Is lemmy.ml turn into authoritarian? - Lemmygrad
lemmygrad.ml
I just realised, I can’t post anything on lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog [https://lemmy.ml/modlog], there’s a new moderator. [https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/9abdd163-6ddc-4433-81f8-3b28c250f37f.jpeg] All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned [https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/668c7948-55b4-460d-8bde-d02d2e43cf58.jpeg] [https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/aa543e3c-2b2d-4067-8e53-c61d67fcd3f4.jpeg] [https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/5304967b-9b9e-4f00-a8d4-1322e4bb4b38.jpeg]

Finally some good moderation (mightily appreciated) on what was rapidly turning into Volkischer Beobachter, and look what libs have to say when suddenly discovered they can’t just spew every vile shit imaginable.

Of course it’s r/enoughtankiespam verbatim complete with “why there is so many nazis in our antiauthoritarian space”.

    It really is incredibly hilarious. I have no idea why they focus so hard on hexbear and mostly ignore us. Maybe name similarities between lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, I dunno. Maybe they don’t get that grad is a not subtle reference to Leningrad or Stalingrad, again, I don’t know.

    I’ve got a hexbear account cooking though. I should post more from it just to get triggered™️ lib responses. This account doesn’t farm them enough.

      I think it’s because most instances had defederated from us already and hexbear are very active posters, definitely much more active than we are. Other instances got blindsided when hexbear joined in, they thought we were the only “weirdo tankies” contained in our own instance lol
