You know, back over in /r/Australia if you even sneeze you get censored. If you ask why you were censored you got banned. Anything apposed to the mods views had you post taken down.

Will Lemmy be different? Is it different mods?

    Banned for asking why. Factual. Not making that up.

    Shadow banned in another account for posting an article that debunked one of the mods sources.

    Many censored comments, as they didn’t align with the mods world view.

    And no, this was all before covid. None of that nonsense.

    So another Australia group was created by another guy out of frustration. Turned out he ended up censoring everything that wasn’t aligned to inner city Melbourne extreme left.

    I’m a pretty left centre guy. I like to get along. Those places are just the worst.

    So. Am happy to be here and will happily contribute.

      Yeah, moderators are a coinflip. I’ve seen the good and the bad, and when politics gets thrown in the mix it can get ugly for the silliest of reasons.
