’s fascism. isn’t communism supposed to be opposed to that?
