In my view, Lemmy is not an alternative to Reddit at all as this is the case.
What is the explanation to this and why is the freedom of expression and speech not respected even here now?

As /u/AgreeableLandscape pointed out, the two examples of “censorship” (which you’ll notice these posts never cite btw, even tho every post is still available and the modlog of actions is public) were:
Someone spamming weird paranormal conspiracy theory links.
And the 2nd was a troll spam making accounts and absolutely demanding that I build a feature for them so that they could get paid.
I’ve also banned plenty of ppl spamming advertisements, is that okay with you? Should I get your permission next time?
If you’d like to run an instance with alien conspiracy theories, ads, and anything else, be my guest.
Do you mean he/she has posted the same/similar links multiple times across multiple communities? Because otherwise it’s literally a community about paranormal stuff…
Two different cases. The first one was one of those typical alien conspiracy theorist spammers you see shit up the front pages of pretty much every open platform. The 2nd one someone made multiple accts, and was a troll demanding to get paid.
Wait, just to clarify, did he/she post the said links in communities other than /c/paranormal?
Yep, they made a 2nd community and posted the same link.
How’s this possibly basis for a permanent ban? It was literally a subreddit about paranormal stuff… and he did repost that to a self-titled subreddit, but so what?
