I've found I've been blocked on world news for posting comments againts fascist ideas. I've been shadow banned from world news for posting comprehensive evidence of china's crimes against humans aka their concentration camps. It wasn't opinion i linked to studies, and it wasn't inflammatory. My comments were removed and now i can't like or comment.

It's really disturbing ngl. I mean reddit was trash too but i expected some freedom of information here.

Was it the .ml or the .world instance? I had comments deleted for "misinformation" on .ml. It's why I migrated away from .ml because it was only a matter of time before my account was banned.

it was.ML yes .

You'll probably be happier at !world@lemmy.world instead.

I generally avoid communities on lemmy.ml where there are options elsewhere.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I just blocked the .ml worldnews community. It isn't worth the effort trying to discuss politics with them. The .world instance has been fine for me so far.

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

.ml is run by tankies. There's no freedom of ideas or speech on that server.

[-] set_secret@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I understand that now

[-] MoonJellyfish@lemmy.today 7 points 2 years ago

That makes sense there. A lot of marxist leninist crazies there.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Wait......people on Lemmy.ml can ban your account site wide if you're not home to lemmy.ml? I don't know the right word for it. But I log into Lemmy.world. You're saying if I comment on a topic on a Lemmy.ml instance, the Lemmy.ml mods can ban the whole account site wide?

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

For reference:

Modlog

He linked https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_internment_camps

That's not allowed on lemmy.ml

[-] Blaze@reddthat.com 9 points 2 years ago

Lemmy.ml and world news, name a more iconic duo

[-] awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Kind of sad how many communities are on .ml. Would like to block the entire server but lose too much content.

[-] Blaze@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

A new post has been created about this issue: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417

I guess we'll start people moving from that instance more and more as time passes

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

New person here. What isn't allowed on Lemmy.ml? The linking of wikipedia?

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Anything that speaks poorly of China, especially Wikipedia.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

How did Lemmy.ml become the dominant userbase with those policies?

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Lemmy.world is bigger, but Lemmy.ml.is the developers' instance, and gets the newest versions of Lemmy first.

It's also the oldest instance, I believe.

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

Already mentioned below, but for better visibility: !world@lemmy.world has better moderation.

[-] ZoraMystery@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

There have been many times I've been blocked by subreddits just for posting an opinion that the moderators disagreed with. Moderators have way too much control over the website.
