MODERATORS
 

I just realised, I can't post anything on lemmy.ml

So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there's a new moderator.

All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned

Then do it from a different instance? Who cares what they do on one specific instance? Fuck them and all, but it’s their instance. Complaining about it flies in the face of what lemmy is entirely about.

Or do I not understand the entire point of lemmy?

Totally transferring to another instance and losing your post history is kind of a shitty solution when they could just not have authoritarian moderators instead. They're also Lemmy's developers.

You don't have to do that, though. You can just post on a different instance from your normal account.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe instance admins can remove your content that's posted to another instance.

They cannot. But, if you created a community on your instance it must align to the instance rules and admin can moderate it (does matter who posts there).

The second, smaller, issue people will associate you a bit with the instance you selected for your account (even if it was by chance).
